Let me tell you. Most times I'd probably be annoyed coming home after working a 12hr graveyard shift to people either hungover and rowdy, or just still plain drunk. But the other day, I was quite enthusiastic about it! For those of you who work this schedule, you know what I'm talking about.
So, I walk in my apartment to find a few friends still drunk from the night before. 9 in the morning, I finally have someone to have a few drinks with. Day-life sucks. It's actually kinda lonely. I mean, what loser drinks alone at 9am? Oh, right, that would be me. But not that morning!
When I used to work 7am-8pm, I was tired but so was everyone else who had a job and we'd still go out. Nowadays, everyone's already at work by time I get home. I have no real night-life and day-life is filled with eat, sleep, getting ready for work, and repeat. Granted I technically work 3 nights a week, some of those days on the weekend, so when I do go out, and if I do meet anyone, it takes an average of about 3 weeks to finally ever meet up with them again since most people work the 9-5, 5 days a week. By then you question if it's even worth the effort.
Then there's the option or possibility of dating someone who works graveyard as well. But really, all you do is sleep. So instead of having someone to daydrink with or do things with while everyone's at work, you're just two losers sharing the same bed. To those who I've dated that worked graveyard, no offense intended. All in all, night-shift does not bode well for your social life. I take that back, you can have a social life, it just means less sleep and more effort.
I've gotta give it to people who work day-shift though. It's no fun waking up early and dealing with the whole rush of people on public transportation. But, you also get to see all the gorgeous people in the morning. Another downfall of working night-shift. After 12 hrs of working in a hospital, you look hit as hell and you know you look and even smell like shit walking onto the eL. Seriously, there are some really fine-ass looking people you can scope out in the morning. Unfortunately, if you're night-shift, you are NOT one of them. Another reason I'm bitter every morning getting out of work. I could fix myself up right before I leave the hospital to look presentable, but who does that? No, I do not do that. But really? Sometimes I wish I was on the eL going the opposite direction with all the good looking people. It's kinda like PG13 morning porn. Maybe just PG. (Keep in mind, I've been up all night talking with deliriously tired women nurses on a floor filled with other women, their men, newborn child, and raging hormones.)
