Night shifts and a forthcoming change

My 2nd night at work and I feel like having my 5th, at least. Generally, the 1st night shift is the most difficult. When it hits 2am my head keeps rolling down. After 2 or 3 shifts you can overcome sleepiness. One may think that your work would keep you busy and awake but nothing could be further from the truth. After 2 years on the job all the work seems so monotonous that barely nothing can surprise you. That's the life of the support provider. 24/7.

I hope that the times will get better soon when I change the job position, though the description of the jobs differ slightly. However, more responsibility, greater privileges and higher technical skill demands are going to keep me busy for the following few months. I'm not particularly fond of changes, however life forces an individual to reevaluate priorities and they must do something to change the stereotype. Otherwise you risk a death of boredom and I'm not taking that chance ... well, at least for now.
