 Post subject: What should my new Work Schedule be? AM or PM?Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 5:57 pm 
Here's the deal: I've been working a 6-hr schedule (4pm-10pm) for the last couple months. They're switching things up and making us choose new scheds (overhaul)... I finally have the chance to jump for an AM schedule but I find myself wimping out a little. I'm a bit of a nightowl... I like the idea of going in early and getting off early though(before 5pm)... |

Go for the morning! I'm (un)lucky enough to have to work all three shifts...and I definitely prefer the mornings. Which is why I'm working on getting mornings only now. Hopefully soon...:S _________________ Trying to find my way around a dark life, always breaking the important things... |

having a regular morning schedule is a luxury. it helps me keep a schedule, and I get more done during the day, when I'm forced to wake up earlier than I normally would. Free Evenings are awesome, too! |

I feel like going into work in the afternoon and working late just eats up the whole friggin' day. I sure do like staying up late though agh. Lazy bones me. edit... so top 60 choices... first 3 are for a 9-2 spot (that would be heavenly and too good to actually happen) and the next bazillion are for afternoons so I can have a chance of having at least 1 day off with my boi. |

I'd go for the morning, it feels better. Like when I have free periods in the afternoon, I can leave thinking I still have the rest of the day to do stuff! |

If you work in food service, do mornings. If you work almost anywhere else, stick with the afternoon. I'm in love with my 2nd shift at a print shop, mostly because I get to miss Nashville rush hour completely. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I think the poll results answer your question. |

I think statistically, most people in the world work 9am to 5pm or there abouts, because it most closely conforms to our circadian rhythm. Even though the traffic is logically the busiest at these times, physically and psychologically it's best for us. _________________ Mike=] |

See, I hit 'quote' instead of 'edit', because at this time of night I'm out of my rhythm! _________________ Mike=] |

I love second shift, but it's not for everyone. And if they aren't paying you a shift differential for working second shift, you may want to go to first. I get paid 7.5% more than my base salary, plus free parking because I work second shift. |

Weeell, I turned in my packet of choices today... I filled in 81 spots. All I can do now is cross my fingers and pray I get the 9am
