    I used to work a graveyard shift from 11pm to 6am. The first wave of morning workers were typically tradies in hi-viz, driving bright white vans. I used to think of them as a glowing army sent to scare off the walking dead clubbers who were still stumbling around.

        I used to work a shift that was 7pm-7am Thursday and Friday, then 11pm-7am Saturday and Sunday. I miss night shift.

        When I switched from that job to one that was (IIRC) 7am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, it was a challenging week.

        edit: actually I think it was 6am to 4pm. I don’t exactly remember how the change went. I just remember developing a dependency on energy drinks and apologizing to my mentor for being sleepy.

        It was more like 2230-0630 because of overlapping handover, but that’s when I was officially on duty.
