Night Owls only

[Tatum]

2:46 am, this schedule thing is NOT working! :/

 

[Mr Vim]

It is tough switching from one schedule to another. I rotate through ngiht shifts once a month but mostly work days... going onto night shifts is not bad at all, stay up late and sleep in, but switching back to days is plain old murder.

And I am on a night shift right now as I type this... its only 2330 here, but aside from Hawaii no one else is up right now.

 

[juup]

although its a little before 0800 here now, i'm very much out of my element. I'm a freelance author of late and find that in the still quiet of the predawn hours i get more done. All I need is my pipe, a little bit of Glenn Miller and a nice cup of joe and i can write till the sun is peeking up from behind Sandia Peak. If I try and write during the day I'll end up walking down to Model pharmacy and having a reuben and a few egg creamers and not get anything done.

Like you said Mr Vim, it's not the late nights but rather the switch back to "normal" hours that's the kicker...
Tatum, [if you don't mind my asking] what kind of job has you up from 1am-3am?

 

[RadioWave]

On page 2 of a 10-page term paper. Yep.

 

[Mr Vim]

Term papers, (*shudders*) there's an excuse for burning the midnight oil if I ever heard one. This is nearly my last night shift for a while, three more and then I'll be on vacation for a month, thank the good lord.

2:42 here & wondering why there are no good movies on right now (even on TCM)!!

I should try to write something other than this forum post, but ... yeah. Naively I think to myself: "I'll just sleep in later" but I know I'll still wake up at 6 & then have to nap in the afternoon. Even w/ coffee...

Talk about messed up hours.

 

[The Good]

I'm still up, it's 1:38 AM over here, and I'm trying to finish my English research paper. It must be turned in tomorrow... I have three or four more pages to go...

Days later... Roving, no job of any kind keeps me up late. I am just trying to get on a "normal" schedule. I am a freelance graphic artist and I help my hubby with his cigar business. The occasional late night event keeps me up somewhat late, but usually it's just because I like to stay in bed until lunchtime! I like to get up early, but I hate to get out of bed, and end up falling back asleep. Which in turn keeps me up really late.

Rue, I know you're up, you just commented on one of my posts in another thread....

Quarter after Midnite here. Trying to sleep, but I never sleep well the night before a car show. Pretty cars and pretty women, I will be a busy man tomorrow!

You're going to have fun! It's like trying to sleep on Christmas Eve

 

[rue]

HA.... yes I am

I'm up late because I have my sneaky teenage daughter's friend here that I don't trust lol Although I'm usually up this late on the weekends anyway.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Exactly! I get all excited. For once I won't be the only one with 50's hair going on either haha!

Ooh, sounds like loads of fun. I am just coming down from being on the road all day

Oh my gosh... Fitting in? Wow, I have almost forgotten what that feels like

Oh yes... it's just AWESOME I was a nightmare teenager so I know what can happen if I go to sleep. The problem is that I'm so old now I can barely keep my eyes open much less be alert to any goings on

What were you doing on the road?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

It's hard to do outside of the lounge!

Helping the hubby out. He had to run some work errands... We went to Orlando today, which is about three hours north of us. Now I am bidding on vintage patterns on eBay... Dangerous.

How come you don't like your daughter's friend? (And good grief, sometimes I wish the Lounge had a chat room...)

That IS dangerous, especially at night :eeek: I'm not even veering in that direction lol

She's trouble. I knew it the minute I met her, but then found out more... apparently she likes to hack onto computers at school, among other things. Found that out tonight after she had already been picked up. to come stay the night.
