Since school has fired back up I'm 7:20-3:05 but I still work an evening job at a pool store so that eats many evenings until 8:00 pm. If not there I'm doing a job for my pool business. Never know when this will end. Winter hours are what's listed in the first sentence though and I'm off on weekends once the polls close up.

Well in the 25 years as a Tropper I worked the following shifts. 
0500-1300
0600-1400
0700-1500
0800-1600
1200-2000
1300-2100
1400-2200
1500-2300
1600-2400
1800-0200
2230-0630
2300-0700

The worst was going into a set of ten midnight shits. We would work 1500-2300 on Tuesday, into a 0600-1400 Wed morning. Go get several hours of sleep and be back out Wed night at 2300.

Glad that is over...

Mine might be the most confusing. 2 seven day shift, followed by a 5, followed by a 4, it goes like this

Start my rotation:
1st week Night shift
Wednesday night to the next Wednesday morning 3rd shift
2245-0645 Wednesday and Thursday nights
2245-0900 Friday night
2045-0900 Saturday night
2045-0645 Sunday night
2245-0645 Monday and Tuesday nights
Off Wednesday and Thursday

2nd Week Evening shift
1500-2300 Friday
0845-2100 Saturday
0845-2100 Sunday
1500-2300 Monday thru Thursday
Off Friday, Saturday and Sunday

3rd Week
0630-1515 Monday thru Friday
Off Saturday and Sunday

4th week
I can work whatever I want
I usually work
0630-1630 Monday thru Thursday
Off Friday thru Wednesday and start the rotation over the next Wednesday.

I sometimes get sick of working the weekends but days off thru the week come in handy and it's especially nice to take a week of vacation in the 4th week and be off for 13 days and even better to take off the 2 day shifts, use 80 hours vacation, and be off for 20 days.

We use to work 3 weekends in a row (all 8 hour shifts)  and about 15 years ago, I came up with this rotation to give us an extra weekend off, everyone liked it and we still use it today

I'm a firefighter. :firefighter: We work 24 hour shifts, followed by 48 hours off. Unless we get overtime or do a shift trade, then we work 48 hours and have 24 hours off. :-\

I'm a truck driver for a milk company. I start anywhere from midnight to 2 a.m. usually and work until the run is done. Legally I can't work more than 14 hours in a  day and have to be off 10 hours between shifts.

Tug boating one week on and one week off. Work week is on call 24/7. If I play ck up extra time I get less then a week off. Most I've ever done was a 36 day hitch. Chief
