Busy?

I'm lucky I have a CWS and work 11am-9pm with wed/thu/sun off.

I don't work at an airport. I handle the "enroute" environment getting people in and out of O'hare, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids MI, and getting them across the country.

I work in IT so in addtion to a traditional 9-5 we do work nights or weekends at times as we can't work on systems with clients on it during the day. In IT it's all part of the career.

In my last job, I was responsible for assisting with pre-sales technical issues for reseller channels in Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. My day started usually around 3-4 PM (morning in Asia the next day) and ended around 9 PM on some days. Of course, I worked some hours during the day also here in the US. The wonderful thing was that my boss gave me a lot of flexibility and I was able to work a lot from home and adjust my hours.

Dang. That's a crazy schedule. We don't have anything like that here. I can think of a few people that would jump all over that. I'm pretty attached to my PDOs though. I'm #7 in seniority. I turned down Fri/sat this year. That was a tough one to pass up, but did for my kiddo.
