Shift work

game of the year. You need to go out there and give one hundred percent every shift. Play with the intensity you’ve been playing with all year. If you do that, if you leave it all on the ice, you can walk the halls tomorrow at school and feel proud of yourselves. Wear that jersey with pride tonight boys because this is your time.” My coach’s words were ringing through my head as I was on the bench waiting for my first shift. I couldn’t stop moving my legs when I was standing watching the puck…

Imagine a rocket, specifically molded, perfectly symmetrical, prepared to do it’s job exactly how it needs to with no room for error. Seems almost perfect, on the other hand we have the Rockets, my AAA hockey team the summer before sixth grade. It was made up of players from the La Crosse area who played and practiced together every summer for the last few years. We weren’t exactly the most organized team in the sense of having professional attitudes. The ceiling at our practice arena had leaks…

New York City's Graveyard Shift is an essay about everyday people having night jobs in New York City. The essay talks about some of the people’s experience and thoughts about their night jobs. It is the norm to have a 9 to 5 job in the city, coming home to having the rest of the day to yourself, or going home to cook dinner for your family. For the rest of the city, people are just getting up to prepare themselves for night of labor. My favorite photo from the essay has to be of Villavicencio a…

Not a lot of action was happening. Anthony had somehow found his way to the penalty box a couple of times. Coach told me if I don't hustle my next shift, he was going to sit me. I knew then something was going to have to change. The game went on. About half way through the second period, I hear from Coach; “Kyle….Austin….and Brett…. You are up next”. I knew something good was going to happen. I step…

Midnight Snacks food truck can be a late-night dream for people who typically work between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Night owls and overnight, third-shift workers, often lack access to fresh meals that are available in regular, or fast food, restaurants during the day. After a thorough analysis of the local food truck industry, and the Peoria-area census data, it appears that the Midnight Snack food truck business could be fruitful and fill a current market gap. This section of the business…

The effects of a rotating shift work can be challenging for workers who are not aware of the health issues, and how their circadian rhythm works.

Rotating shifts can create…

went when they retired; however, as I got older I realized that I was wrong. Elderly people need help because they cannot take proper care of themselves. I have always wanted to work day shift, so when I received the chance to observe one of the day shift nurses I could not resist. It had changed my mind about all the day shift staff dramatically. As I woke up at six in the morning on a Tuesday,…

Philosophers often credit Thomas Kuhn with popularizing the word as it is used in modern times—after the publication of Kuhn 's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in 1962, the usage of paradigm in published works skyrocketed (Ngram Viewer-Paradigm). In Structure, Kuhn first introduces paradigms as achievements that were both unprecedented and drew attention from rival scientific activities and was incomplete enough to leave scientists problems to resolve.…

talking amongst themselves. I walk up infront of everyone, clearing my throat to get everyone's attention. “Sorry to disappoint you cheerleaders, but Ethan couldn't make it so let's get to work to get it over with, shall we?” I say with authority laced in my voice. “Today we are working in our wolf forms so shift and follow my lead. Have your mindlink open incase I try to contact y’all.” I command shifting into my wolf. It has been awhile since I shifted into my wolf, she has been begging to…
