No, I'm not lazy and don't want to sit around doing nothing, that's why I learned 4 metal trades and continue to learn more to be more valuable.

As far as the OP goes. I hear ya on 2nd shift hours. I have been fortunate to never have to do that shift. 3rd is a pain too but at least I can see my family everyday. What are the odds of them putting you on 3rd instead of 2nd?

I have a wife and a young daughter. it is getting me stressed to the point that I am thinking of looking for a new job.

my 1st shift schedule is great. 6am - 230pm.
2nd shift is terrible. 330pm-midnight

I will have no life at all and when my daughter starts school I will never see her.

****ing bullshit.
Ouch, not to be Mr. Obvious or anything, but stress seems inevitable no matter what the decision. With that said, I genuinely hope that the decision you make ends up working out and results in you being the most stress free. Well wishes from me, man.

I worked for the railroad for 12 years and worked all shifts.

I loved the 2nd shift.

Yes it does **** up your night life but I used that as a positive.

Went home stayed up a bit and hit the sack.

Got up and worked out 4 days a week.

I was never in better shape than when I worked evenings.

Graveyards are another story, I don't sleep well in the day.

He would have a job in no time up here.

Plenty of jobs in Houston or Texas in general.

Oil business is booming.

Weld the office door shut until they put you back on first shift

Any chance that they don't like you for some reason? I've worked at places where they would put people they don't like on shitty shifts in the hope that they would quit instead of having to fire them. Not trying to be a downer; I was just thinking that there may be an issue that, if resolved, might get you back on days if it gets cleared up.

Pipe shuts down for third shift so that structural trades and electrical have full access.

My dad is nuclear qualified too. He considers anything that isn't power plant or refinery welding junk yard welding. Sorry should have been more clear. Wasn't telling you to go to a junkyrard.

So work the 2nd shift and look for another job while collecting a paycheck.
