No electronics allowed on my job site. So when there's nothing to do I bust out a pen and notepad or sing loudly.

Same boat brother, at work now, 11 pm on a Monday night, actually, it's afternoon shift, best shift out there, 11 am wake up, 3 am sleep, ohhh yeah,

 

I start at 2 pm and finish at 12, sometimes it's a 12 hour shift, but that is rare,

 

best hours ever, and I get shift allowance and my breaks are paid for, dayshift is for suckers.

My last job had 2 12 hour night shifts per week.
 
It was usually pretty busy but yeah, when it was quiet it was TERRIBLE.

I do like the extra pay that comes with the shift. And when its down time like this, I just remind myself that I'm getting base + 15% and OT for everything after 8 hours.

Yess, my favorite part of working night shift. I loved it when I was new to this site, for weeks all I did on my downtime was watch giantbomb videos. hah

New question for the bored up late - What are your favorite browser based time wasters? You know those flash games that eat up the minutes or hours of down time that you have.

@Red12b:  Once upon a time I would have agreed. I used to work either 10pm starts or Midnight starts for an 8 or 10 hour shift and I loved it. But once I got a salary position and moved to the day shifts I find it is much better. The transition period was a bitch where all I could do was work then sleep and there were some aspects of working nights I missed but over all I found days much better. Now the early start is the only thing that blows. But once I'm up and about I am fine and by 2pm I have the afternoon to do what I want and need to get done.

I just had an epiphany. I played this a while back and thought that game was alright, but I only now realized the balls can be banked off the side of the walls. It's a great spin (heyo!) on the good old match three genre.

when i was younger i had kind of a night shift. i would work double shifts a lot of times. a couple of times i would work 17 hour shifts and then come home sleep wake up and go to work again. it was pretty boring sometimes when there was nothing to do. i worked in the kitchen so there was a lot of down time when the food was out.

I used to work nights for my college, doing food service. Let me tell you being the only place students with a meal plan can eat after 10 pm is not fun at all. Working till 3 every morning then waking up in the afternoon makes you feel like such a worthless fuck, or at least it did to me. Everyone else is like halfway through their day and I'm watching TV and eating cereal.

@Lukeweizer:  Company called ASML. Basically we make the machines that make microchips. And I am a Customer Support Engineer, so I work on a customer site (currently Intel) and wait for a machine to break or scheduled maintenance.
