Only thing that sucks about that schedule is night shift...
Yup. I do nights, but I schedule them together. I have to do 6 12hr shifts every two weeks. So i work Wednesday night through Tuesday morning, with a week off afterwards. If I got things to do, got a week off to do em. If not, picking up some overtime when you've got a week to spare ain't so hard.
Biggest downside to me (other than nights) is that I have only maybe 3 hours of awake time outside of work. So I don't do anything except work and sleep. Usually go home, eat, grab a beer or two, and head to the garage with a cigar. I'll pay bills or mess with stocks, or watch Netflix or just screw around online but rarely do anything productive.
Helps that I'm an irregular sleeper anyways, so I just sleep when tired no matter time of day. Hurts me when I'm off and trying to be on a schedule of awake during the day and sleep at night. Usually end up taking a nap around 6p, and don't go to bed till 2-3a and then sleep till 9-10.
