June 22, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 06:11 AM) Apparently, this is an unusual situation for you. I'm sympathetic. What grown person should be getting off at 7 AM? I should be just showing up at 7 AM. I will continue my b****ing until the pit stains go away and the soreness in my legs and arms is completely gone. Edited June 22, 200520 yr by BobDylan

Will it make you feel any better knowing that I sit at a desk in front of a computer, posting on Soxtalk in an air conditioned office on the 26th floor with a beautiful view of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan? I kid, because I care™

June 22, 200520 yr Ahhh yes the old graveyard shift, done a few of those in my time. So I'm sympathetic, but unfortunately some people have to do these jobs.
June 22, 200520 yr Doing it regularly for a few months is much better than an occassional shift. Once you get into a rhythm, it can be kind of cool. Drinking at 8:00 am with the 70 year yung alcoholics is a treat.
June 22, 200520 yr I used to drive a milk truck and pick up milk from dairy farms. I'd leave at 2:00am, which sucked ass, but's I'd be home by noon a lot, which was great!

Then i would go to sleep, and wake up and be groggy for about 4 more hours, go back to sleep, wake up at 1(or 1:30 if I was dragging) and go through the whole routine. It was killer on my body clock, I will never do it again.

I kid, because I care™ Would it make him feel even better knowing that I roll out of bed around 7:30 - 8:00 depending on how I feel and then walk over to my desk in the loft of my house. There I sit and work in my boxer shorts. When the Sox play day games I can watch them on t.v. There is nobody around to bother me. I can drink while working if I want. On nice days I take the laptop out on the deck and work. No traffic to deal with in the morning or afternoon. If I get tired I can lay down and take a quick nap.
