I work in waste-to-energy power generation. I prefer this because I love the work that goes into reducing our carbon footprint, and the efficiency of the plant is outstanding.

@Chris Buske yes great answer! It completely slipped my mind that most remote oil and gas sites produce their own power and heat using cogeneration.

I am okay to work any Holiday! I try not to put too much sentimental value on the holidays. I personally don't agree with most of them, but to each their own. If companies are willing to pay extra wage, then sign me up! If you find yourself struggling with the thought of having to work on one of these holidays, remind yourself it's just like any other day, don't hold it to such a high standard/value, don't subject it to too much meaning. IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY WITH MORE PAY :)

I am writing soon. All I can say is, study the material and learn it. You can't fail the exam if you know the material.

@Mike Nguyen I do agree it is quite the amount of information needed to confidently pass the exams. Best thing for sure is to go into them with no stress. The smartest person will fail if they suffer from test anxiety 😅. Good luck to you sir. You can always rewrite.

CALL every plant! They really notice you more when you do this. Thank me later.

Cracking the night's code is next to impossible. We are inherently designed this way through evolution on our planet. Your body's circadian rhythm doesn't allow for this, you can only try to decrease side effects. When you don't sleep the usual schedule you are at a much higher risk of heart attacks, so if you drink and smoke as a shift worker, paired with bad eating habits... yikes... If on nights, take it slow and rest as much as you can. Stay physically active during the day, and make sure you get at least 30 minutes of direct sunlight to ensure proper production in Vitamin D (remember it's the UV light you need for vitamin D production, it's your responsibility to ingest the vitamins to be available for breakdown and production). Hope this helps.
