FoxyRoadster Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I don't have two days off in a row and are just curious at who else works split days off. I hate doing it myself but only shift available. Makes working on shit hard sometimes though. Quote Link to comment
SRSANDS Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I worked split days off for four years. I hated it. Usually I had Wed and Thursday off. Te only good thing I enjoyed about it is I had full days to work in the garage.....with no wife but it still sucked :) Quote Link to comment
exit64 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I had this job where you worked a late, middle and then early shift on consecutive days and then had a day off. Pretty cool to have almost two full days off every fourth day. We ran that schedule from May to October every year. I would get lots of fishing and camping in during those months.

Dirk Diggler Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I worked for Ernie Ball for a few years after school doing the electronics and testing on their instruments. We did 10 hour days, M-Th and had F-Sunday off. I miss those hours. I did split days off for a while and hated it, now I just do M-F Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Been working split days off for something like 9 years on and off. Most of 5 of those years the days off were spent at school. If I don't have school I take the days off together. And it's four 10 hour days. So three days off :) Used to work three 12s. That was cool for about 6 months, then it got tiring (3 of 4 days off spent at school). Im ready to retire or win the lotto. Quote Link to comment

808DA6 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Rolling up on 7yrs on 12hr night shift. Sun Mon Tues and everyother Sat 7P-7A. It has its moments. I hate having to work Saturdays.....especially during good weather. One great thing, if I take 3 days off of work, I get 10 consecutive days off. -B (gowning flame retardant suit) Quote Link to comment
