I know what you mean about shift work. Used to work that same shift, and didn't really like a lot of the noon meetings around town. Fortunately, most step work can be done any time of day.
On nights now, and alternate the nights I work every week, so I can't go to any one meeting more often than once every 2 weeks. Will volunteer for the first day shift opportunity that comes along. Don't want to wear slacks and give up the differential, but on the whole Ill be better off.
