Up until this September, for the last 12 years, I have worked 2 24 hour shifts a week, with some OT sprinkled in, when I wanted to work it. This year from September 12 through the new year, I have to work 7-3 5 days a week with a 1 hour commute each way. It is killing me. Between work, wife, and kids I barely get out at all and when I do it is for a quick couple of hours in the evening, or a day on the weekend. I hate weekends, too many people. I don't know how you 9-5ers get through life. I did it long ago but certainly don't miss it.
