I'm not going to be able to keep this job

[Anonymous 1]

I work through a temporary service. They did put me at a place that can go full time after 3 months. The problem Is. On the application I put I wanted first or 2nd shift. But all the offered me was a 3rd shift job. I took it because I needed a job badly. It has been a week and i can't hack 3rd shift. Plus they are working 6 nights a week. This shit is killing me. My dh works 2nd so I never see him because I am asleep when he is home. After I get off in the morning I'm calling them to see if they have another shift available because I can't do this. My sleep schedule is off. I can't get full sleep because during the day I can only sleep in short spurts like 2 hrs here and there. I know if I stay on this shift I wont last a month. I'll eventually quit.

That sounds awful, I hope they can find you a different shift.

You sound like a baby. I work 26 hour call shifts often and I never complain. It isn't that hard to just show up to work and do your job.

We are two different people. I do show up and do my job. Some people like graveyard shift and can do it and some can't and that Is ok

Do you need the job?

Yes I do but I also need sleep to function and I can already see it wearing me down

Get some blackout curtains and earplugs and it will help. It is an adjustment, it takes a while to move your sleep schedule, but you will adjust over time. I'm not saying I think you should do it for the long run, but I wouldn't quit this job until you find another one if you need the job.

I'm sure after Christmas I'll be able to find another job.
