Not nights but late shifts . Every frikken day - hate it. Could always cycle in the morning I guess but it's less social and I lack motivation in the mornings prior to work

Zoolander....know where your coming from, plenty of ride time to get out prior to shifts and its quiet but absolutely no motivation to do so on my own its rubbish.

I do rotating shifts 6-2/2-10/10-6 a week of each. Jealous of you 4 days off boys though. One of our plants requires 24/7 working so the guys do 4 on 6 off FFS that consists of 12 hr shifts ....2 days on then 2 nights on then 6 days off. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i hate them lucky gits.

2 days on then 2 nights on then 6 days off. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i hate them lucky gits.

That's similar to the pattern I do, first night, tonight last night tomorrow, finish Saturday morning and off till Friday day shift (technically only 5 days off because I'll have worked till 07:30 Saturday morning. 😀

I have 4.30am until 1pm at the moment. Last day tomorrow though!

Not a bad shift pattern though... 5 days on, 4 days off. Then 4 nights on, 3 days off. Turn tape over and repeat.

Yes. 8pm till 4am all week, finish Sunday. In early for overtime today and again over the weekend.

On nights all I do is eat, train and work (overtime please). I spend no money, which is nice. Looking forward to time off next week though.

Probably a good test of stamina and endurance though. I imagine if you could survive and pass an inspection and march immediately after a night out on the pi55, you could endure just about anything. (I'd never make it).
