Between the Army and last job I had 25 years of shift work, my body loves the banker hours and weekends off.

11-7 for over ten years now. I love it ! Nobody on the roads (I go against traffic), no upper management to deal with, I can be home with the kids during the day, it just works out better all around. Besides I hate getting up early in the mornings !

I've been working 24/7 at being retired for several years. It's very tiring to be retired.
