For bees who work nights and weekends. What is your job or where do you work? Do you love or hate working outside of the “business hours”?
I work wed to sat every week, sometimes I wish I could have lie in on a sat or a late night on a Friday but mostly I hate working when the kids are home from school on a Saturday.
I work 3rd shift 11pm-7:30am. My husband works normal business hours. I also work every other weekend. I am an critical care nurse. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t. I love the group of girls I work with and could never dream of moving to another shift at this point (they are not as team oriented as we are on nights). Also, I get a bonus for 4 years, I have 3 years left….its significantly less money on other shifts, so I would love to get the full amount. Csn’t beat free money!
I work 12 hour shifts Saturday and Sunday and I hate missing out on all the family activities. I actually work from home but still it is very busy as I take calls for a medical group answering service and so can’t really interact with the family. I also work 6 hour shifts Wednesday and Friday later in the afternoon so again I’m not available with the kids when they get home from school. Working from home is great, the money is good, but I do miss the time with the family and often times feel that we miss out on opportunities to do things all together like hiking and traveling. We do go to the movies a lot on Saturday nights though and my husband takes my daughter to all her Girl Scout events lol.
I am a paramedic so I work 24 hour shifts. I love my job but the hours are hard with kids
I work in property manangement so I work Thursday-Monday. Working the weekends only bothers me when I need to take more vacation days to weddings, showers etc.
SO works weekends as well so it doesn’t affect our relationship in that way.
I’m a lawyer and during our busier times, I’ll have to work at night and on weekends. I don’t mind it bc Fiance has to work some nights/weekends too and we either sit next to each other in our home office working “together” or I work off my laptop in front of the TV.
I actually work better at night (maybe this is a holdover from college/law school when I did my studying in the evenings) so even when we’re slow and I wouldn’t HAVE to work outside normal business hours, I’ll usually come home around 3pm to do some chores/run errands/watch daytime tv/play with my cat/nap/have dinner, and then I’ll start working again for an hour or 2 after that.
PS. What’s part 2 of this thread?
I’m an RN and I work 2nd shift(3p-11p). I don’t mind it so far, though I’ve only been doing it for a month. I used to work 12 hour nights 7-7 and I made it through a year before I finally switched back to days. Nights are tough, but it wasn’t the worst thing in the world for me!
