So I have recently started a new shift at work working night shift ... basically Start my work week Wednesday night and end it Sunday morning - come home sleep then I'm up and about around 6PM. The problem is my friends work normal hours and enjoy the weekends off. This has left me rather bored with nothing to do. Sure I work out bit more a bit more on those days and even started going to a Muay Thai class Monday and Tuesdays. That's about all I do and I'm looking for ideas on what to do or even how to start just getting back out there. It should be easier to figure out as I'm in the sunshine state (St. Pete, Clearwater Tampa area) but just can't figure out what where or how to start.

    I've worked nights for a year. I have every other weekend off.

    My suggestions...take the occasional weekend off and make plans with your friends. Beach weekend, music concert, etc. You will go crazy if you see your friends always doing things without you. If you plan an event you'll have something to look forward to and memories to make. You could also get together with friends around six pm and have dinner.
