  • The peaceful silence, the beauty of the stars, and no people who annoy. All that and it even pays more. The Night Shift just sounds perfect for the Doomer so he has to try it.
    For the Doomer the night feels like time stays still.

    The best shifts are the quiet shifts. People complain that times goes by slower but I prefer that if that time is spent with my own thoughts rather than preoccupied with some boring menial work and unable to think.

      @@Tatusiek_1 Short version: By not buying shit you don't need, with money you don't have, to impress people you don't even like.
      But seriously, the trick is minimalism and self control. Reduce your expenses, save your money, invest in slow but safe time-tested financial instruments (none of this get rich quick bullshit, or stuff you don't understand like crypto). Pick something you know (like consumer staples for example. You know what it is and it's not going anywhere. The world existed before crypto and can exist if it suddenly stops, but you literally can't exist without staples), large cap portfolio with a 7~10% yield, and maybe up to a fifth of your money in something a bit more risky (like a mid-cap with up to 3,3% monthly yield). All of it passive income, nothing active that you have to do yourself (like god-forbid FOREX or something) because you have to yet to start learning what it is and that will cost both time (in learning it) and resources (in the failure during the learning curve), and it still has no guarantee of success at the end. Just keep doing what you know, what you're already good at, save the money, consult an expert from an actual financial firm and wait. In 6 years your initial money alone will quadruple (in addition to the money you will continuously add) and you didn't have to reinvent the wheel nor be a super genius or super lucky. The instruments are already in place, you just need the self control to save the money instead of spend it, be patient, not panic sell when it goes down in the short term (it will happen, but keep your eyes on the end goal) and not get greedy when you see the larger income from the midcap and put all the money in the risky stuff.

It would be so cold out, you couldn't tell how much smoke was coming out when you exhaled from your cigarette. It would be dead quiet because the stores were surrounded by forest. I would actually close my store down at 10pm with a chain and lock, get a call from the delivery guys when they were on their way, and come back to the store late at night all by myself to check them in and stock. Some days it would snow, too. When I covered for other stores, it was super slow at night just like this and the ambience is something else.

      I made the mistake of working at Chick-fil-A as a morning shift fry cook. You’re groggy as hell, in a damn race to do everything perfectly so that you can be ready for the first customer. Then you’re just praying you don’t mess anything up. Make sure you’re not pre-breading the chicken so when 15+ people show up all at once, you can get it to them on time. Then the under manager comes in! Such little power, such massive ego. It’s time for lunch - and the rush is underway, but I’m already gassed from opening. Hurry, fire up EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. Now its a sprint- Beepers going off at the same time for every kind of chicken. Running around in every direction until I’m relieved by the next fry cook. My job is now to butter bread and place pickles. Sounds chill right? Wrong. The Manager now wants us to set a record on how fast we serve. How does this benefit us as employees? It doesn’t. Anyways Im slinging bread around until the end of the lunch rush. The end is almost in sight.
      Shift ends. I didn’t get my lunch break but whatever- the lunch almost makes it worse. All I have to think about at lunch is “Shit I have ten minutes until I return to that hell”. On top of that it reminds me of how cheap my corporate bosses are to bust my ass from the break of dawn but all they can cover for my lunch is a chicken sandwich and fries. Dont take any of the millions of nuggets that get tossed- that would be stealing. I eventually quit. Not long after the entire kitchen walked out.

      The doomer is not antisocial, he's just lonely because he hasn't find his role in life and he doesn't fit in. There is more than one factor for one to end up like this in his 20's, 30's or 40's. But it seems it affects millennials the most. And also most of these doomers seem to have no siblings and raised by an overprotective mother.

The bright sun hitting your face after an extremely long night was horrid. Being full time nocturnal also meant I couldn't hang out with anyone, but at that time I had no friends so I thought it didn't matter (it does). You can only take that for so long. If your shift ends before the sun comes up, you'll be fine.

    Working night shift is perfect for introverts and socially anxious people, I work as a security guard in a condominium and everyday I get to interact to 4 people or 6 then at 12 am it becomes a ghost town, I watch programming tutorials, youtube, netflix or play on my Nintendo switch while on the job.

