I got offered this job, and when I applied for it, I was told that the hours were second shift. Not ideal, but I could live with it. When I interviewed for it, however, they told me that the shifts actually change every day. They move ahead two hours (and are also ten-hour shifts). So one day, I'd be working noon to 10:00 pm, the next day 2:00 to midnight, then 4:00 to 2:00 am, and finally 6:00 to 4:00 am.

I worry about this. I can handle second and even third shifts as long as the hours stay consistent, but these "moving shifts" seem like they'd really f*ck up my internal clock and turn me into Zombie Woman. I worry I might not be able to handle them. But I really need to take this job, because I'm unemployed now and my severence package has run out, and if I don't take this job, I'd have to go on unemployment, which I don't want.

So, I'm wondering, has anyone here ever had to work shifts that changed every day? If so, how did you handle it? I'm just wondering what I should expect and if taking this job means I'll have to sequester my cranky self away from humanity from now on
