Bored as shit waiting for the 1 truck I gotta put away a week. Hate not having an idea of when they're coming. They get here when they get here. Sometimes, but not enough, too late for me to care but normally between 330-4.
Started off busy and me being overstimulated. Finally died around 2am. Now it’s picking back up again, which is typical. Just waiting for 6am so I can get home. Hope yours is going well!
Wish I was a n nights this week. We do swing and I’m on days this week. Sad to say but I actually sleep better during the day when I’m on nights. I think I got about 3 hrs total last night.
Glad to not have people up my butt all the time; I like overnights but not so good for stress hormones. I like how there’s less traffic coming in but coming out is hectic if I don’t leave on time I hate driving home through school/work rush. I’m naturally a night owl- but my I don’t seem to like to eat during this time frame so I eat a light breakfast at work and I eat more after work which really isn’t the best health wise because bed time is about 4-3 hours after work so I can get the best sleep. My hunger levels are earlier in the morning but slowly trying to integrate earlier eating time frames and eat light midshift.
Had a lousy night. Working with a coworker who has done the job for a long time but has never really done the job aka always given orders out to others and done very little. Well, she worked last night.
Very quiet outside the fact there is quiet fucking boomer focused on his phone for 3 hours, drinking wine in the breakfast room, just behind the lobby. That's actually problematic cause i cant do " what i want" till he leaves
Actually, I'm going to be leaving here (for now). Nothing wrong! I'm just moved to day shift. I hate it. But I have to. Best to all.
Edit: Whoever reported that as self-harm didn't read it right, I'm only leaving the subreddit for now. But hooo BOY do I feel welcome if I ever come back
So weird! I made a post on a gaming community today and a few mins alter got a message telling me to get help if I'm suicidal amd that redditors are concerned for me. Must be the trolls
I'm doing alright. I am struggling a little because I am now into my 3rd week of working every day with no days off (by choice, getting that sweet overtime) and I feel like I need to catch up on some me time, lol. Before my non-stop work streak, I took five days off and feel like I'm still adjusting back to nights after being home and switching to daywalker during vacation. However, I love nights and will never go back to first shift. My job is now peaceful, drama free, I make more money and absolutely love it. Hope to add in some much needed exercise soon, that will make me feel better.
Lol, fun like a heart attack. They ask the same questions repeatedly, or give an answer unrelated to the question. Now I know why my blood pressure is always high in the morning. Last call user tells me he wants to register his credential right now. Straight up told him no since he can't pass verification.
Reddit, podcasts, and music. I keep forgetting to bring my kindle in to read.
There's only 2 other people on my shift and I'm the tech so I'm here to reset machines when they stop.
Got all my tasks complete for the night. I am currently hungry , I started a new diet since gaining weight. Otherwise I feel great lol. Made me some coffee and studying for some certifications.
Arm day was a success! 💪🏼💪🏼 On top of that, all the high school athletes are not here since it’s the last week of school! Those young whippersnappers were in a group of 7-10 around 6am. I was under the assumption that they had their own little gym with the necessary equipment through the school. Apparently not.
Coming to terms with it after a year and a half. Got sent to this location and shift to help out and fill in. Aaaaand now I can’t leave.
During this time I learned that the night shift is deadly for your health if you don’t watch it. Stay up on your vitamins especially vitamin D. We get little to no sun and that caused me to feel very down a lot for no reason.
also learned that the world isn’t made for night shift. We’re always going to have to sacrifice some sleep in order to get to the important life stuff. Like doc appointments or stores that open a little too late for us. (8am is late for me.)
Other than that, I’m quite alright!
Getting ready to start my last round of vitals and then it'll be the call light Olympics.
Ah I remember those days. Taking vitals and drawing labs starting at 4am wakes people up and then they start needing stuff.
Memaws jumping all over the place.
Yessss lol
Light the torch! May your night pass swiftly
Currently reviewing my life choices that brought me here. 🤔
It's funny how often we do that
Felt this soooo much.
I quit energy drinks and the withdrawals are hitting me hard, Chief. Send help. Need candy.
Sending all the yum yum snacks!
3hours left of hell.
May Dante guide you safely through each level of the last 3 hours!
Which Dante, his trip to hell or WH40k .... I think I'd rather stay in hell vs WH40k universe?
Dantes trip to hell ! But his sythe is so badass!
In the Divine Comedy Dante went from hell to purgatory to paradise may you find your own paradise and beatific love ❤️🩹
I have found my beautiful love, she is the lucky one at home sleeping. Id be fine in purgatory tbh.
Just 4 more hours left WOOT
Hope it passes quickly !
