"Why are you up late/early?" thread...

[vx220]

I'm sure we had one of these before?

Anyway, for insomniacs, night-shifters, hammering-frozen-sausages-into-my-neighbours-lawners or some-other-reasoners, your thread has arrived

Why are you up at this ungodly hour?

I'm sitting watching an unchanging cctv image in a kid's home, trying to find inspiration to turn the next page on my NVQ booklet...

...got to be someone out there who's awake and having a better time than me!?!?!?

Does "in America at the moment" count?

My body clock as decided that 7 pm - 3 am is a good time to sleep, and I don't fight it.

Same here

[vx220]

What about tonight?

[skinnyman]

Nights at work. Hopefully it goes better than last night. Got in @ 4am, baby wakes up @ 4:30am, means I'm up with her until she goes back to sleep @ 6am, then @ 6:30am as I'm drifting off, the other one wakes up for the day, so I'm up and downstairs sorting his breakfast etc. I end up skipping my sleep for the day, but eventually crashed out @ 3pm for a few hours before back to work @ 6pm.

We work odd nights here, 6pm-3:30am

I don't have a life, so stay up late and get up eventually....

Headphones on - Willie Nelson 'Spirit' soothing me & reading P/H

[XJSJohn]

Just arrived in the Orifice to start the day .... 0900 here!

[vx220]

Unsure if we should allow you foreign types in!?

My shift starts at 15:30, but as I usually only do one night-waking a week I don't usually get any sleep beforehand, so I've been up since 06:30! I won't get home until 08:00, then I'll grab a couple of hours sleep spooning the Westie...

I have just finished making these for a client:



As I type he is driving to London (from Dover) to give them to his customer who can then finish building their bike for the Bike Shed Docklands exhibition which starts in seven hours!!

Very nice. Much rather be doing something like that for work, however I am a disaster with anything mechanical!

[PurpleMoonlight]

That's quite some cup holder.



Same old, same old for me.

On a break in between jobs one of the great perks of owning your own taxi company is you get to come out and cover all the stuff at ungodly hours
