Yeah, it's 2am somewhere and you're browsing SA instead of doing your loving job. So let us see your night job.

Me, I'm mining plastic in the frigid Canadian winter. It's cold as balls out here, and this poo poo is heavy.


Really putting that brilliant mind and diverse skill set to great use for the betterment of society, alright.

I work 12 hour night shifts filling category 5 cytotoxic cancer drugs into glass vials.

PAPRs are not validated to be worn during aseptic fills, so you get exposed to all kinds of fun poo poo, even if you are wearing a bunny suit.

Your 12 hours is to produce drugs for the diseases I will inevitably develop from fume and dust exposure during my 12 hours. :aaaaa:

Overnight concierge/valet at a really upscale residential building in probably the quietest part of town. Nearest Bar or club is a good 15 minute drive. Not that it matters since 80% of the residents were alive during World War 2 and they're in bed before I even start my shift.

I get paid to play video games on my laptop and to buzz the newspaper guy in :toot:

Very good money, over $80k just to sit on your rear end, if you're on the road. It can be dangerous, people die occasionally, but if you have the mental capacity of an insect (or greater), death is easily avoidable. Don't step between trains, don't fall off of things, don't drink on the job, etc. Everything moves at a snail's pace.. no previous knowledge required, but be prepared to get furloughed often for the first few years. Pretty sweet job

I'm riding a motorcycle in Canada for 20 minutes each way, to make 15/hr while they refuse to pay my overtime, if it's any consolation. :v

Night shift is hilarious because it's all the people who can't get a long with day crew, yet somehow we are all get a long with each other. I love my job and love working nights.

the angriest sex machine
10 hour overnight in a group home for 8 teens with developmental disabilities and special needs. I clean the house, do a lot of laundry for kids who piss everywhere while wearing diapers anyways, and they all have to be at school by 9am which is when my shift ends, so I have to wake em up, shower, dress, feed and get them all ready, and mind you some of these fuckers are super picky eaters or steal food, meanwhile coordinating the two different bus pick-up times for those that go off our campus for school, then walk those that go to our school.

ive mopped up more piss and poo poo than any preschool teacher, some of the tards like to suddenly get violent and literally try to kill you, ive been sexually assaulted even more than straight up slapped (very frequent, im a small female and they're sexually aggravated a lot), and ive caught several nasty as poo poo illnesses from these walking petri dishes like the flu that turned into bronchitis and put me in the hospital last christmas eve and loving pink eye....

im underpaid because my state is broke and hates social services. sometimes it's fine and the kids are good, but most of the time i just want to go curl up in my bed and hide under a blanket and get a regular-ish social life again.

When you stick a dozen miserable assholes and I'll assume drunks together, they tend to get along pretty easy because there's no wimps around to call them out on being a jerk.

Pretty accurate. Day crew isn't wimps though, they are bitches. This is my 1st office politics jobs. Nights is under investigation for cheating/not doing work, because day crews #s are so bad. I have to explain why I'm doing too good. Also, they like to fire shots over minor poo poo through e-mails to the bosses. The retaliation is worth it though, you make them look retarded and the higher ups don't give a poo poo.

I've been working shifts for 2 years. Weekly rotation of days, nights and afternoons. Mandatory OT. I've worked 180 hours of OT since April 26th.

Sure, I love having a job. It pays OK. But I have absolutely no sort of life and I'm thinking about just dying instead lol
