The toughest part about working the graveyard shift anywhere is the transition in sleep patterns from the weekend to the work week. My work week starts Wednesday night and ends on Monday morning. Monday and Tuesday nights are my nights off. When I'm off, I tend to enjoy as much of the day as possible. That means staying up as long as possible on Monday and sleeping that night so I can enjoy Tuesday as much as possible. Then I get to sleep most of Wednesday away. It's a vicious cycle, but it pays the bills.
The industry I work in at the moment: retail. So I get to interact with a number of people throughout the night and into the morning. At least I get paid this Thursday, so it can't be all bad. Luckily, I'm getting a bonus on top of what I normally make, so the extra bit of money will help.
Before I go back to bed for a while longer, I would like to give my well wishes to Ken Starks. He has been a tireless proponent of free and open source software. His charity has given away computers to kids whose parents could not afford them otherwise. He is currently down, but knowing him, not out. May you have a speedy recovery. Talk to you later, world. :)
