LOL - I nearly did that - then worked it out - I think

No wonder you're bored! Hope the pay's good. Son does similar shifts and it makes a lot of difference to his pay packet. Not such long hours though, 2 days , 2nights, 4 days off. Well it's 3 off really by the time he's had a sleep. He works for Air New Zealand in Auckland

And I have just found the missing "truth no.9" 9) Everyone who has just read no.5 has just typed it into a calculator.

No, work 2 days, 2 nights 48 hours in 4 days...then 6 days off. I work for Waste recycling group, and montitor the gas production on landfill site around the country.....just involves me sitting in office all day watch a computer screen.

I woke up at around 2am and had to have a cup of tea! Night shift is deadly - are you on permanent nights? What do you do?

hi mags, I'm sat at work. 7pm-7am, very boring.

v. funny anyway - what are you doing up at this time of night?

No, I can't take credit for it...it was Peter Kay. Well spotted bout no.9 I hadn't even noticed!

Universal truth no.37: there's always some smart arse who wants to know where truth no. 9 got to!! Great reading - did you make it up? Magsx
