How'd ya like it?
Things are starting to settle down around here. Just fired up Stigmata a minute ago. Thats a good movie to keep me going for a few hours.

It may be lots of hours, and a severe lack of sleep...but atleast I get to watch movies on my laptop if its slow. Ofcourse it still takes a few hours to watch a 90 minute movie. Patricia Arquette

Don't look at it as a thin bunch look at it as the best of the bunch. It sounds a little better.

Who could argue with such truths.

Yea i thought star wars 1 was pretty good. Never seen Stigmata before but heard its good.

Just surfing real estate in town right now on the net. I need to buy a house, My rent is as much as a mortgage payment. But then again the market is pretty high right now in town with oil being around $50 a barrel. That and i want to buy a stang, if only i was rich.... ahhhhh

I think that switching your hours around really sucks. I worked mids for 7 years then 4 to 12 for 13 years. That messed me up when I had to go back to days. Now I am back to 4 to 12.

People who have never worked midnights have said well catching that second wind helps a bit to stay awake. I'm thinking if you really knew waht you were talking about it's more like a third, fourth or fifth wind that counts. A second wind is for lightweights, the 10th is what makes a real man. In peppy's case I guess he's on his 15th. I guess we should declare peppy the night shift king.

Now I wouldnt say all that. I'm just hopped up on chocolate, caffine, nicotine, and a little bit of busy. Ofcourse, if people quit gettin sick, gettin hurt, or hurtin each other....I might just get some sleep.
Heck, I'm not even a real night person......I work 12 hour swing shifts. Which actually I guess, might be what helps me work days like this....acustomed to both days and nights.
You all are nuts. King Peppy......

In all honesty...my night shifts would suck if it werent for hanging out with you guys. I look forward to nights, often anyway. Its a group of people with something in common.....not everyone here at once.....but several of us all here at one time or another. Its cool, and its something, something shared.

But really.......its damn late......and we must all be just a little messed up in the head.
