First shift the answer?
After a recent turn of events, I think I would be better off on first shift.
Been doing some thinking about this lately, if I get a chance to go to first shift, I think I will go that route now. Especially if I can get weekends off.
The reasons I say this because, the other day I went to my nephew’s police academy graduation, usually during my sleeping hours. If I would have slept during those hours, I would have been able to make it to Jerry’s birthday celebration which unfortunately I missed. Instead of going to the celebration I ended up having to catch up on sleep instead.
Other reasons, I have been wanting to go to concerts during the week, local bands for example. Been wanting to go to another Justyna Kelley concert, every time she has a concert it’s during the week and not the weekend. So I am missing out on that. I would feel more like a normal person if I sleep at night, and got up during the day, during the morning hours. Right after I get off work, I could go straight to Urban Active and work out for an hour or so, then go home. I think that would work out best for me.
If I had to stay on third longer, that’s fine I can deal with it, I have been doing it for several years now, and it has worked out pretty well for me, but I think I need a change now. Especially if I get more energy during the day, and feel more awake etc. I definitely got to give it a try. Be a hard transition for me, but when I am tired it doesn’t matter what the hours are I’ll sleep. If I sleep better and longer during the night, I’m up to the challenge.
If I don’t get weekends off, it will not be the end of the world, but I do enjoy my weekends off, haven’t had weekends off in several years, so switching shifts will be like having to work up to weekends all over again.
I am not a fan of change, it takes me a while to do something different or well getting used to the idea, getting used to doing it etc.
I just hope this is what is best for me, is first shift the answer?

Change is always hard, but sometimes the rewards are greater. Hopefully if you make the change you will find that to be true.

I think first would be great, but it does have to be your decision. You know that. I would LOVE for you to be on first, it would open up a lot of different things for you and we wouldn’t be rushed as much. BUT, we make it work now and regardless we make it work. I’m just thankful you don’t work 2nd. Now that would stink.