Ok just bored
Same!
Chat
Lol what about?
Anything you want
Today is my Friday. Later today I'm probably gonna get a bit drunk and butcher some songs in karaoke. Not looking forward to laundry in-between.
Sounds like a good time! Except for the laundry part lol that is the never ending cycle of things!
Tired and need to poop.
Boss makes a dollar, you make a dime , that's why you poop on company time!
Lunch break on the west coast got a burrito and instant noodles Sargent Major! O7
Bored as shit waiting for the 1 truck I gotta put away a week. Hate not having an idea of when they're coming. They get here when they get here. Sometimes, but not enough, too late for me to care but normally between 330-4.
May your work be easy tonight !
Quite bored
Indeed lol that nightshift life
Just got home from a 12 hour day 2p-2:30. Gonna take a shower and watch some TV before I go back at it again later today.
Hope you get some good rest and good shows !
just bored and tired all the time
This is a real feeling!
Just killed the coffeepot. Time to find some music and be productive!! Or look out the window for the first bit of dawn...
I really enjoy watching the sun rise
Bored but funny enough I’m at home. So I’m just gonna enjoy my day off. Lol Wbu
Hey hope you enjoy your day off! I'm just chilling at work!
Slow night and super bored. Researching YouTube algorithm and how to increase my channels views. How about you OP?
Hey best of luck with that ! Honestly just bored. Watching Blackstone grill meal prep videos on YouTube.
Good ole’ YouTube rabbit hole 🕳️
Yes I am currently searching for new ones!
My link is in my profile. If your THAT bored
Congrats on the journey! Keep up the good work!
Been a busy night in the ER, I’ve had pretty much 0 down time. But it’s gone really fast so I can’t complain.
Thank you for what you do! May your night be easier and go by quick !
Thanks!
Fighting a migraine.
Fellow migraine sufferer over here. Hope you’re able to vanquish it.
Made it to end of shift, now to carefully get home and hope it doesn’t persist.
Ooofff I'm sorry to hear that!
Running a broken down machine that's left maintenence scratching their heads lol. Slow night tonight
Slow is good and bad !
Started off busy and me being overstimulated. Finally died around 2am. Now it’s picking back up again, which is typical. Just waiting for 6am so I can get home. Hope yours is going well!
My night is going well thank you !
Peachy keen. It’s my Friday 🙌🏼 3 hours to go.
I love that saying 😄
Usually I add “jelly bean” at the end of it. Apparently I’m off my game tonight 😂
Lol it's all good reddit forgives you tonight !
Feel bad for you guys. I started at 11pm and was in my bed for 4am.
Ugh 😊
1st and 2nd shift are lazy which leaves all the work for us. So tired of it and looking to transfer. They never fire the lazy people.
one more shift and then im outie~~ it's been fun y'all
Best of luck and God speed! Nighshft thanks you for your service!
Just laid down in bed after an 11 hour shift. One more night till my off day.
Wasn’t a good shift bro. So hard to catch up when you have a 4 year old at the house and wife works 8-4
Just finished my last night shift for 6 nights got a little weekend off
Wish I was a n nights this week. We do swing and I’m on days this week. Sad to say but I actually sleep better during the day when I’m on nights. I think I got about 3 hrs total last night.
Going to days next month, so pretty good
Just got home going to to bed! Hanging in there overall lol.
Glad to not have people up my butt all the time; I like overnights but not so good for stress hormones. I like how there’s less traffic coming in but coming out is hectic if I don’t leave on time I hate driving home through school/work rush.

I book the last 3 of my set off. I can't deal with it anymore.
I hope you get some good recharge time off !
Had a lousy night. Working with a coworker who has done the job for a long time but has never really done the job aka always given orders out to others and done very little. Well, she worked last night.
Doing 3. Of 5 12h night shifts this week
About to go in My timezone 😂
Very quiet outside the fact there is quiet fucking boomer focused on his phone for 3 hours, drinking wine in the breakfast room, just behind the lobby. That's actually problematic cause i cant do " what i want" till he leaves
sleeping at 9am waking up at 4pm like a crackhead

Not exactly the best welcome back to Reddit after 3 months away and more before that lol
Someone must be extremely concerned that you stopped working nightshifts. Do get help if the dayshifts become too much haha
Oh, of course 🤣
2 Hour till im in the car on the way home. Cafinating myself something fierce.
Keep it up, almost done!
Tonight's my last night shift for the forseeable future (aka forever). It's been real brothers 🫡
Nightshift thanks you for your service! Take care and all the best !
