Data Visualization

I love this concept. It reminds me of when I was cooking in hotels, and my Chef had scheduled me on a continuous string of 'clopens'. A 'clopen' is a shift where you work until the restaurant closes, then come back for an opening shift the next day. It is a destroyer of minds. I told him that I'd be happy to do all closes, no days off if he needed, but that working the clopens was turning me into a mental and physical wreck. He was a bit insensitive to my needs to say the least, so I resorted to my own data visualization. I graphed out my sleep patterns for him. The big rollercoaster spikes of sleep/work left him unmoved still, and nothing changed until I eventually quit, refusing to work for any job that intentionally scheduled that way again. The graphic really did a paint a vivid picture that I remember to this day however, and these data visualizations are even more eye opening.
