Graveyard Shift

I worked my first two midnight shifts over the weekend – Friday and Saturday nights from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. They actually weren’t that bad! The hardest part was an unpressurized ferry flight on Friday night from Phoenix to a contract maintenance facility in Dothan, Alabama. It was running 5 hours late, so it arrived around 3:00 AM, when the airport is normally closed. It caused me some problems, but it was good training. The second night I managed to finish my Airline Mgmt homework and complete my first Sudoku puzzle during the slow early morning hours when I had no flights in the air. After each shift I came home and slept. Then I woke up and hung out with Jenny some in the afternoon. I probably won’t bid the midnight shift for next year, but I’ll be OK if I get some midnights here and there.
