FP Edit: After reading your comments, I feel bad for some of you. I guess 6am isn't so bad. I just wish I could sleep in every once in a while.
I love my job. I work with CADD programs on the daily. I draw stuff for a living.
IAmTheBob
@OP I lift heavy stuff all day at Lowe's, and I work the good ol' 1-10 or 2-11 night shift. I wouldn't trade it for a cubicle :P

I worked 10am-10pm today, 6am-6pm tomorrow and 6pm-6am the following day and that's just the end of my 6 day week... I'll log about 75 hours

Adulting is the worst
ioiuiuhoihuh
You are allowed to complain about waking up at 6. My first thought was you sound burned out not I worked 123 hours last week (which i did)
THEREAINTNOWEEPININTHISHOME
After 15 years as a cook, I love waking up at 6am for my overpaid office job where everyone thinks I'm a savant for actually doing shit.
SamBed
Holy shit the things i would do for a job with a set schedule that doesnt require heavy labor.
shhep
Would you study? Because that's what people usually do for this kind of job. IT courses are affordable if you know how to google.
SamBed
Straight up full degree. What i lack is 2 to 5 years of experience for the entry level positions everyone wants. Try again.

as a person with depression, I dont understand how people can do this sort of thing. It just makes me wanna die so much
Daeyelle
What do we say to the god of death?
sway85
I actually like my job. So it's not so bad. I just really miss sleeping in till noon as a teenager.
aldhafara
As another person with depression and a night owl, it's really exhausting. I had to do it for my previous job and it was hell.
Rhisereld
Routine is a big part of it - somehow getting up at 6 in the morning was fine when I did it every day. Now? Fuck off I want my sleep.
DrShrinker
Yeah, it sucks, but at least you get to do something you enjoy. Most people don't.
demon256
my last job had me up at 3:30am at the latest. had a 4:02am bus to catch.

I concur.
AngurProne
7pm to 9 am. Mon night through sat am. I hated cubicle work more...

Also CAD can be fun or extremely boring. I drafted fiber optic cables.... offset the road, trim/extend. Send to engineer to finish.

Civil, Survey or Mechanical? I am going on 12 years and 32 as well.

Lagunitas707
Ohhh! We do small pump stations, so I lumped electrical into civil. I am 6am-3pm too
sway85
Nice! I do substations, pump stations, distribution, transmission and mcc/swgr buildings.
LogicalByDesign
Did all of us start right out of highschool? Lol
Lagunitas707
Sorta! I tested out of high school as a junior, was taking 18 units at a college before I turned 18.

Fuck off! At least you have a job
NickBlight
I work 10pm-6:30am. Sympathy denied
sycophant92
You work half an hour longer than me but otherwise I work the same hours but all by myself. It's very nice. I get to watch TV the whole time

Borkaborka
Hey me too. Except all days of the week. Oh and 6am to 6pm sometimes
shhep
I work freelance. Still wake up at 6, because otherwise my life turns into chaos.
Lionskull
10am-6:30pm. I have had plenty of rest, I can give out sympathy if anybody needs some.
ThermoNuke
I work 10 days of 6pm to 6am followed by 10 days of 6am to 6pm. Sympathy throat slit and left to bleed out.

Want. I'm often 8 to 6/9 i Hate endless traffic hell . How do people go to sleep before 1 in morning while typing this comment? 1:03 bed
EvolvedLurker

