I have always preferred working nights. Fewer supervisors and less hassle.

that's what i hear.. i've never worked nights before... how was the adjustment?

No adjustment really. It's my preferred time. Although I hated leaving the house at 10:30. Everyone else is getting cozy and I'm off.

yea i'm a night owl but the conveniences of first shift keeps me getting up at 7 every morning i guess... i don't know. i think it'd fun to try though if it wouldn't get me stuck there

Some people say that they can't stand sleeping in the day time. My problem was not getting to sleep at all. There was always something to be done day or night.

I've had to work the night shift before. I was fine for the first few hours, but when three or three thirty hit, that's when I began to feel it. I've had some pretty irregular sleep schedules in my life, but it's rare for me to be awake between 3am and 5am... just sort of a block of time that I've spent 95% of my life asleep during.

But driving home at 5am is so much nicer than 5pm.

I worked overnights for awhile, and loved it.
The nice, easy, quiet drive home.

The only thing I didn't like was not having a social life. All my buddies worked day shift.
I was glad to get back on days.
Oh, and if I got my sleep disturbed, I was a wreck. The other down-side.

Maybe she's working nights.

Yep, ole Adrian is missing in action too.

why isnt witchy here??

Awwww Did you miss me? I decided to paint my basement, since evryone ditched me at home.

I loved working nights, it's my favorite time of the day!!

Painting a room is the last thing I would do if I had free time.
Napping is the first.

I'm sure spookymufu can attest to the summer heat and humidity here in Texas. It is for this reason I have always preferred the night shift. It backfired once when I took a grave-yard job at the airport. I ended up cleaning airplanes that were 120 degrees plus even at night.
Yikes!
