Working 3rd shift sucks at 11 in the morning...
Because people think that you should be up at 11:00 in the morning!

I was just drifting off to sleep when the doorbell rang.

Not once.

Not twice.

BUT 3 FRICKIN' TIMES!

By the time I got to the door the woman had walked away and I wasn't about to try and track her down.

Why don't people realize that not everyone is on their precious schedule?

<OK, rant over. Back to bed.>

3. Hear hear!!! I've worked nights for 25 years
I hate lawnmowers ar 8/9am.
I am soooo tempted to mow my lawn at 2am just to give my neighbors a taste of their medicine, but my lawnmowing would be against the law.

People who work night shift just don't count or exist to the rest of the world.

5. Good sign, It may be just the thing to keep those pesky
religious freaks from knocking on one's door.

In the race to save your 'soul' every second counts.