jeffro7404
7am to 5pm 4days a week with 40 min drive time both ways 7am to 7pm every wednesday and work 8 hrs every other saturday. . . sympathy denied
EmporerDragon
At least you have hours that don't fight a sleep schedule. My schedule goes morning, evening, evening, mid, morning, 2 days off, repeat.
astrangehop
I work 4pm-230 am mon-early morning friday. I love it, but there are so many weeknight events I want to do. Trivia, non-blitzed kareoke...
graveyardshifty
that's physically unhealthy. I was on a similar schedule just getting thrown around until i made that argument
Showmeyourotters
I used to do rotating shifts like that and sometimes would get off at 7am to come back at 3pm. My sleep still sucks but god I don't miss it
EwokDude
I work 3rd shift & have a 3 year old at home (+2 in school), I sleep during the day on Sat/Sun and night Mon/Tues/Wed. Whee!
NickBlight
Yup, no argument there. Having a regular sleep schedule is the most important thing, not when you sleep
Demoux28
I've worked 3 days this week so far. Clocked out today with 36 hours. What's a sleep schedule
Grahamalam
Kirsti1
545pm-6am. But i much prefer nights to days.
DavyR33
8pm-8am...7 nights in a row. Wouldn't trade it for a 9-5 at all.
VanisT
I work 7 to 7, Thursday through Wednesday. That week off is so worth it
DavyR33
Definitely worth it. I'm on Monday through Sunday. Feels good finishing when everyone else is starting.
Demmayyy
Medical field?
shiftypig
I do 7 to 7 too. Either 4 days straight, or one week straight if it is nights. What fields are you in? Science/physics here.
VanisT
I work for Cargill, so Ag/food processing
Sivispacemparabellum
6pm to 6am, then an hour drive home.
Ramocho
330am to 1130am. I'd happily trade hours with you
kattpappan
I enjoyed working nights more than working days. Could do whatever all day, hang out with friends and then work while others slept.
Showmeyourotters
It seems weird but my social life has improved TREMENDOUSLY now that I work overnights rather than evenings.
kattpappan
Right. And if you only work night shifts you get used to sleeping 7~12 during the week so its great.
Showmeyourotters
Well for me I actually sleep around 2/4pm-9 so I ended up making friends with a bunch of morning people. But hey, whatever works right?
letsbakecookies
Any combo of morn (0700-1530), Eve (1430-2300) or night (2245-0715), 10 shifts a fortnight. Shift work sucks.
DadddyWarlord
That's probably the worst time I ever worked. It's depressing and almost made me kill myself. That and being alone when I get home.
StevenFarmer
Amen.
oprahslovechild
I have bartender hours but I like my job so I'll give you like 13% sympathy.
AngryRaven
I would kill to go back to night-shift. 7AM-4PM now, with an hour one way commute.
Acdkatie
3:00 pm-4:00 am Yay for completely fucking our circadian rhythm
sway85
Ouch
Showmeyourotters
11pm-7am here, on the bright side after 22 years of hating mornings, now that they're my evenings I find them lovely.
ManicYEEtPressive
4am-7pm, Sympathy choke-slammed.
BigBeeOhBee
Damner man, I feel ya. Started the 6 am to 10-11 pm here.
sneef
I worked 10pm - 7:30am (6 days a week mandatory) while going to school full time as an engineering student. some days in winter I didn't
BigBeeOhBee
Brings to mind the "you can sleep when your dead" adage.
sneef
See the sun for a while. I lasted 6 months before I had to stop for my own health. I'd sleep all day on my one day off I had each week...
Cannibalshia
10pm to 8 am. 7 days a week! Hahaha Im so tired

What kind of job has such ungodly hours!?
AdOculos
Medical residency
NickBlight
Honestly waking up at 2 or 3 does sound a little worse. Oh and it's 15 hours too! Fuuuun
30Jonseredi
Here hours like this are called "illegal"
StarkeRealm
Welcome to the wonders of, "right to work."

No sympathy for Meth users. Sorry.
AzraelRP

graveyardshifty
as a graveyarder, i have no sympathy when my employees tell me they only slept 4 or 5 hours.
cheeseguy3412
GIMME, I hate working 6:00AM - 3:00PM, I naturally start waking up at 9:00 PM
SheepDog0327
The question is; what have you been doing since you've been of working age that required any other time to wake up? Just wondering.
Bloodthirstykirby
I bartended until I was 25, most fun I've had working. Too bad the hours weren't sustainable for other life things going on (5pm-3am).
shhep
Freelance? Working later shifts?
sway85
I worked retail for 10 years. Hours sucked, pay sucked, customers sucked. Went back to school, got a degree and got a job with a $40k raise.
TheJuith
hourly pay when I'm on hour 14 and I remember I'm salary. Hooray adulthood!
TheJuith
It's so weird how the blackhole of retail can pull you back for so long. Got out 5 years ago and never looking back. I do miss hourly (1/?)
sway85
Lucky for me I still get paid hourly.
koitk
what programs are you using?
sway85
AutoCAD, Inventor, MicroStation

I'm working in small company but I enjoy that I can do CAD but also use machines and do some welding etc. Use brain and hands too.
sway85
Nice! I'm jealous.
DimondDan
Don't ever have kids.
Aibell125
My toddler still gets up 3-10x a night. I miss sleeping...
bizzyann
Whoever downvoted you must not be a parent... I miss it too!
Aibell125
I think a lot of Imgurians think bc I chose to have a baby I shouldn't complain
bizzyann
Well, fuck that noise. They'll learn. Just because we chose it and are happy with our choice doesn't mean we can't also be exhausted. <3
Aibell125
Right?? Those mamas that are all 'omg my baby is a gift from heaven' are super f-ing annoying.
NeverEverWrong
I don't think I've slept past 6:30am in the 2 years of my kids existence
trymeh
Condescending af. People put having kids at the top of the totem pole. Not that hard tbh
Contrarianpov
Unless you want to. Then definitely have kids.
agluuo
Not sure that's a good enough reason to ruin your life
mofreckle
Even then give it a second thought
Sholan
I have 2 and a stepchild...seriously, think about it. It's both the greatest and worst choice of your life
mofreckle
There's.. so... much... money... I want kids but I don't want to give up spending 500+ a month on take away and toys
agluuo
Money would be the least of my concerns - all the time you lose out on, it ends up being very difficult to have time to yourself or go out.
PolishPancakeWithCanadianMapleSyrup
I had a kid at 20. Now my son is 14 and I feel like I have my life back again. It's a catch 22 on either end.
mofreckle
I know right, I barely have time to do nothing as it is
Theydontknowthatweknowtheyknowweknow
Very difficult = just aint gonna happen. I cant even pee alone anymore. 4 kids for sale. Going cheap.

You don't know the value of them young healthy organs
