The truth? My job is 14-17 hour days, 4 days a week, 4 days off. In theory, at any rate, as they require I work mandatory overtime in the day, so since I'm a night time worker there goes a day flipping my schedule back, working a day, and then returning it back to normal, leaving me with 2 days off to decompress. That tends to take all my time.

I work for the TDCJ (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). My work 'set' or 'week' as I call it is an 8 day cycle. I'm in corrections, which is an underpaid, understaffed, and terribly neglected field that gets shat on by everyone who listens to overhyped drivel coming from popular television.
It's a hell of a job, but with all the damn overtime I rake in a fair bit of money. It's just you really aren't given a choice of if you want to go or not. The place I work at is considered the worst in the state, and everyone who goes there wants out as fast as possible, which means you gotta suck it up and do it all until you get the transfer. If you get put on disciplinary probation you can't transfer, which is a method the administration is hammering on us to hold us hostage as long as possible.
