The first question asked on my “What do you want me to do?” form reads as follows:
You don’t seem to like your job, is it because of the changing shifts from night to day all the time?
Now that’s a really good question. I just want to say now that I love my job. It’s a really great job. I complain a lot, but I do love the job. It leaves me always tired and unable to sleep half the time, because as soon as I get used to one type of shift, they switch me back to the other. Couple that with some really stressful customers and you get a recipe for crankiness.
So I guess yes, the negative attitude is partially because of the irregular shift patterns, but it’s just ranting.

Oh a real question! Hahahaha, it took about six responses before I got a real one on mine!
I understand – my ex used to work 12 hour night shifts for a fortnight and then they’d switch him back to days and vice versa. It’s such a strain on the body and also you start to get very lonely, if you’re the one working or if you’re the other person (which was me).
Night shift should be illeegggaaallll.
I know! The only thing that makes it good is we get extra pay for it.
