Is third shift the same as graveyard/night shift? $22.40 an hour sounds awesome. That's $29.40 NZD. I work midnight to 6am, 5 days a week and get $23 an hour ($16.70 USD), and that's considered a pretty decent hourly rate here, with the minimum wage being $14 an hour ($10.60 USD).
I quite like night shift. I've always been a night person anyway, even before I got this job I didn't usually sleep before 1-2am lol. Has it's perks, I love not having to sit in rush hour traffic everyday, I can get shit done during the day etc. Only thing I don't like is that I work Friday nights, my social life has gone down the toilet, and then half the time I wanna stay awake during the day on Saturday (especially in summer), which means i'm farked on Saturday night cause all I want to do is sleep.
Yes third shift is the same as graveyard shift. I wish our minimum wage was that high!

I just got word that I was hired by the USPS. I start Monday at $11 temporary. If they decide to hire me I start at $16.48 an hour and it goes up from there every 6 months. Pray for me guys. I'm really not doing well right now. My life is in shambles. Physically and emotionally. I'm getting orthopaedic surgery soon. I have to have two rods installed into my spine. I can't move or anything right now. My body is shutting down. My back is completely locked up and my legs are full of inflamation. I'm on my laptop right now sitting in bed. I haven't been able to move in almost a week. I'm in so much pain that it's not even funny. I went to see my doctor and they referred me to a surgeon and gave me some percocet. Let's hope I can get moving enough to go to work on Monday. I hate my life guys. It just gets worse and worse.
PS The doctor told me that if I don't get better by Thursday she's admitting me to the hospital.
Don't give up hope! Be positive,things will get better!
