12: Surviving Shift Work

I have worked in Corrections for more than 28 years. Twenty-two of those years included shift work. One of the things I found the most challenging over the years is working midnight shifts. I am okay with evening shift (although my it kills your family time), but midnight shifts kicked my ass.
