I've grown accustomed to being unbothered w/management. Should I add one more night shift or do a day instead?

[DreamLife7]

So, I'd like to pick up some extra hours for some extra cash. I don't want to work hard I rather work smart by being unbothered. Night shift, I'm completely unbothered with management, patient families, doctor appointments, and annoying co-workers, yet some social interaction at work would be nice here and there. Nights I feel I can work and go the hell home, yet the day shift is a bit "normal." Thoughts?

Current schedule
Sat (16hrs)/Sun (16hrs)

If I add a night, it will be:

Sat (16 hrs)/ sun (16hrs)/ mon (8hrs)

If I add a day instead of a night, it will be:

Permanent schedule - Sat (16hrs)/ Sun (16hrs)
Fill in as needed day shift anytime during the week that imm available. No commitment required , I just pick up when I want extra cash.

I hate night shift work, especially overnight. so I'd go against it. But if it's something you enjoy of course go for it. I'd also look into passive investments, REITs, dividend stocks, or real easy right now countless FDIC insured banks are giving 5 percent interest. Easy money.

I'd say... alternate, mix it up while you can...

that way you will not feel fed up with either option

That's what I'm thinking, too. That's a good idea to have variety here and there

Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but if you only work 2 days a week, what do you do with the rest of. your free time?

[DreamLife7]

I don't mind, I'm actually surprised no one else asked 🤣🤷🏽‍♀️. Mainly self care stuff. Gym, spa, morning Starbucks, journal, meet up groups, pick up an additional shift here and there (not permanent just fill in) extra cash, future planning, spend time with fur babies, college course (online), donate.

Damn I'm jealous. I usually work 50-60 hour weeks as an engineer.

[DreamLife7]

I used to do that, but it burnt me out, any I missed out on life.

[PessicaJeter]

It definitely gets tiring, sometimes to the point of me needing to take a nap as soon as I get home. But in my case, the pay more than makes up for it since I'm my company's lead material specialist, despite my age.

[DreamLife7]

Yeah but when do you have time to enjoy life?

[PessicaJeter]

After work, the weekends and Friday nights lol.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Damn you work a lot of hours

[DreamLife7]

Not really, I only work 32 hours a week two days a week and off 5 days

[DreamLife7]

The average individual works 40-60 hrs per week

[Bklynbadboy12]

That's true but that 16 straight is crazy

[DreamLife7]

Yeah most people don't like it but I love it. I guess because I do 7a-3pm then return back to work at 11pm -3pm then return that night at 11pm then done. I just love that I work 2 days

[Bklynbadboy12]

Okay cool that would kill me and I work way me hours than you do but I work from 5 am to 5 pm 5 days a week

[DreamLife7]

😆😆 see for me I work in a home. The family tells me to sleep and set my alarm for every 2 hrs to wake me up and check on him.

[DreamLife7]

So basically I sleep at night
