Morning shift.

Because I can't be productive during the day unless I'm at work.

I would prefer a 9-6, as then I'd have *some* time to do things in the evening. Plus, I'm like marsavalanche in that if I'm not working, I won't really do anything during the day.

9-6. More productive, though mornings off are good for getting stuff done like going to the bank and such. I like my new schedule, 11-6. Very Happy

^^^^^^^

That's nice! Very Happy

I like the morning/afternoon shift too. Nights was great in my early 20's...but now I place more value on being productive than hanging out late at night and sleeping in late.

I'm producing care for my pregnant wife, producing knowledge of the Korean language, producing assistance for the in-laws in learning the English language, etc...

Definitely 9-6 p.m. Damn, I had 9-7:30 each day, I wish I was able to get off at 6!! Working 2-10 would probably suck. I wouldn't even want to go out to drink after getting off at that time. Plus, I would be very lazy if I didn't have to work until 2 each day. At least working until 6 or so I would be motivated to go to the gym afterwards.

I prefer my 3:45-9pm shift on m/w/f and 3:30-7:10 shift on tues/thurs.

I can do loads during the morning / afternoon and I can still do a lot in the evenings too.

Doesn't work does it. How about 'accommodating' and 'alert'?

Well, I feel like I'm getting my jobs and responsibilities done. Not sure what your point is... Rolling Eyes

Let me be more clear. I am able to produce more positive results for my family, employment, finances and health working during the day as opposed to evenings and nights. So yes. I am more productive. Makes sense now?

I would choose 2 to 10 because it is 8 hours as opposed to 9.

No, cause that time off gets deducted from your vacation. Laughing
