Default freakin bored at work (nights)

bored out of my mind. i have recently started bringing my lap top to work with me to kill time. gosh i hate workin nights. i have watched anchorman, pineapple express, 40 year old virgin, and 2 episodes of house.. all tonight since 6:30 pm. the only thing i have done on my 12 hour shift is take samples (15 minutes) 6:00 rounds (20 minutes) and 12:00 rounds (20 minutes) for a whopping grand total of 55 minutes of work. jeez im worn out...lol im ready for long change

welcome to the club! i'm stuck in India for a few more weeks, 10.5 hours ahead of home (michigan) and it's dead on here while i'm awake. as far as work, i only go in 3 days a week for like an hour at a time.

i feel your pain.

I get bored out here too... If I didn't post from my phone half the night I'd go nuts... I'm in the parking lot warming up the truck for the drive home as I post this lol.

I've been trying to get onto the second shift here where I work for several months now, 10 hour shifts m-thursday 3 day weekend AND second shift gets a better pay rate and an extra 20 minute break... It sucks that I'm the only supervisor on the first shift right now or they would let me go nights... oh well...

i was offered a day job last year (ww operator), easiest job in the plant... and i declined it!!! people at work think im stupid for not taking it..lol... i just dont care for a day job right now.... im still young and dont care for it, i enjoy the long changes too much (if im off)..lol... i know to date, if i wanted all i have to do is speak up, i might think of picking that offer up in about 5yrs or so... when my kids get alittle older where i wont have to miss their games (if they are still playing sports)... and stuff....
