I work Saturdays, plus three evening shifts during the week.
Not having Saturdays for joining my friends & going to special events is something I may never fully adjust to ... but not having to deal with the stress of the full office staff being present (& politicking, etc), having the bosses mostly gone, working the lesser-volume traffic periods? I've adjusted to all that quite well.
I enjoy my joy so much. If I don't think about what I'm missing those three nights a week and Saturdays, the stress of the job itself is very low. For a bipolar alcoholic, I think I made the better choice ... it's been several years, and I've never been seriously tempted to change anything for longer than my self-imposed 24-hr think-it-over period.
