Ya, I've worked 3am to Noon for the past 7 years. Its almost the same shift when you have to drive 45 mins to get to work.
I feel your pain. Take your guitar with you and sing the blues brotha. 8)

I work 7pm-7:30am Sat, Sun,and mon. But i get 4 days off in a row. Been doing this for 10 years, it beats swing shift and pays more.
I work roughly 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. US Eastern coast time.
It's a long shift, and the pay's terrible. :cry:
But fortunately, as I'm in Australia it's daylight most of the time. :) (It's 7 a.m. to 10.p.m. here).
On forums this means I'm often online at the same time as US shift workers with computer access and a quiet shift. Plus the up-all-night crazies of course. They're always interesting.... :o
just wondering but teleplayer, geoo what do you guys do for a living that gives you such bad hours?
my dad used to work from 4pm-12am for several years and I would never see him, only on the weekends because we'd be asleep by the time he came home.
I work for Hertz Rent a Car as a network engineer but I support our operation in Europe. They start their day at 2am central US time, so I usually get there about an hour late (3am) and help people in England, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Ireland (seems like I am forgetting one of them). You probly didnt want that much detail did you? :lol:

I'm up because this pain in my arm and wrist is killing me. I played a full barre chord song (Beautiful sung by Christine Aguilera) and right afterwards my wrist just felt 'broken.' But it's not broken because it's not swollen. It even hurts to type this. It's the weirdest feeling. I expect the doctors will just tell me to stop using it for awhile and not be able to treat it. I've rubbed the RubA535 - Antiphlogistine - into it but the relief is only temporary. My guitar playing is definitely out of the question until this clears up. Monday I'm going to a chiropractor-homeopathic-naturopathic practitioner so I hope it'll be cleared up after that. I took Bextra before when it happened but that drug is now off the market for causing heart failures. Bloody doctors what do they know anyway?
Pray a guitar players' prayer for me tonight will ya? I need it.
