well there are two shifts since they work 12 hours, days and nights. And they don't move people from one shift to the other
unless they get assigned to a different shift so until she officially gets another assigned shift she is on nights, 6pm to 6 am.
And this week she works Monday and Tuesday, off Wed and Thur, then works Fri, Sat, and Sunday.
Yes Ma'am she is doing very well and she's the type who can never stay up late even, like by 8 o'clock on a normal schedule she is falling asleep. But she is handling it fine but the only problem is, she sleeps off and on all day on her days off and doesn't get anything done.
Like if she sits down on the couch she'll fall right to sleep much of the time. Other people on her shift tell her the same thing, that basically all they do is sleep!
So that's the problem and it frustrates her but she will get back on days at some point and there are openings coming up because at least one person on days is leaving the job, so we'll see if it opens up for her.
That would be so hard. I can't even imagine it. The best part for me about being retired is being able to listen to my own clock, and not having to follow a schedule set for me by appointments or any other person.
I agree. What shift is mrs. J working this week?

Killer hours. But she copes with it OK, right?

yes very true, that way you can follow your own natural rythm even if that means 5 hours of sleep per night!
And a nap in the afternoon if I feel the need!
