Things that people who never work night shift dont understand...

if i come home from an 8 hour shift at the hospital at 6am in the morning. i sometimes feel like having a beer or a wine to relax... but people see you on your balcony in the morning with a beer and everyone thinks you are a weirdo

I used to work till after midnight and usually couldn’t get to sleep until about 2-2:30 a.m.

@cherokeepatti I did second shift for a short stint. Hated it more than 1st shift. Couldn't do anything in the morning, everything was closing afterwards.

@GwydionFrost same, the only real advantage was that I could make doctor and dentist appt’s early afternoon and not have to take off from work, I had so much time in my account that it was overflowing after a couple years. Also could get most business taken care of during the afternoon.
