Overnight Owl...

Working overnight can truly mess with your mind. I never know what day it is....I have to look at a calendar for a long time before I can figure it out. If it isn't my planner, it takes even longer.

I go to work at 11pm at night 5 nights a week and work on average about 7.5-8 hours. Waking up when it's dusk and trying to go to bed when it just got light out is the most awkward thing. I get home and I am tired and should want to sleep, but I feel like the sun tricks me into thinking I should stay awake. And I usually do. In less than 12 hours I will be getting in the shower and then be getting ready for work.

It is such a backwards schedule.

As for the people I work with....it is such a wide range of personalities and lifestyles. I can't figure out where I fit in, but I kind of like that. I feel like the job shouldn't be THAT normal for me, because it is definitely not where I see myself in the years to come. The job doesn't require that much thinking, which I like right now. My last job was so intense all the time and although I would NEVER trade my time there for anything...it's nice to have a polar opposite experience.

So it just hit 10am/what would normally be 11am and I am still awake...why you may ask...because I feel like I should do more than shower and stock shelves in a day. So, I ate some 'breakfast,' watched a movie, and played with the dogs as my roommates got ready for their rehearsal.

All in a night/morning's time!
