I work at a newspaper called Sydsvenska Dagbladet now. It's a morningpaper that comes out 7 days a week. I start working at 14 or 14.30 in the afternoons and work until 00.30 or 01.00. I work seven days out of 14.
I like working shift. Normal office hours: Monday-Friday 9-5 is not really my thing at all. There are of course some disadvantages working shift, like working weekends or days when normal people have free like Boxing Day or New Years Day but the compensation makes it worth it. I also like having a free day in the middle of the week because it feels so much easier to do all the boring stuff, like washing and cleaning, on a Wednesday then on a Saturday.
Another good thing is that I don't have to hurry in the morning. I can sleep almost as long as I want and then eat my breakfast and drink my coffe without any stress. I read the paper carefully and I even have time to watch some tv before going to work. This last week I've started to watch The Sopranos all from the beginning! One or two episodes before cycling off to work. A perfect start of the day :-)
