Post Fuck Yeah!
I've been on he night shift at my job for nearly 4 years now... Everyday I work 2pm-10:30 pm (which is basically 1:30pm to 11pm with travel)- making me a hermit, keeping me from being able to do practically anything during the week. I hate these hours. But it's a good job.

Well today after bidding on every day-shift position they've posted in the past 3 years my number finally got called. Starting either August 1st or 8th I transfer to a new building literally 5 minutes from my house and I go on Day work- 7am-3:30pm!

Fuck Yeah.

Right now I don't mind that I came up empty handed on the mixed parts Boss Carrion, That I missed the SDCC'11 Skullwing or Ollie... In two weeks I can go back to being a regular human being again.. I don't think this day could get any better... unless someone has a marbled Skullwing they want to sell... ;)

Phil, it's always reassuring to here that hard work and diligence "eventually" pays off.
Congratulations and I'm sure those toys will come back around some day soon.

Great news man, I hate working at a place wondering how long it's going to be before someone on first shift dies or quits, so the long line of people on third can move up a pace... You start wanting to take matters into your own hands after awhile, thankfully you did it the honest way (hard work and determination)
Congrats...

Just be aware, there is a big ball of fire in the sky. It burns if you stay in it too long. :D

hope the new hours work out for you... grats!

I work a 9-5 in KoP and sometimes I think about what it would be like to work overnights or swing shifts, grass is always greener I suppose.

The commute is slightly easier because everyone is either at work or home when you're on the road.

It is changing it already- today and tomorrow are my last days... I'm training the mechanic who is replacing me on night shift its strange. I think my brain is phoning it in a little ;) and it'll be like starting a new job even though I'm at the same company.

I just can't wait to have that first dinner at dinnertime with Mrs. hellopike... ;)

Thanks- I'll be glad to start, because I've been doing the same work for four years now and in the building I'm moving to, they manufacture a different product totally, so the machinery and work is completely different. It'll be a challenge being the new guy again.
