Doomer loves Night Shift

[@bakanur]

i used to work night shift at a small town gas station and it was amazing. a few customers at the start of the shift then usually nobody for the rest of the night. Going out to smoke bowls in the cooler and playing my DS all night while getting paid for it! Absolutely perfect.

[@TJCID22]

@@Tatusiek_1 Short version: By not buying shit you don't need, with money you don't have, to impress people you don't even like. But seriously, the trick is minimalism and self control. Reduce your expenses, save your money, invest in slow but safe time-tested financial instruments (none of this get rich quick bullshit, or stuff you don't understand like crypto). Pick something you know (like consumer staples for example. You know what it is and it's not going anywhere. The world existed before crypto and can exist if it suddenly stops, but you literally can't exist without staples), large cap portfolio with a 7~10% yield, and maybe up to a fifth of your money in something a bit more risky (like a mid-cap with up to 3,3% monthly yield). All of it passive income, nothing active that you have to do yourself (like god-forbid FOREX or something) because you have to yet to start learning what it is and that will cost both time (in learning it) and resources (in the failure during the learning curve), and it still has no guarantee of success at the end. Just keep doing what you know, what you're already good at, save the money, consult an expert from an actual financial firm and wait. In 6 years your initial money alone will quadruple (in addition to the money you will continuously add) and you didn't have to reinvent the wheel nor be a super genius or super lucky. The instruments are already in place, you just need the self control to save the money instead of spend it, be patient, not panic sell when it goes down in the short term (it will happen, but keep your eyes on the end goal) and not get greedy when you see the larger income from the midcap and put all the money in the risky stuff.

[@silvacron]

@@Tatusiek_1 Don't listen to him. No one retires at the age of 34 off of 7% annual yields unless you are already rich. He is just downplaying his wealth/parental inheritance in an effort to seem like he earned what he has. P.S. using his own words, If you invest half of your average american salary of $50,000 and it miraculously quadruples like in his scenario, you only have $100,000. That's not enough to retire that young lol also financial firm gurus are not rich because they help you make money. It's also easy to understand crypto, it's not rocket science.

I would actually close my store down at 10pm with a chain and lock, get a call from the delivery guys when they were on their way, and come back to the store late at night all by myself to check them in and stock. Some days it would snow, too. When I covered for other stores, it was super slow at night just like this and the ambience is something else.

I made the mistake of working at Chick-fil-A as a morning shift fry cook. You’re groggy as hell, in a damn race to do everything perfectly so that you can be ready for the first customer. Then you’re just praying you don’t mess anything up. Make sure you’re not pre-breading the chicken so when 15+ people show up all at once, you can get it to them on time. Then the under manager comes in! Such little power, such massive ego. It’s time for lunch - and the rush is underway, but I’m already gassed from opening. Hurry, fire up EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. Now its a sprint- Beepers going off at the same time for every kind of chicken. Running around in every direction until I’m relieved by the next fry cook. My job is now to butter bread and place pickles. Sounds chill right? Wrong. The Manager now wants us to set a record on how fast we serve. How does this benefit us as employees? It doesn’t. Anyways Im slinging bread around until the end of the lunch rush. The end is almost in sight. Shift ends. I didn’t get my lunch break but whatever- the lunch almost makes it worse. All I have to think about at lunch is “Shit I have ten minutes until I return to that hell”. On top of that it reminds me of how cheap my corporate bosses are to bust my ass from the break of dawn but all they can cover for my lunch is a chicken sandwich and fries. Dont take any of the millions of nuggets that get tossed- that would be stealing. I eventually quit. Not long after the entire kitchen walked out.

