Personally, back in my support days, I used to love the shift patterns.
The earlies were great in the summer (early finish), but not so good in the winter (defrosting the car).
The late shifts 11-7 were my personal favourite as very little to support in the last 2 hours, so had plenty of time to study for new certs whilst being paid. Look for the positives.
It did help that we also got a shift allowance added to our wage as well.
