I love most things about my job and hate very little (power plant engineer). Love the schedule, problem solving, learning, future potential, coworkers, job itself and the opportunities. Hate the schedule, burns, coworkers, fiberglass and occasional danger.

I work 24 hour shifts. It's great! I love it, because I only have to work 2 days a week and have off the rest of the time. On the other hand, that shitty feeling you have when you start your shift and go "well, I just gotta get through X more hours then I can go home"? I gotta get through 24 more hours before I get to go home. It sucks.

Yeah I do 12s and even those feel brutally long sometimes.
