Yeah - hence the ongoing indecision and debate with myself...
Appreciate all your feedback Mark (and other SB's)... it does help to get an outside perspective... even from people that you don't even know...
Mrs GPA says let it go - if I really wanted to do it I would have made my mind up by now... especially as this is effectively the third time it has come my way.
Cheers again.
I did rotaing shift work for fifteen years and IMHO there is exactly nothing positive that can be said for it.
That atrocious hangover feeling that you get at 2.30 am on your second third and fourth night shift was something I could never shake and the shift loading was poor compensation.
Make sure you isolate and lock-out Don't take shortcuts These can lead to major/catastrophic accidents.
- Dont force the wrong manual overides on valves and inputs outputs - (personal one of mine) 
PS) bang hammers on benches start up grinders and anything loud when the day-shift bosses walk in and are having there morning coffee "they will let you go early".
You can get lots of "your own jobs" done for home on nightshift
G'day everyone...
Just a brief update... I knocked the role back.
On balance there were just too many cons that outweighed the pros. I was open with the boss and he was very understanding of my decision - and even commented that he was pleased to see that I had given it proper and careful consideration.
Work colleagues that had given me encouragement to take the role were also supportive when I knocked it back - even those that had their hand up for the same job and had missed out.
...and Mrs GPA is pleased.
Thanks again to those that offered advice...
