But I find that if I just gut it out and stay up until 7 or 8 pm post call, I do better than if I nap during the day.... Bit I swear it's aging me! A couple of years ago I looked 10 years younger than my age, now I look just a few years younger. Oh well, it's the price I pay for having tha job that I do (and love). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-atypical-work-schedule#post-391355 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 10:54:41 +0000 mrbee 391355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Dang, does that throw off your sleep schedule like crazy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-atypical-work-schedule#post-391352 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 10:53:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 391352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work about 2 over night shifts per month 5 pm-7 am... In addition to a regular full time (plus) schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-atypical-work-schedule#post-391306 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 10:04:58 +0000 mrsmenow 391306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from 7pm-7am, the day of the week rotates and I have to work every third weekend. It is a lot of juggling with the kids, but I am able to go on field trips and go to family holidays (I am just usually really tired if I haven't slept much before hand). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-atypical-work-schedule#post-391213 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 07:55:09 +0000 anonysquire 391213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I work 3 12 hr shifts and then 3 8 hr shifts a week. I usually take Tuesday or Thursday off. But since I work graveyards I still feel fairly social. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-atypical-work-schedule#post-391196 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 06:37:21 +0000 mamimami 391196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work from 5 am to 1 pm, and at an earlier point it was 230 pm to 1130 pm... Or I had Monday and Tuesday off too. All when I was single, though. I think it would be really hard to do now that I'm married with kids. I we so glad to move into a career with normal hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-atypical-work-schedule#post-391188 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 05:33:27 +0000 squid 391188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its 2 in the morning right now, and I just got home from work...Mondays and Tuesdays are my typical days off. This obviously places me on a pretty different planet from the rest of the world. I'm very fortunate in that my wife has basically rearranged her schedule so that we can at least share days off...so I definitely consider myself lucky.</p> <p>As for friends and family though, it's always difficult. Always having to say no to dinners, birthday parties, and all of the normal stuff that goes on, but what really concerns me is what my schedule might do to family life going forward.</p> <p>Do you have a "weird" schedule? If so, what do you do to make it work for you? </p>
