I want to get in as maintenance electrician at Toyota in a few years once I qualify, just not sure I want to go on rotation  |
I was on rotation for the last 12 years. The day shift kills me. It's great to be finished work at 2:30pm but I don't get enough sleep. Afternoon shift is ok.
I like midnights. It's a steady shift, I have a decent routine, also get good sleep (nothing like having a bed to yourself)
On Friday morning I sleep for 4 hours then live like a regular person, eat/sleep at normal hours. Then Sunday afternoon I'll lay down while Mini GaleForce is napping (I'll get ~4hours, he gets 1.5-2). To to work Sunday evening, and my routine starts all over again.
The last time I did. Midnight shift was 4 years ago when Mrs.Force was pregnant. That way I was able to go to all the Doctor appointments with her. It worked out really well.
Good luck with Toyota. I have a bunch of friends and family that work there, Cambridge and Woodstock.
