The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[GAVol]

I'd go insane working nights. I don't even like to talk before 9am.

Was on nights for 3 1/2 years then moved to days after the birth of my son (7 months now ) huge difference but love being on a normal sleep schedule and spending the evening after work with the fam.

That's what I'm looking forward to the most. Having a normal sleep schedule, a "normal" life and social life now.

Some nights are nice and some completely suck. Especially charting my notes and staying awake at 4am.

Worked 8pm-8am for 4.5 years. My body now produces too much adrenaline on occasion. It would do so in the past where I was so exhausted to keep me going and now it’s irregular. It’s under control for the most part but it sends me into similar symptoms of a panic attack. I wish nights on no one.

Dammit I remember when you took that job and it doesn’t seem that long ago

It doesn’t to me either.

The trick is to not have a social life lol

Its certainly easier when you dont have a wife or kids to worry about. I actually like night shift okay, but it would be a complete pain with a family at home.

Working night shift, especially if you have to work weekends, makes a social life non-existent. I love working nights, but I hate the social life aspect, or lack thereof.

With Donaldson back in the fold, we stood a very small chance of winning the WS. Now there's no chance.

None

The Astros are going to be taking more fastballs right down the middle than Josh Donaldson

Really- what will happen to Bregs and Altuve? Can you legitimately prove that they were using a buzzer?

I think mlb already said there was no proof?

Ok I probably missed that. So nothing will happen even though everyone knows it happened. They’re gonna get ear holed like crazy.

My cousin worked a 6 week day/night schedule. Every 6 weeks it flipped. He never knew if he was coming or going most of the time.

I worked night shift about 4 months and felt like I was constantly out of the loop with my family (I was 21). I hated it and trying to sleep during the day (like an actual 8 hours) was a bitch.

I could not imagine doing the every six weeks flip situation. I’d kill myself

Yeah that ain’t worth it. Even if it paid well, that schedule would drain all of one’s happiness

lol dudgers

He was miserable. It was Nissan’s battery plant.

Imagine working days and nights at the same time - boom private equity

I can only imagine how unhealthy it must be for the body as well
