I was chatting with a colleague of mine who's in the night shift. We exchanged a few good views. Here are some of them.
What's important in life? Money or Health? The age old saying goes that Health is Wealth. When you are young, in the prime of your youth, health does not matter. Your health would be in your hands and you can twist around and play with it however you want.
She was complaining about working inthe night shift. I would not mind any shift that I am put into as long as I have some work to do and spend my hours productively. There is a visible difference of Rs. 800/- per month if you work in the night shifts. I am not sure if the pay has been revised or not. When I was in the night shifts (more than 7 months back, that's the difference I was noticing. Day shift the shift allowance is 400/- while in the night shift, it is 1200/-.
I felt that as there is ample amount of work in the night.... (This is a BPO and the client is US Based) if you get an amount of 800/- per month over and above your normal earnings, and you are busy throughout the night too...what's the big problem in working then???
If I were in her place, I'd have continued in the night shifts for time immemorial...for a minimum stretch of 4 months without asking a shift change or cribbing about night shifts. I am fed up of being jobless during the day and earning my salary without doing anything productive. Being jobless had put me into depression and now, I have found more productive ways of spending my time in the office.
Anyways, in continuance with my earlier question, is Health important more than wealth in your youth??? I feel otherwise. I feel that you can always change your daily routine and live life during the day as you used to do in the night (i.e., sleep) and work during the night (as you'd have done in the day). Eat lunch (actually dinner) by 2:30 AM. Eat breakfast (which is your actual dinner by 8:30 and go home and eat dinner (actual breakfast) by 9:00 AM and then, doze off by 10 or 11 to wake up by 6 or 7. Get ready and reach the office by 8:30 to continue ur day.
I was well accustomed to this routine. Now, the routine has changed...'m in the day shift putting on a lot of weight. Who cares actually.... The only problem that I find in my current work timings is that I spend a lot of time sitting idle (just as if I was on bench) than using my work hours productively. But, I have been introduced to blogging and am slowly getting addicted to it. Let's C what's goin to happen.
