Also, my biggest problem with working nights is figuring out when to eat my meals. The last thing I want to do when I get home is make breakfast/dinner before sleeping.

I eat the same time I normally would...every 3-4 hours. I'll have a late supper before I go to work (around 9-10pm) and then bring s couple light meals or snacks for 1ish and 4ish.

Okay. I will definitely try this next shift. Thanks.

Yeah, I mean there's no reason why your eating pattern should change, really. Everything just gets pushed forward 6-8 hours.

I can't sleep for long after a night shift. I get home shortly after 7 and am asleep by 8, and then wake up around 1 or 2 pm.

That was an awesome movie too.

Posted by Watts on May-15-2010 07:20:

Yeah, I missed a lot of them when I was adjusting to the change. I would sleep for ten to twelve hours instead of soldiering through the day.

I'll be interested to see how next week goes. I plan on doing something like waking up at 2030, working from 22 - 6, class from 6 - 14.

Should be fun.

Holy shit, you have class the day after a shift?? Terror. There was a guy in my program first year who worked nights 3 nights a week, and would come straight to school for an 8 hours day after. Guy was a mess.

I wish a crazy lady would get you. It'd be like Psycho, except your mother would play a female version of Norman Bates.

I worked at a bar and a night club and the atmosphere is different than most graveyard jobs because after your done with everything and get your money from the tips, it's usually an after party because you have cash in hand. Also, I noticed that you loose track with your real friends and the people you work graveyard with basically become your new friends you drink, party and gossip with.

But, I also worked a different kind of graveyard job at a laboratory and I didn't tend to loose track with my real friends as easily because everyone there was older and I really didn't have much in common with them except for a few people.

For me, it was the type of job you work during those long night shifts that determine what and how you spend your time, also age factor plays a role, there were a lot of bartenders that were older and wouldn't go to the after parties after closing down the club.

I did, twice. I don't smoke much. Pretty much only when I drink.

I was just giving a nod to the enjoyableness of smoking on a night shift, doesn't mean that I do it.

Today I begin this crazy work/school schedule, but until then, I'm drinking this forty and waiting for the sun to come up so I can finish yard work.

Thank god I had to train someone tonight...I wouldn't have made it through the 3-5am stretch. FFFFFUUUUUUUUU.

On another note, I've been looking online for a dress to wear to a wedding in July, and I think this is the one:

That reminds me of a scrub top someone had at my old job. Just needs an undershirt.
