    I agree, there does seem to be alot of women working the night shift. Must be because we are all so awesome. :smile: I dont have any official big plans, I went to a wedding last weekend but fortunately the food wasnt that great so I didnt over do it. This weekend I might go to an apple orchard and then go crazy baking but fortunately Im not a huge sweets eater so I will just plump up the people I work with next week and they will love me for it!

    I'm working tonight thru fri night.. then right into a busy but fun-filled weekend. sat morning some friends and i are going to Six Flags, so I'll be wired on some red bull on the ride down i'm sure..then on sunday a bunch of us are going to a corn maze! last time i went it took about 3 hours to get out, so at least there's a bit of exercise, even at a very slow pace lol.

    Do your signifigant others ever get mad because of your shift? I have been in tons of arguments over it, because I always get stuck on holidays too...he just doesnt get it sometimes.

    Im leaving early tonight...because I have to go to a wedding in NY....WAAAYYY out East in LI. Anyway, we are taking the 930 bus up...then a train...then a rehersal dinner. Sleep? um...on the bus!! An example of how this shift can totally screw up your social life!!

    Sometimes he just doesn't understand! Like when i need some sleep but he thinks he should come in and talk to be about nothing! He thinks 2-3 hours a day should be enough sleep! He gets mad when in interfers with something he wants to do but he likes the shift diff. Enjoy the wedding!

    When my husband was on the same shift it was great, he at least understood that I needed to sleep. Now that he is on days he has completely forgot how it is.
    When I get up don't try and have a conversation with me till I have been up for at least a half hour otherwise I just don't care.
    I have been trying to adjust my sleep so that I am up before work so that we can have sometime together.

    I met my short term goal of losing 10 pounds....It took me 6 weeks...but I am happy that I am doing it the right way...I have a new workout regime that I started yesterday...so 3 days a week of weight/strength training and 6 days of cardio(according to my trainer)...he feels that I need to increase my cardio..that's the part that can be very hard as a night shift person.... .I gave myself 5 days of working out because I work every saturday and sunday plus tuesday night (12 hour shift) ...but I don't like to even leave my house on saturdays knowing that I have to work on that night (although it doesn't bother me to workout on tues) Go Figure.....this is always the hard part for me....but I feel so GOOD...but SORE....after I work out....
