it's around 3:21 am, my time. Normally around this hour,
what i call the "graveyeard shift" (all the ppl form the
eastern hemipshere) come out to play, especially on the
weekends. I haven't seen to many of you lately. And i miss
it.

I hate those shifts

I work till 2am some days, I do split shifts, and I much
prefer the early shifts

I HATE getting up in the morning but It's nice to have the
afternoon off with all the normal people .

the only thing i hated about working the gave yard shifts
was that al lthe stores open up aroudn 9:00 am, and my
shifts normally ended aroufn 6 or 7, and i normally had to
go to sleep imediatly, and when i woke up, it was when these
places normally closed, so in order to run important erands,
i had to kill 4 or so hours from my work schedule.

I go to work, get there at 8:45, stay till 5... so few hours
to do anything after that. I want to stay up late so I can
accomplish more, but of course that means I get so little
sleep. Fuck. Work sucks. Wish I could just be like the guy
from Office Space.

What? That's Goddamn madness, man. What do you do? Can't be
that bad if you can go on the net at work, though. Hell, I'd
work 24/7 if I could do that.

i am the guy frm office space!
i quit my job 4 months ago, grew a mohawk adn a beard and
have been doing my own thing since.
i'm not sure how i'm going to pay september's rent though!
but it oesn't matter, it will all work out in the end!
why work a jesus job when you can do what you want?
you just have to be ingenuitive enough to find out how you
can get paid for it!
in some cases that is tricky.
i won't get into it here, or i'll be banned!
