In the 1980's I worked swing shift for a few years, my son was young then so that hurt but I liked being able to roll up my sleeves and get things done and also do crappy jobs no one on day shift would ever do plus I could play the radio and no one complained .

I also got a lot of " G-JOBS " done in between ~ as long as you to your assigned work no one really cares what else goes on .

Sometimes we'd have a root beer float party on payday when we had a 45 minute lunch period .

My last 5 ~ 6 years on the job they were worried I'd make a stink about a co worker caught embezzling, I'd mentioned it to the supervisor who hassled me then swept it under the rug ~ when the police raided the shop all but -one- employee was questioned (? guess who ?) and shortly thereafter I was transferred downtown where they soon "punished'' me by putting me in a corner in the basement where i could work all I wanted and only talk to others when I wanted .

Point being : like most things in life, it is what you make of it .