    One nice part about the night shift is when you go back home by public transport and see all the tired, jaded faces of morning workers.
    Those same workers are the ones using the ''I'm fine I'm just tired'' liner when asked how are they at work.
    And to this day, I still don't know anybody who feels rested when working morning shifts.

    I just turned down a pretty good job because it was overnight. Don’t get me wrong I love staying up late. I usually go to sleep anywhere from 1-5am. But having to sleep from roughly 9/10am-6/7pm sounds horrible

      It is. I worked nights for about 3 years. It seems cool at first, but then your social life slowly disappears, hard to get a gf . You are always up at 1am on your nights off with nothing to do and it gets really depressing after a while. I eventually quit and got a job that started at 7am for $2 less an hour and didn't mind it. Lesson for me was life is too short to sleep all day and just be home alone all night as the Years pass.

      @@roddywhittemore493 Thats why overnight jobs pay a lot more, because you are basically spending your life working for a company, wasting countless hours, and waking up at 6 pm to go stock shelves hastily for hours on end, but you get used to the sleeping all day part. If you have nothing to lose and just want peace and to be alone then overnight jobs are perfect for you.

      @@Gyokan7 Pretty comfy! It is true, early and late shift don't do shit so we at the night shift have more stuff to do but a lot less customers, so it doesn't really get boring. Night shift workers as our gas station are basically "the elite". We know everything, can fix everything, improve stuff constantly because we have so much more time with lacking customers at night.
      Usually we are 2 people per night shift, during holiday seasons 3-4. During winter sometimes we are doing solo night shifts because customers can be as far apart as 30 minutes. I once had 1.5 hours without any customer.

    I used to work night shifts for about a year. It was bittersweet man! I loved it and hated it at the same time. Loved it because I could do whatever I wanted to during the whole shift. I loved seeing nighttime transform into daytime. I also liked going to work in the middle of the night, it felt like I was going to the club even though I was going to work. But I HATED the fact that I was so tired and sleepy all the time. I also hated the fact that I started feeling jealous of people who didn't work night shifts. There were even days when I would shout, "Why me?" And I would be forced to sleep during the daytime which wasn't that great anyways.

    So true. So many colleagues actively seek roles where they'll be busy with meaningless tasks and will become stressed if they have dead time. Same thing when they strenuously defend free time in weekends and holidays like their lives depend on them and complain that they "have to stay at home" if they are free on weekdays

    I used to work in a fuel station. It had a mini Subway inside and that was my gig, I used to work mid shift and from 5/6pm to 10 it would be completely dead. So this video was basically my life for about 8 years. We wasn't allowed to smoke inside so I used to pin open the back door with a mop and then I would sit on top of the car wash smoking Marlboro gold, watching the cars drive past on the road as the sky went through the oranges and pinks as the evening drew to a conclusion. In the backroom was a blind spot for the cameras so I used to take a few large cups from the Costa coffee machine and then sneak in vodka and whisky in a back pack and make a few whisky-cokes or just drink it neat, then I would put on my Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings mix and just kick back and relax as much as you could expect a 20 yeard old with no hopes of a future could do. Occasionally I would help myself to coffee or go into the freezer and take ice cream and not pay. I thought to myself that I might as well take advantage of the situation as much as I could so that's what i did...smoke, drink and think as the world around me was stuck in a loop, in many ways, just as myself. Over the years there was 2 girls that I used to drool over, gorgeous hourglass figures and faces like angels and as they came and went I used to think about their lives. At times I often felt like Rod Taylor in the Time Machine looking at the mannequin in the shop window.
    If any of you ever get a chance to find a quiet job, do it. There's a certain feeling to it that you won't find do anything else

    I worked night shift at Walmart stocking shelves, it's only tiring if day shift hasn't done a lot of work, but otherwise it's very relaxed straightforward and let's you zone out with your thoughts. Our manager were pretty lenient and elt everybody have wireless headphones if only one bud was in. I listened to the Count of Monte Cristo from cover to cover while working that job. Barely remember any of the shifts cause in my head I was swimming free from the Chateau D'if alongside Edmond Dantes. Best book I ever read and eventually gave me the motivation to quit that dead end job and pursue my dreams. I'm living outside the states now, making a living teaching guitar online. Gonna have to make a shift to something else soon. But got as short lived as it was I'm happy I took the risk and left the country when I could.
