Graveyard shift
(but not in an actual graveyard...but then again...)

Never in my life did I see myself working the night shift.

Never.

As in, never.

I am currently working from 9PM to 6AM because my US-based client is implementing a major system and they want my team to work in sync with them in case any problems would arise during their testings.

Now this is my first experience working the graveyard shift; yes I've worked overnights before but never on consecutive days. And now that I have worked on these hours, I could definitely and conclusively say its not for me.

You see, I'm a morning person (as a dear friend pointed out earlier) - I wake up relatively early, arrive at work early (around 6:30ish), and I generally finish my own tasks before lunch time. Anything else that would arise I give the rest of the day as a buffer.

I don't know where this principle (for lack of a better term) of mine started but I've been applying it since college. Aside from time management, I would approach my subjects in a similar manner - I work hard during the first half of the semester then would generally be exempted from taking the final exams. I would rather not take the finals than increase my grade further - as long as I get a passing grade (which is a little above average considering I basically skipped the finals), I'm fine.

Anyway, the third day of my night shift is just about over and I'm currently listening to The Fifth Dimension's I Didn't Get To Sleep (At All), quite appropriate if I say so myself.
