I'm on a bit of a weird shift 3pm-3am (yes, 12 hour shifts, but I work less days overall) which is a bit of day shift then mostly night.

I hope I get to stay on it as long as I work here.

I miss all of the worst traffic on my commute.

I'm basically living the schedule we all dream about as teens and college kids- sleep in until noon, go home when the bars have kicked everyone out. That's my every day, but it's not so far removed from a normal schedule that it would be a huge adjustment to get up earlier to do stuff when I want/need to.

I work in a 911 dispatch dispatch center, to me, days shift kind of sucks, the calls are often nonstop and tend to be mostly dumb shit, night shift is (usually) slower so I have some time to read or bust out my switch and play games or whatever between calls, but when the phone rings it's more likely to be something Interesting (which is admittedly not a plus for everyone given the nature of the job)

My wife works a normal day job, so our dog is only ever left alone for about 3 hours or so when we both work (although this has worked against us a bit since she expects a 3am walk and some playtime and attention)

This isn't really a day/night shift thing, but the way my schedule works I never work more than 3 days in a row unless I go in for overtime, every other weekend is a 3 day weekend, I have days off during the week to get stuff done. I actually kind of struggle to find stuff to do with my PTO because I pretty much can fit everything in to my normal schedule, and if I plan things right I only need to take 2 days off to get a whole week off.
