Managed to dodge night shift by the skin of my teeth, only because they put the probationary employees on instead - something that normally wouldn't happen but "business conditions."
Woulda really sucked, especially since we're almost at the end of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign and I'd have hated to have to drop out so close to the end (playing a pure Fighter... Never. Again.) I knew something was up though, they never really hire people on our line so it was pretty unusual to get so many in so short a time. I'll have more work, and I feel for the poor bastards since I started on night shift myself... but it's a relief.
