Yeah. :laugh:

It didn't end well for me. If I remember correctly the principal had to come down to class and drag me out. :laugh:

stay in school kids.
I know this will be shocking to hear but I had a permanent seat in the principal's office.

So does anyone else here work graveyards or is it just me?

I used to at my old job (call center). It was kind of a double-edged sword IMO.

Pros:
-Always made premium pay
-I hated my boss so I got to work when he wasn't around
-If it was dead (which it always was) I would bring my laptop to work and play video games all night

Cons:
-I would get home at 7am and go to bed but I could never sleep more than 5 hours, so I was always exhausted
-Never got to hang out with my friends or gf because I was trying to sleep or I was just a ***** to be around lol
-Gained a ton of weight because I would overeat on my shifts and then not sleep and consequently not exercise or anything

I wouldn't do it again. It wreaked havoc on my system.

I also worked nights at my old job, fulltime for almost 2 years. seemed like i was going to my doctor like once a month during that time. He tried to diagnose me with a type of depression related to working nights, so i NOPE'd outta that job pretty quick after that

Oh wow sounds like not too many other people like it. I love it actually. I work 11-7 Monday to Friday at a machine shop. Pay is good, people are cool and I still see most of my friends on a decent basis and I'm single without kids so that doesn't get affected


Plus it's socially acceptable to sleep in till 3pm and I love that

I enjoyed them at first, but after awhile it wore me down. I applied for a promotion but didn't get it, and after awhile it became clear that I had no long-term future with the company, so I quit and decided to go back to school.

AF, the fact that you didn't remind me that the BJs are playing a day game right now is deeply disappointing.

Encarnacion off to a flying start, too. And Hutch.
and Travis. I am pretty excited about this kid, he's never even played a AAA game and has homered in his MLB debut, so awesome

Also was not expecting Hutch to start opening night day
