Well Around 3 months ago I took on a new position here at work. I used to work in a Customer Service office and I came to the Production plant at my company. I used to work 8am-4:30pm Mon-Fri. Gave me great ability to have a nice social life and all that. Was not making all that great of money and with my TA gas and repairs were getting a little hard. Plus I have about $5k in credit card debt. I just turned 22. Single
SO I got this new position as a lead on the Shipping docks. Starts off on Mondays and ends Saterday mornings. 6pm-around 5am every day. So pretty much I have no night life anymore. I have no social life since everyone is working when Im off work. I have not been dating at all. NOTHING
Its been 3 months since I have been working nights. Its very hard labor. I didnt really get any raise when I went to nights. The only diff. was the amount of hours I was putting in. Total is about $150 extra a week for about 10-15 hours extra a week.
So recently I started talking to someone. Someone I was interested for years but we never went for it. Im getting older I feel And I want to calm down on being with so many different people (LA makes it easy to get carried away!! ) and somewhat settle down a bit.
So I have been doing a lot of thinking and I realized that there has not really been one single night that I have gone home and I was Some what happy or anything. About 90% of the time Im so tired and/or upset that we are getting out so late. Plain and simple working nights are depressing.
The only thing I can think of is try and get my old position back or apply somewhere else. If I ask for my old position back I feel pathetic doing so but to be frank, Working nights is just not for me. Any opinions positive or negative I would really be thankful. My job has put a strain on my friendship with friends so I cant even talk to them and Since I know a lot of you, I figured I talk to you.
ok ill shut up.
