    Omg, I thought I slept enough but apparently not. I'm exhausted and I want to eat anything and everything even though I'm really not that hungry. Is it time to either, go upstairs and work out? Or nap time.

    I'm in trouble. I didn't sleep so I could get a work out in and go to a meeting with a state senator. Both were worth it. I'm so glad I have two boxes of 5 hour energy drinks. Is it possible to drink 20 hours of energy in 10 hours?

    I do not feel like going upstairs and working out so I may just chill in my chair. 5.5 hours for me!

    Picked up my girl from school. I pushed her bike over to the school and helped her ride home. I'm hoping at least one of my kids gets hooked on the bike. The first two were a bust. :smile:

    And a *kitten* who thought he could hide down here in NC will be headed back to a state in the NE. Then he can face that warrant, plus the other 3 jurisdictions who didn't want to extradite from out of state.

    Good guys win again!

    The dayshift area leads normally hand out the paychecks. I cover all 4 areas that each have their own lead on days. one of my guys decides to wait until after midnight to tell me that he never got his check today....and he's headed out of town in the morning. UGGGGG....not much I can do about it now

    No kids and was single for my first 5 years of being on the night shift. It made working nights easier. Getting sleep, setting my own schedule and not having to worry about others. I have a roommate but it works out. He works swing shift and don't have sleeping issues.

    Now a days, still no kids but I am now in a relationship. She works days and gets weekends off while I get Mon/Tues off which sucks. We try to get together at least once a week but lately it's been once a month.

    Morning Nocs! I'm reluctantly getting ready for work while the rest of the family gets cozy and winds down for the weekend. Poor me, lol.

    Good GOD I know this feel so well.
    I wouldn't call it a 'relationship'...er... I just don't want to. It is what it is. Anyway, we both work nights but he has Sun, Mon, Tues, off and I have Wed, Thurs. We try to get together once a week but lately it's twice a month when either he has training during the day Weds and we hang Weds night OR if I take a Tuesday off and we hang out Tuesday night. :grumble:
