    Night shift is treated like the red headed stepchild. During nurses week, they'll round and give out gifts. Not for us nightshifters. lol

    We have pot lucks all the time. But it's those working that plan it and bring it in.

    One place I worked one of the VPs didn't even realize there was a third shift in there at night!:eek:

    During nurses week I hand out Rolos to all the nurses:yes:

    I have some nice sliders I like (Mobtown); I've been looking at lifts as well.

    So far, the Icon Stage III has my eye. I'm liking what I'm reading about digressive shocks, fits my driving style for the most part if I'm understanding the concept right.

    People always ask me "How do you not fall asleep at work being on nite shift especially with a job where you have 4 hr cycle times"

    Well.....I sleep 10-12 hrs a day. So there's that.

    It's my days off that kill me, when I have to run any errands at all.

    I'm not even remotely sleepy before 5am; I'll hit the hay about 6-ish, then get up at 1:30 to get stuff done before everything closes at 5 or 6.

    I'm still trying to figure out how to sleep on this damned shift.

    Meh. I've got to hang around town for 3 hrs to pick up a guitar that's been in the shop for a month. Probably just take a nap here in the parking lot.

    My ultra rare red headed step child finally made it home today...sans the installation of an original gold Floyd Rose. I just couldn't bare to have it hacked with a router.
    I've got better plans for that behemoth.
    The new Seymour Duncan zebra sounds like melting dark, german chocolate over an electrical fire. Insane sounding pickup.

    Not to shabby for a 23 yr old shredder.
