shift workers

[mr self destruct]

No destruct.....midlife crisis, 20yrs shift  just seeing if it's just me and there actually is a social life to be had on shifts or if the only way is to go 9-5 and suffer the pay loss (which would be rather mahussive) :\

It seems from the replies on here that if you want a social life, then shifts are a no-go. I agree about the money though, but since going on the shifts (which I fought tooth and nail against at first) I've always lived like I'm on straight days and put the shift allowance away for a rainy day. Good thing too as my wife's just lost her job.
