Night Shifts Suck
« on: May 15, 2007, 06:54:44 PM »

I had to work my first night shift in over 3 years last night, and if the title somehow alluded you, let me say it again, NIGHT SHIFTS SUCK! 

I have been on special assignment the last 3 years, working in an Operations Rep. capacity, I had been working as an Operations Advisor which required a 4 on 4 off 12 hr. rotating shift schedule.  I recently accepted a position with our international division that will either send me to Tengiz, Kazakhstan or off-shore in Nigeria on a 28/28 rotation that will start sometime in the next 6 months. 

As I am somewhat of a lame duck here, I got stuck back on shift, which isn't all bad, 4 on 4 off allows for a lot of golf, but I now have to deal with 12 hr. night shifts and no sleep for 4 days.   So, if I somehow manage to come off as an even bigger idiot the next 4 days, it's the night shifts.

Oh.  So as Op. Advisor what responsibilities do you have?


Do you have a preference (Kazakhstan or Nigeria)?

A guy from Evanston works for an oil company and previously owned a bar?  Say it isn't so.   Grin

I was gonna say, ever think of "chucking" it all, and chasing the American dream?  Like opening up your own bar.

But I didn't.  So I won't.






On Topic.  I worked that shift plenty.(Medical field. Hospitals.)  I feel your pain brother.  Hang in there.  Cheers

I write training and operation manuals, and work on plant optimization projects.

I've been to Tengiz a couple of times, and it basically is Evanston with a bunch of funny talking foreigners, so I would prefer Nigeria.  But, with all of the civil unrest in Nigeria (we have 10 employees being held hostage as result of off-shore facilities being foricibly boarded in 3 separate incidents) I am pushing for Tengiz.

Campy I can't believe you are back in the workforce so quickly (you know, the offer too good to refuse!!! Cool). I thought that you would have taken a few weeks off for a bit of R&R!!!!!
