i've been in a 12x3 sched for almost 3 months now and there are times i feel that i haven't fully adjusted. i know you will agree with me that this is difficult because this is something which is not normal. the 8 hours of work a day already stresses you and already makes you restless how much more staying at work for 12 hours. most often than not, i find myself brain dead.
today, i would like to write about some of my observations about this schedule, it's advantages and disadvantages and also it's effect to me as an individual. let's start listing them. here are what i came up with:
advantages:
1. longer rest days than the usual (you have more rest days than your work days)
2. i save on my clothes (less wash clothes at the end of my work week)
3. less DAYS spent on staring at the computer monitor (pls refer to number 2 of the disadvantages)
4. i save 400 bucks each month from my monthly budget
5. i can get a part time job to augment my finances
disadvantages:
1. less sleeping hours (average of 5 hours a day during workdays)
2. i stare at the computer for 12 HOURS a day
3. more often than not, i feel lazy to go back to work after my restdays.
4. i noticed that i am having a speech problem (enunciating words) which i do not have before.
5. my brain works a lot slower than usual because of the lack of sleep. in effect, i have a very limited vocabulary and my speech hiccup got worst (my uhhmms)
6. i easily get angry with rude customers which does not happen before.
7. i find myself less productive during my rest days because all i want to do is catch up on my sleeping hours
don't get me wrong, i like the schedule because i have more days off. and hopefully, soon i'll finally get a part time job. these are just my opinion and my observations. these might be true in everyone's case, maybe not. i am writing this because i feel there is a need to. i might not know how but i hope it does serve it's purpose.
