The new guy who started at my work is now leaving so that means me and my manager are going to have to go back onto double shifts.

Basically I will be working Monday and Tuesday days, Wednesday and Thursday nights and Friday from 12 noon. Then every alternate Saturday.

I wish test centers near me were open on a Saturday.

We are recruiting for a replacement but obviously the replacement will need training, so my new shifts are provisionally for 3 months.

I'll just keep studying then.

 

Yep by 23% and double pay on a Saturday. Plus I am getting a £400 bonus for my trouble.

It just sucks as I planning on taking the exam soon.

 

That's a punishing shift pattern

 

Yep it is, I have done it before for about 6 months so I am a bit used to it.

 

Thats to bad mate, well at least you can review a little more. Btw when where you planning on sitting the N+?

 

I could never get more than a bit used to rotating shifts, its always hard.

 

I'll have to sit it after this new shift pattern ends, I did want to do in about 2 weeks but it's not going to be possible now.

I prefer night shift, rotating shifts are annoying but once you have dome them for a while you can do them. Although you do look knackered all of the time.

 

I worked nights in a job a few years back, loved it. Done my share of rotating shifts, your right, you always look knackered. Its a shame you have to put off your exam, is there no way you can fit it in on a Friday morning first thing? Be good it you could while everything is fresh in your mind.

 

Not when my nearest test center is 54 miles away in one direction and my work is 18.9 miles in the other. I would be pushing it as I am supposed to start at 12noon on a friday and finish at 4am on the Thursday.

 

It would help

 

I guess i am rather lucky getting the chance to do these part time at college for free i would hate to have to jump though as many hoops as everyone else.

 

I wish I was your age again so I didn't have work and family to juggle my studying around.

 

You can always hand over the extra dosh to a TP !

 

Don't even wanna think about that !

 

As if I would do a thing like that. The money will go on my new build, just means I'll have it a month earlier than planned

 

bad luck on your exam, still does give you more tim4e to study and get a higher mark, I hope there is at least 10 hours between the thrusday and friday shift as per the working time regulations!

 

its actually supposed to be 11 hours but no there isn't goingt to be that. I will be finishing at 4am friday and back in at 12 although some thursdays I amy get away at 2am

 

Ouch doing extra shifts thats not easy, but as TheProf said at least you get a bit more money!

Is there any rush to do the N+ exam mate?