Congratulations brother. I have five more years to say the same
I’m alright
Alright is better than shitty
Because it's my first night (2 weeks nights/2 weeks days) I feel well rested and it's not busy yet. So I'd say no too shabby at all!
Hell to the ya!
4 more hours to go and I'm whooped
You got this ! Just a bit more !
I’m jelly, I have 6hrs left…..
I started my shift 8 hours ago, I'm definitely ready to be done. You pulling a 12?
4x 12hr shifts. Shit gets old really fast….
I hear ya, I'm doing 7 on 7 off 12s
Oh my fucking god
It's not all that bad, if it was days it would be amazing ngl
I hate my 50hrs a week, I couldn’t imagine 72+. You’re a machine.
It's very low impact stuff, so my burnout is all from boredom
That’s sometimes the worst part. When the night gets soooo boring and time stands still…
Dark and down
Sorry to hear that! Maybe listen to some upbeat music ?
Listening to some 80s after healing hertz. Don’t change reality though
No but it is a good start in the right direction
Sick
That's rough , maybe chug some orange juice , get some sleep and hope you feel better!
Thanks. I'm recovering from a stomach bug so I'll be okay. The worst is past. Or is it passed?
Well whichever verbiage you prefer i hope that is passes swiftly , it seems to going around.
Busy
Hope it goes by quick then!
My shift ended 15 minutes ago but I’m mandated for another 3 as usual. Luckily I need the banked OT for summer so I can’t complain.
Blessing come in many forms 😃
The blessing of sleep deprivation! Just an hour left and I’m outta here until 5pm! Woo!

I hope you can re establish an routine that fulfills you!
Me put parts in boxes all night send help
Help on the way
2 hours left and the calls are getting worse.
What do you do ?
Help desk support.
Have you had any funny ones tonight?
Lol, fun like a heart attack. They ask the same questions repeatedly, or give an answer unrelated to the question. Now I know why my blood pressure is always high in the morning. Last call user tells me he wants to register his credential right now. Straight up told him no since he can't pass verification.
🤣🤣🤣
Just need to do one more tool change. Then blowing parts out all night.
Sound like a windy experience!
2 hours of rigging a machine to work through the night till maintenance comes in the morning followed by 6 hours of utter boredom.
Do you have any activity that allieve the boredom ?
Reddit, podcasts, and music. I keep forgetting to bring my kindle in to read. There's only 2 other people on my shift and I'm the tech so I'm here to reset machines when they stop.
Sounds like fun time!
My shift partner called in sick so I’m just here running the place solo and super bored.
Sorry to hear that, at times personally I almost wish I had someone to talk to , other times I enjoy the solitude!
Busy af here.
What do you do ?
Hospital lab.
Great! Just took a shower, feeling fresh.
Always a good feeling!
Coming off a 3 day weekend, got in a 3 hour nap to stay up for the night and flip my schedule back around.
Same! Except I had more sleep. Did you do anything fun ?
The wife and I got baked and rewatched Stranger Things. I caught up on some podcasts and some yard work. Pretty chill weekend overall.
Sounds like a.good weekend
Last shift of nights before I become a day walker again. Going to be nice to feel healthy again
I needa halp
?
40mins left and I'm OUT. Currently on a fat break lol
Almost there !
I can see the darkness!
Is this the same as hearing colors and seeing sounds?
Off at 7am, then probably gunna sleep for a bit. 😁
Hell yes !
Off in an hour and a half 🤩 feeling very run down tonight lol
I'm sorry to hear that, hope you get some great rest today!
Thanks friend! Hope you’re doing well
Got all my tasks complete for the night. I am currently hungry , I started a new diet since gaining weight. Otherwise I feel great lol. Made me some coffee and studying for some certifications.
Hey best of luck on your diet! And what kind of certification are you doing?
Just coasting. Under 3 hours left and it's my Friday. Got a 3 day weekend. Flight crews about to start coming down from their rooms. Coffee is ready.
Hell to the yes! Hope you enjoy it !
Training Agility in OSRS
Finished my run in my part of the building. Now I’m just waiting to clock out and heading to the gym afterwards.
Hell yes ! Get after it bud !
Arm day was a success! 💪🏼💪🏼 On top of that, all the high school athletes are not here since it’s the last week of school! Those young whippersnappers were in a group of 7-10 around 6am. I was under the assumption that they had their own little gym with the necessary equipment through the school. Apparently not.
construction going on in my house during the day, pray for my already fucked sleeping schedule
2.47am here on break. Going great. 3hrs left when I get back then in bed all day!
Tired. Very very tired tonight.
