i had a pleasant surprise when i started this job. i'm doing
shift work and to most ppl, it's a taboo sort of job. something
which most ppl would avoid.
but, the pleasant surprise came when i realized that doing shift
work has somewhat less pressure. why? cause when you leave your
shift, your teammates (assuming you've got good teammates) would
pick up where you left off.
by the time you come back to work the next day, most things have
been followed up upon, and probably awaiting feedback from other
parties.
as long as, you're used to the shift times, then the problem is
gone. but, i guess i'm also lucky cause i don't need to do the
night shift. it's covered by some guys from the US, and they have
no problems with that, cause our night is their day
enuff about me ..... next !!
