Usually eating on my break from work gives me more energy, regardless of what type of food it is, but I may as well have eaten a Turkey dinner. Anyways, despite it seeming really busy at the resturant, our server was the man. He was very speedy and even brought ( Read more... )

"Dude, I've been on the phones and churning through problem reports non stop for...oh wait...crap..."I didn't realize how long the initial part of yesterday's work day was until I looked at the little clock on the lower left of my work monitor, my co-worker burst into laughter, and I realized that only two hours had elapsed since I got there.

Is there anyone on the night staff who wants to stay on nights?You would think that this would be a no brainer question for me to respond to via email. I have been a night owl for many years and have been fortunate to get work schedules that go well with such a lifestyle.
