Feelin' ya there. I used to do 12 hour night shifts hauling for the oil fields, and now I'm working shorter shifts for the VA, but they're midnight to 8am. As a driver, the shifts are a lot easier, being shorter, but still puts me way out of phase with the rest of my family. For instance, I had to stay up late last night and will have to get some more sleep this afternoon for tonight's shift.
I'm only on this to fill in for a guy on medical leave for a couple months, though. I don't suppose I'd mind if they made it permanent. Decent money.
...more money to fix up Earl.
