Oh, How I Hate to Get Up In the Morning!
Do any of you have jobs that require you to work really early shifts? If so, are you OK with that, or is it a pain?
I'm a night person, so getting up at 7:00AM (which I gotta do) is a pain for me!

I used to have to get up at 6.15 to get the 7am bus, and then got home at 7.30 in the evening.
Im a night person as well, so i feel your pain. I found it was seasonal - the darker it gets in the morning, the more difficult i found it to get up.
You do get the smug satisfaction of being up and about at early-oclock, but id have swapped that for being in bed

Yup yup. Mornings are the bane of my existance, and have only become worse since I started having to get my non-morning-person daughter dressed and coherent as well as myself. On an on-schedule morning I get up at 6:30 to be at work for 7:30. On a bad day I drag myself out of bed just in time to realize that we aren't going to make the 7:10 van and will be lucky to catch the 7:20 before it leaves without us...

I used to be a night person, until I got this job. I have to get up between 4:00 & 4:30 am, get on a train at 5:30, and I still don't get to work until 7:00 am. I get home from work about 5:30pm, and go to bed at 9:00p now  But I still get to stay up late on the weekends.

Nocturnal here as well. As a very wise cat once said, I'd enjoy mornings more if they started later in the day.

I've found that if I have to be a morning person, I become less of a night person. Unless I'm chatting with someone 2 time-zones away, then I just suffer with lack of sleep.
I'd actually prefer to have an early shift where I start at 7. Then I'd get done at 3... take a nap for about an hour, then I have 5-6 hours to goof around and it's still light out!

My regular shift is 5:00a to 2:00p with an occasional 4:00a to 1:00p shift thrown in for variety. So I usually have to get up between 2:50 a.m. and 3:50 a.m. One of the reasons I'm quitting my current job...
I'm not a night owl, but I'm not a get-up-at-the-crack-of-dawn person either.

Jeeze! If I had your job, I'd just stay up all night, and go to bed after I got home!

Work starts at 8am, but I like to get up and make my gf breakfast so we can eat together before I leave. I'm not a morning person so it's kinda hard getting up, but the money makes us all do it.
