Fuck night shifts. I worked nights for 11 months. 2 weeks off wasn’t enough time for me to readjust. There were a couple of weeks during winter where I didn’t see sunlight at all.
I used to work a graveyard shift from 11pm to 6am. The first wave of morning workers were typically tradies in hi-viz, driving bright white vans. I used to think of them as a glowing army sent to scare off the walking dead clubbers who were still stumbling around.

The drugs will not avail you, creature of The Night. Go back to the Shadow!
Youuu!..Shall Not!..Paaaaasss!- Gandalf, cleaner of Moria Club, holding The Broom and Mop.
They said tradie, if this is to be believed, the drugs have probably already availed them.
I work 2300-0700. What is this seven hour shift you speak of?!
It was more like 2230-0630 because of overlapping handover, but that’s when I was officially on duty.
I’ve started going in to work early so I’m getting up at 4:30 every morning now. Last week I was texting a friend who hadn’t gone to bed yet while I was getting ready for work. He works a typical 9-5 office job from home so he probably wakes up pretty late by my standards, even still he was probably pretty tired that day at work. But that’s his norm, it’s crazy to me.
This describes my interactions with my son during the summer.
Oh my lord, and grandma (my mom) comes by during the day and then I get an earful that the teenager sleeps all day it can’t be good for him.
Actually it’s convenient for me because at least his grumpy self is awake when I am home. He’s playing online all night with his tween nephews, his half sister has a new baby so technically he is free babysitting his nephews all night every night till 4am so she can sleep and worry about her newborn most of the day while they are crashed out.
I’m gonna start throttling the internet at 1am, then midnight, then 11 two weeks before school starts.
Same, but I’m the one going to bed at 5am lol
Me on public transport going home from tha club, surrounded by people on their way to work… A very sobering experience…
Um no. In my experience, it’s those who get up early that scare the crap out of zombies.
That roller coaster is great though
Those of us who’ve been up for a few hours at 6 are a mix of both
My roommate works graveyard. I naturally wake up at 4am.
There’s been many weird catch-up conversations in the kitchen when our paths cross lol
Tis is how me and one of my housemates are. She games all night and i wake up for work at 5ish. So she is having dinner around when i am having breakfast lmao
Gotta get quality time in where we can, right? Haha that sounds lovely honestly :)
I never watched the Goosebumps TV show, was it any good?
me and my crazy ex
I went to office at 0600 today because of the weather.
