I've been in my new shift for a couple of days now and I'm starting to adjust to it. Unfortunately, it's just temporary since my KPI last December is low so I expect to be transferred to the mid shift again, or worse, the graveyard shift. But I don't want to talk about that now.

Both shifts have it's pros and cons.

In the morning, time certainly flies so fast while the mid shift seems to take forever before it ends. I'm also trying to get used to working around so many people again since there are only a few people in the office during the mid shift, especially during meal time. It's easy to eat any time I want since the pantry area is empty while I had to fight for space during lunch. The morning is also more noisy as expected but I like it that way. I also like the fact that our boss is around during the morning shift so I know who I can run to when I encounter certain situations. But the thing I hate the most about the morning shift is the amount of money I have to spend. I have to shell out a larger sum of money just to go to work because I have to take a special ride in the tricycle due to the lack of passengers. I leave the house at around 4:30 am so it's natural that there wouldn't be so many people who are awake by then. Even worse, people in the morning shift don't get to experience even just a hour of night diff. unlike the mid shift who gets at least an hour worth of additional pay. It could have compensated for the additional transportation costs.

I also get tempted to buy food before going home. Just earlier today, I had to resist myself from buying soda and limited myself to snacks.

I should probably make a more detailed lists of pros and cons for both shifts. I'll try to make sometime for it soon!
