Traffic is er was: That's why no-one wants to finish at 2300 on the last day and start at 0500 on the 1st, as you admitted
No. What I said was that it makes overtime even less pleasant.
And do you think the managers were thrilled with that prospect?

Traffic is er was: I used to get a couple of hours sleep before the doggo, so I wasn't working "all night". Maybe you should try it.


you seem to ignore that fact that I have to work in the morning before the night shift. If I do manage to get a few hours sleep, even 4 say, by the time I finish the night shift, I've had 4 hours sleep in the last 24 or 25 hours. I certainly feel like I've been awake all night after that.

And I use my "3 and 1/2 days off" (as you put it) to catch up on my sleep and see my family, and try to meet my other commitments out side of work.

In your "wisdom", could you tell me how I can do that if the overtime was to become compulsory?
