I have worked shift work in the past and really enjoyed it, though it can be hard on the body at times.
I know exactly what you mean.  I worked at UPS loading trucks for hours.  The place was running 24/7, even on Holidays.  Where did you work?
Wow, that would be busy! And to go 24/7 especially on the Holidays can be tough. I worked at plant called SuperHeat, worked in the office providing information to the techs calling in from around the world, around the clock.
I bet that was tough.  Do you have a lot of technical experience.  I don't, that's why I was busting my bottom to become a truck driver.
I don't either, mostly Administrative background so worked in the control room. It can be hard getting ahead at those kinds of jobs, one step at a time up the ladder.
Yeah, that's the way it is these days.  I got started in it because of the way it was portrayed in the 1950's movies as a life of freedom on the open road...Unfortunately, real life is a little different.  Haha.
Haha that does sound great though, it is a lot harder in the real world. But an open and free job like that sounds great, if only there were more opportunities like that.
I guess hardly anyone gets that, though.  Even doctors have to do shift work, so what hope do the rest of us have?
