Posted: 3/1/2009 10:43:45 PM | I'm gonna resurrect this topic for my sake, even though it hasn't been touched in years. I've worked shift work for 24 consecutive years. I'll be the first to admit that it definitely puts a major damper on ones social life. It also places a marked strain on relationships.
However, as someone else here commented, I do have lots of vacation time to take off during the year which sorta makes up for the week-to-week socialization deficiencies.
In my case I simply put aside enough resources to go to my favourite vacation destination yearly.
But nonetheless, it sure would be nice to meet someone who understands the plight of a shift worker. | |

Posted: 3/1/2009 10:50:29 PM | so I work night shift 11pm to 7am. The only way me and mine get around it is when I come home I get to bed asap, so I'm up by 4pm inwhich I have the rest of my time.
I guess we both learned to juggle each others schedules in order to make sometime. We try to make time at least everyday even if its only 15-20mins together somedays. We're just thankful for at least being able to have that time. All about appreciating and using the time you do have and not lamenting or worrying too much about the time lost. | |

Posted: 3/2/2009 9:33:07 AM | | Our shifts are 10-12 hours long, often 7 days a week. A lot of the young guys at work complain about how difficult it is to try to date or have a relationship working those kind of hours. It is hard on established relationships and practically impossible to try to begin one. I just hope I don't have to do this forever. My advice simply has been to try to find someone who either works the same hours or who has and understands. Sigh, I have been off for a while but will soon be back to it. Bye social life. | |

Posted: 3/2/2009 1:12:25 PM | | I work nights midnight to 8am. I will meet people earlier in the evenings when I work or on the weekends. Also coffee dates dont take too long and if he is not what he says he is there is always "time to go I have to go to work". | |
