Guest homestead Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 Iv'e had to take a job with an agency and being my fist week accepting the shifts offered. Working Wednesday night, Friday day, Saturday day and to finish off the week Sunday night. 12 to 15 hour shifts, last night sorting the birds out as it was going dark. Pigeons dont pay the the bills so work has to come first its just a pity the long shifts. But Keep things can only get better.
ALF Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 I've been working shifts for 18 yrs you just have to get on with it mate
greenlands Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 Done shifts for twenty + years before I retired,as Alan says,just get on with it mate,must admit though,I worked with a good team of lads,if I wanted a couple of hours here and there it was OK.Just repaid them when they wanted the same.Hardest part was with young birds.
William Reid Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 Back shift sucks been on it now four year .but no money no doos
Guest IB Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 Worked shifts for 28 years and my advice is avoid if at all possible ... they disrupt the body clock and night shift especially does that for the rest of your life. When I retired for years afterwards I knew what shift I was on cos one week I'd wake at the crack of dawn, another I couldn't get out of bed before 10am, and the last I was awake all night and felt tired all day. It eventually wore off though - nowadays I sleep all night and feel tired all day. Somebody has to do it though as the world doesn't function just between 9am and 5pm Mon to Fri.
