I changed to 2nd shift about 3 years ago and got really annoyed when I had to set the alarm to go to my mothers every Christmas.

As a matter of fact, I left early, it's no fun anymore. The Army is running the plant now and it's 90% bullshit spit & polish. Trying to get things done, while keeping the shop looking like nothing is being done, sucks.
"There's a short piece of 2x4 on the shelf under your bench."
"Yeah, I need that several times a day, when I'm drilling thin sheet metal."
"Well you have to write "shop aid" and a serial number on it, then keep it in a designated, locked, shop cabinet. When you need it (for a minute or so), get the key to the cabinet, sign out the "shop aid", lock the cabinet and return the key. After using the "shop aid" (for a minute or so), get the key, return and sign back in the "shop aid", lock the cabinet and return the key."
Do this several times a day, and end up being 10% efficient, because that's the way the army wants it done.
Incredibly stupid, incredibly annoying, incredibility expensive.
