I work 2 days 2 nights then 4 off 12 hour shifts driving forklifts and trucks around a refinery. I love having the 4 days off after only working 4, don't have access to a computer to get on the forums though :(

Night shift is the best time to work.
Nobody looking over your shoulder or hassling you to get on with it.

The joy of night shift in most places. Unlike the average job, watching a DVD still technically counts as working.
If only procrastinating on AFF counted as studying.
