Cutting back is okay, I drink enough for everyone on the forum I think.
Glad you are doing okay, I know the last several days have been filled with many hours of work and not as much rest time for you.
Let me ask you though, when you work the different shifts are your duties exactly the same or do they vary according to time of day working?
When I work day shift it's a **** show. It's much much busier, as there are more people on site, and more work to be done. I issue welding tickets to welders, or permits for confined space entry, etc, etc....and a lot of that happens between 7am and 3pm.
The ONLY plus to day shift, IMO, is it generally goes by faster, depending on how things are spread out.
When I worked in Child Welfare depending on the time of year the midnight shift was the busiest but as a general rule the evening shift was the busiest shift to work, even over the day shift.
If it was the holiday season it was the midnight shift because of all the holiday parties, getting home late, being drunk. There was no time to abuse the kids because they were at the parties.
The day shift was busy but it was mainly kids left home alone when there was a day off of school, filthy house, very few physical abuse reports because kids were in school, a few broken bones, failure to thrive or born drug addicted.
The evening shift is when those who worked days would make a lot of their reports, after their business hours, parents would be home and drinking and abuse the kids, parents would go out drinking and leave the kids alone, grandparents would visit and find the children living in filth, no food, alone, bruised. Doctors, Nurses and a lot of other Mandated Reporters would be making their reports in the evening after shift.
The busiest days of the year are January 1 &2, the day after Easter, July 5, the weekend after Thanksgiving, the weekend after Christmas and generally the day or two after a federal holiday when the banks are closed.
