No wonder my sleep is so fucked up. >.>

Yeah, my body clock was fucked up for years even after I got away from rotating shifts.
Some people just shouldn't be doing that stuff to themselves, apparently.

If I could find a job where I didn't have to do rotating schedules, I would.

My problem now is it's almost 3AM and I'm wide awake. If I try and stay up until a semi reasonable time tomorrow, I'm going to be exhausted by the time my shift starts. If I try and go to sleep around 7AM or so, I'll be wide awake all night again tomorrow. I really just can't win at this point.

I'm thinking I'm going to go grab a coffee and play KOA until I pass out. Maybe if I'm really lucky they'll cancel my shift, since the only reason I'm working tomorrow is to cover for a guy who had his foot stepped on by a horse. If he shows up for work tomorrow, I don't have to go.

I had a few jobs of 8 hour reverse rotations.......and one of 12 hour rotations :ugh:

One particular job I had at the end of my "shift work era" actually wasn't bad at all.
A couple of days (random) of short shifts 8am - 2pm during the week, and then 2 later shifts on the weekend (Friday, Saturday or Sunday night).
Maintenance at a ten-pin bowling alley (that also had some coinop machines, and I had the keys of course).......pity it was crap money, it was good other than that :awesome:

My father was a shift worker for the first 15 years of my life. 12 hour shifts, every couple of weeks he would switch from nights to days, then after a couple more weeks he would switch back. Even when I was ten years old I could see how much it was fucking with him.

I usually work two 8 hour shifts, then a couple of 4-5 hour shifts during a week. I rarely work more than 30 hours in a week, although this week I have at least 32, maybe even 37 if the guy doesn't show up tomorrow and I have to go in. That's really rare for me. 24 hours a week working four days is pretty standard.

I'm getting paid for 24 hours work on Friday, which is good because it works out at almost my full wage anyway. I missed almost a full week you see.

Also I'm fucking knackered. God damn jobs, making you work! :fist:

Just found out they are officially putting in a Tim Horton's at the mall just down the street from me. About a five minute walk.

I dunno if you can count that :thot:

But if you really want to, I seem to recall being involved with working bees for the local school when I was doing shift work at the same time.
I'm sure other people that work have done the same kinda thing :nod:

Yeah... the side quests take up more time than the main quest, I think. I haven't gone back to do any of the DLC. I don't think I ever will, either. :PP

New Vegas's DLC was more fun to me than Fallout 3's

Fallout 3 > New vegas. Personal preferance though.

Agreed I prefered the Scavving in 3 but the DLC's was bett... well except Honest hearts and Loansome Road was much better than fallout 3's ones. I never got all the hate on Dead Money that was the best one followed by Old World Blues which had the best line ever
