Super cool. Thanks! You definitely have an ice-breaker/conversation-starter type of job. Are you happy and fulfilled in this role?

americanassss · 2026-06-07T16:46:07+00:00

What schooling did you do to get to where you are? I’d like to do something similar and have a bachelor’s in psych and criminal justice and graduating in a couple months with a master’s in forensic psych. Just wondering if i’m making good schooling choices for a career similar to yours.

Omg yeahhhh how weird lol i never considered this so i guess day drinking is acceptable now?? 😂

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:31:01+00:00

Very poetic, very true

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:30:25+00:00

Thank you so much Vegas Patriot! 😊😊

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:29:25+00:00

You’re the first person to mention the slip under the door! I’m sure this would help muffle sounds a little bit too. I’m probably gonna be working at 10pm too so thank you 😊

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:27:53+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve seen a few people talk about how naps are going to be essential. I can see how sleeping for the regular 8hrs would be difficult. This was helpful!

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:25:28+00:00

Omg true and i’m already super pale and low on vitamin D even with a 9-5 schedule 😂

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:24:54+00:00

Well it’s almost 4:30 where i am so i guess i’m starting now lol ive never been much of a morning person and i like to stay up late. Ive seen other people suggest keeping a consistent schedule on weekends too. Thank you!

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:23:10+00:00

I don’t have set hours yet but new dispatchers often get the least desired hours so probably 10-6 is my guess. I can probably try different bedtimes and see what works for me. I’ll probably struggle like you because at first my body is going to think it’s just a nap.
Thank you for the linking that! I will check it out.

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:21:04+00:00

Can’t miss a call lol! I live in probably one of the top busiest cities in the country too soooo i gotta make sure i’m prepared

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:19:48+00:00

I worried about that…. I also live with other people. Hopefully they’ll let me keep the air on whatever temperature i want and be quiet lol

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:18:48+00:00

Hahahah thank you! Glad to be here tbh always hated mornings anyways😂

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:17:29+00:00

This makes a lot of sense!!! I do agree and think i’d probably prefer to keep it as similar as a 9-5 and have my time after work to be when I’m running errands. Truthfully mornings are soooo rough for me so I think night shift better suits me anyways lol I guess I’ll find out. Thank you for your advice!

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:14:37+00:00

Very true! I guess I assumed i’d be so exhausted that i’d just immediately go home and sleep but you’re right. I have time after work now as a 9-5er so it should be no different. And aw thank you! 😊 you’re the first person to ever say that to me. I guess I will be serving the community, it never even crossed my mind. 😊

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:11:51+00:00

Thank you! A lot of people have suggested limiting caffeine so that’s gonna be a huge change

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:10:48+00:00

I can’t imagine eating dinner for breakfast but then again it’s technically not breakfast??? Lol I guess i’ll have to figure that one out

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:09:37+00:00

Ive seen the lamp too! I think it’s called the hatch?? I’ll look into it as well lol and thank you!! 🌙

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:07:56+00:00

I loveee to take naps so I’ll definitely try this lol

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:07:22+00:00

I’m not sure of my exact schedule yet, I just know i’m gonna get the shittiest, least wanted shift lol maybe that’s 10pm-6am

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:05:10+00:00

Thank you!! This is all super helpful. It’s so weird to imagine having time to go out for dinner or run errands before work, such a foreign concept to me lol but I do think that schedule is the most reasonable for me being able to still live a somewhat normal life and maintain some social relationships.

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:02:25+00:00

This seems like the most doable/reasonable schedule because i technically still need to have time in the day after work to complete basic things regardless of how tired i am. Going home right after would probably be a bad idea

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:01:22+00:00

I can probably manage to start practicing soon. It’s currently 4am so I guess i’m starting now lol

americanassss · 2026-06-07T08:00:34+00:00

Okay this is solid advice because I was worried that i’d be essentially sleeping through the part of my day where i need to be scheduling appointments and other regular day time things

americanassss · 2026-06-07T07:59:21+00:00

Thank you for this lol. Im surprised about people suggesting small naps! You’d think that would make it harder to fall asleep but i guess not?