I highly recommend people to try the night shift at least one week of their lives, it's just a different vibe, even better if you work in one of those "nothing happens here at night" places. I worked in an hotel doing maintenance and when the guy who worked the night shift quit they asked me to cover him for the rest of the week until they found someone else. It was so weird watching the hotel at midnight and even tho the security guy often had pretty busy nights I had almost nothing to do. So when you have a lot of free time and no one to talk to you start thinking the deep stuff and you figure some things out, I remember I spent most of those nights walking around the parking lot with calm music on the earphones thinking of things I could do better to change my life for good and giving a "clousure" to relationships and moments that weren't comming back. I found it pretty therapeutic, I never had the chance to clear my mind and be honest with myself because I never had time for nothing with my routine, but being "forced" to stay in a place and do nothing opened that door for me, and may open it for you too, either if it's a talk with yourself, learning a skill or doing something else, a temporary night shift can give you 8 hours a day to do it.

I work at a rural jail, and it's pretty much the same. Besides wrestling the occasional drunk local who has let the beer go to their head, it's pretty chill. Consequently, command has been like, "Oh, you are actually a competent jailer? Night shift is for punishing the lazy and stupid, have you ever thought of switching to Swing shift (The busiest and worst shift)?" No, no I hadn't, and I never will.

Currently working a night shift in a hotel with around 175 rooms. The work is peaceful tonight as no weddings or parties. 4 hours left to do a few night patrols and get coffees for the chefs. Most night workers iv met have always had a good sense of humour

I'm 29 now and have worked overnights since I was 19 full time. Sometimes 13 nights a week one night off to get tons of overtime. It definitely will mess with your head in other ways but there is a calming sense to it. And actually I've been living out of my car for over a year. With working night shift you can sleep during the day anywhere and not be hassled by police just find a shaded area you can even get certain AC units for your car like the zero breeze anyway. Best of luck to everybody out there. Keep on trucking keep On moving the only way

13 nights a week? -_-

I used to work as a milk man (hilarious I know but pretty common in the UK) and I'd just drive around all night from 11pm-6am with my music on in the van dropping milk off on people's doorstep. Everywhere was like a ghost town and you didn't have to speak to the customers or anything. It was pretty chill.

I used to always take later shifts but we never had night shifts. Still, those were the best times when you could just put on some music and relax while getting paid for it.

[@PhonkEnjoyer222]

All we want is peace snd some time alone,so we can just turn off our brain and relax. Somebody relaxes at beach during day but us,for us relax is being alone and just enjoying our time alone. For us best time to relax is night because night is so quiet and most of the time the streets are empty.

[@10171981]

This reminds me of a movie from back in the '90's in which they literally spend the WHOLE night out in front of a gas station talking to each other until the daylight starts peaking up and they eventually all go back home. I remember one part in which they were making fun of the Indian who was the cashier of the gas station as he told them to go home and they retorted by saying "go back to your slave job" he replied by saying he was in fact he was just working there to make ends meet until he gets his Engineering degree THEN he will be making the big money having his own pool, etc. and that they will still be in front of that said gas station still talking the nights away and doing nothing to change their lives. Does anybody remember that movie ?

[@domenicopiototaro6355]

I've never seen it but now I'm curious

[@10171981]

@@domenicopiototaro6355 Its about this group of kids and that is ALL they do. Simply talk about their problems, beliefs, goals, aspirations, etc.. As people are coming and going throughout the night of this gas station they run into all sorts of people passing trough. It is busier during the early twilight hours but as the night goes on they run into drunks later on getting more alcohol and most importantly getting something to eat. It goes on until the brink of dawn and they simply just say goodbye to each other get in their own cars and go their own way.

I used to work night shifts for about a year. It was bittersweet man! I loved it and hated it at the same time. Loved it because I could do whatever I wanted to during the whole shift. I loved seeing nighttime transform into daytime. I also liked going to work in the middle of the night, it felt like I was going to the club even though I was going to work. But I HATED the fact that I was so tired and sleepy all the time. I also hated the fact that I started feeling jealous of people who didn't work night shifts. There were even days when I would shout, "Why me?" And I would be forced to sleep during the daytime which wasn't that great anyways.
