15½ hour shifts

[movingtables]

Would any of you guys work a 15½ shift?

recently got myself a job as a security guard and there will be a new opening soon for a corperate building.
basicaly sitting at the main desk at reception.

the hours would be 5:30pm to 8:30am the next morning.
4 days on and 3 days off.
£7 per hour (North West wages) = £378 a week.

Im just thinking i may get bored for that long and go mad lol.

PS- the guy who works there now says he has a sleep 12am to 5am

 

[V4NT0M]

Yep.

 

[chipperhead]

I work a 15 hour night shift, 6pm til 9am.
So in answer to your question, yes I would.

 

[JBuk]

Not for those wages unless I was desperate

 

[mjones1]

I would take the job then just a internet enabled device to keep you entertained.

 

[tres]

I'd do it

 

[sniffy]

Depends on the job mate. I personally couldn't do 15 and half hours security work as the boredom would kill me.

Edit

Yeah browsing the net is a viable option with that type of work so I guess it wouldn't be too bad.

 

[tom_e]

Yep, thats not a bad wage for bascially sitting on arse all day doing nothing.

 

[Casdawer]

DO IT!

Not for those wages unless I was desperate

I couldn't do nothing for 15 hours sat at a desk.

I'd try and make sure I had either an internet connection, or a supply of good books / puzzles in fact anything to make the time pass.

 

[RIZZEE]

id do it, but im pretty sure id get very bored very quick
seems good pay though

 

[movingtables]

what if i get that affect in the film "the shining"

 

[DanH84]

not really for those wages as i'm pretty sure you'd get paid more per hour for working at a supermarket overnight.

However if i was desperate i'd do it, I would however have; a book, a multimedia device, lots of snacks and internet access. oddly i think if you had 1 or 2 people who you got on with working with you then it could be a real laugh.

to you too

What don't you agree with?

I'd work those hours, but not for those wages. For long shift night work, they are pretty poor.

 

[Jotun]

How long would you be doing it for? If it was for a few months vs a long term move, then it changes things. To be honest I'd probabaly not take it as I'd want more money for those hours.

 

[julianhj]

I do occasionally work that long, but then I'm not sitting around doing nothing so it's hard work.

A job where I could sit around reading / on the net sounds great, but there's no prospects and it's not great money.

4 on 3 off is OK provided it doesn't mess with your home life.

North West wages? What on Earth are they?

Wages recieved within the north-western region of the United Kingdom one would assume
