2pm- get up, get ready, leave by 2:30
3pm-talk to day shift about what I'm working on that night
3-11pm Either running production or on setup.
Production: Measuring size, functionality and finish of my parts and removing any burrs.
Setup: Loading the tooling in and running the first piece to make sure the machine won't crash. Then making sure the part is good.

11:15pm get home from work, watch TV for a while with wife for a while, then mess around on computer

6am go to bed
This thread made me realize that all the small objects we don't notice everyday are made by real people, and they spend their whole days just on that. It's obvious, I know, you just don't think about it.
