I have a particularly strange schedule, and I bet some of you do too. Tell me about yours! I’m on a 28 day rotational shift (dupont modified). All shifts on are 12 hours with half being am-pm and half being pm-am. Of those 28 days, I work 14, the other 14 are off, 7 days in a row every rotation as well. I love it but the days can be long sometimes.

    I work a 2 week rotating schedule. 6 nights on/8 night weekend. My 6 days are all in a row, Thursday - Tuesday. I work 2 - 16 hour shifts and 4 - 12 hour shifts which gives me 40 hours in 3 days and 80 hours in 6 days for my 2 week work week. I can pick up 2 16 hour shifts on my “weekend”, get 32 hours of OT, and still have 6 days off. It’s exhausting but I love it. When I’m really short money I’ve worked as many as 7 of my days off and really killed the OT. The downside is that when I work 16 hour shifts I only have time for about 3-4 hours of sleep between shifts what with commuting and showering and eating and getting ready for work and all so it can sometimes be brutal if I pick up too many back to back (I’ve done 3 or 4 in a row and by the end I just want to die).
