What A Drab Existence!!
This is my first blog. I have been a member for several weeks. To date I have been contented only to read the blogs. Now I want to try my hand at it.I am at work at this haunting hour. Doing the first of 4 night shifts. I work 12 hour shifts. Then I will be off for 4 days to return for 4 day shifts followed by another 4 days at home. And so the cycle repeats. I could tell you that I am the security manager but that is what everybody will tell you, therefore I will stick to being a security officer. It is more interesting and then nobody can call me a liar.
Our job is not to keep the premises safe. There are perimeter guards to do that. We are here to see that the company’s assets don’t abscond via our delivery trucks. The company packs meat and other fresh produce for supermarkets. Every now and again somebody is caught stealing something but they keep trying. I’m not complaining. It keeps me in a job.
When I work night shift I usually have a lot of time to spare. When I work dayshift it is a bit busier with bosses in and out all the time. Think about it! Another three shifts and I will be at home for 4 days again. That is the part of the job I like most. More than half my shift is done and in a few hours I will be in bed. Maybe CS will make the rest of the night shorter.
Next time I will tell you what I do on my off days. I have to go now but will drop in from time to time before I go home in about five hours.

Focus on the days you are off again.
Keep posting on the blogs
is that I rather have people laugh at me, than cry for me.
If you make a blunder and we all do at times, it is amazing how soon people forget until it is the next persons turn
but best of luck on this site
Happy blogging!
I do night shifts too...as well as 12 hours...If I have time I usually check what's going on here or watch a movie on my break...welcome to CS!!
I dont have such experiences with night shift... but I work till late night...
I agree with you by working at night shift then we will never have nightmare but day-mare
CS has shifts.
I go to bed. Someone else somewhere else wakes up.
We're 24/7, man.
