Message: <blockquote data-quote="turkeyrun" data-source="post: 4262907" data-attributes="member: 27991">I worked rotating shift most of my working life. 8 hr shift, add 4 hr overtime to 40% of shifts. Money was good, family life was tough. When daughter was in grade school,  she would tell friends, "daddy is on bear shift (night), don't call, knock on door or come over."Worked a plant start up, we worked 2 - 16s and a 12, no days off, no vacation for 19 months. Last 15 years, worked 12 hr rotating shift. Much better than the 8 hr rotation. I worked 0 overtime. To the point that most would not ever ask me if I would work.After 45 years of shift, I find myself, on occasion, it will be 5 am and I am still up, or I wake up at 3 am and make coffee, drink 3 - 4 cups and get busy.</blockquote>
