Spin Time

Station Techs work very strange hours. Not just early morning and off-duty days; but also every 3.33 hours, or every .137 Gees.

There are some good points:
1. When your sleep cycles are determined by how much you weigh, you are usually awake before the alarm goes off.
2. It's hard to bust someone for sleeping on the job when you are paying them extra to wait around for days at a time.
3. The tasks are usually simple, if not boring, and you can use your brain for important things like sleeping.
