10 things dayshift workers should know about nightshift

1.Back in the old days of astronomy Galileo looked into the night sky at mars and said there are cities, forests, oceans and rivers. but with better telescopes and space travel we now know better. So if your home in bed don't assume you know what happened at work that night.

2.People have a hard time seeing in the dark.

3.If it's that important you should stay to tell them yourself.

4.it doesn't always break on nights, we just report it and fix it.

5.If you want us to call you don't tell everyone else that guy can't do anything without calling me.

6.If it bothers you to get phone calls at midnight, don't call us at noon.

7.just because it worked fine on days doesn't mean it will stay that way on nights.

8.you say, you can do it better, I say, what day are we switching shifts?

9.What you call hiding, I call out doing things.

10.Less people on night means we have to do more.
