I liked the job though. I worked at a supermarket after closing, unloading trucks and stocking shelves. It gave me a lot of time to think. I pretty much worked alone. I smoked way too many cigarettes though, and drank way too much bad coffee, and ate too much candy and had to listen to way too much classic rock. My stomach was a mess.
― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 12:13 (twenty-two years ago)
I'm not an easy sleeper (what with all the guilt an' all) so my life for that time involved me trying to fool my body and brain into thinking it was night time during the day, so that I could sleep.
This involved, amongst other things, heavy-duty duvets plastered against all windows to block out light, industrial-strength ear plugs, bizarre pyjama habits and war-scarred teddy bears.
When it got to the point that I was recording TV shows I didn't even like in the evening, and watching them in the morning to fool my senses, I quit. Oh, that plus the stomach ulcer "the graves" gave me too.
Another world, truly. Although stumbling home pissed up at 9am while everyone's going to work really is as great as it sounds.

A bit more than an hour before I go home.

Breakfast should be starting shortly too, so that's good.
I always try to grab a danish and a coffee on my way out the door.
I haven't even run the audit yet. lol
A guy gave me a free pizza earlier
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 23 December 2007 11:54 (eighteen years ago)
It was pretty ok.
Here comes the first of two breakfast ladies.
OK, I guess I'd better run this damn audit.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 23 December 2007 11:56 (eighteen years ago)
Maybe I'll get a bagel.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 23 December 2007 12:18 (eighteen years ago)
Nope, no bagel.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 23 December 2007 12:39 (eighteen years ago)
But I'm having a yogurt!
Well, not quite yet.
Now I'm having a yogurt.

I wish I could have had computer access when I was working graveyard shifts.

Think of the exciting commentary that might have wrought.

How's the 'gurt, Hoos?
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Sunday, 23 December 2007 12:50 (eighteen years ago)
I did this at Kinko's and at the radio station. At Kinko's, the machines would start sound like voices in the parking lot. At the station, I saw a ghost walk past the door window.

I just finished reading Batman: Year One.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 10:47 (eighteen years ago)
Also had a chocolate muffin.
Next I may start reading one of the books I was gifted this weekend. A friend got me "This is Your Brain On Music: The Science of a Human Obsession." Looks interesting.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)
you working again this morning ?
― Ste, Monday, 24 December 2007 10:49 (eighteen years ago)
(are you santa?)
― Ste, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:19 (eighteen years ago)
I am working again this morning. They're finally hiring a new guy, they just needed me to cover a couple weekends while they found/trained somebody.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:20 (eighteen years ago)
Blitzen can get really finicky, you gotta learn how to handle him.

And if you fall idle, you can always check your 'open loops':
GTD
― Bob Six, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:28 (eighteen years ago)
That's the problem, man. Now that I "get stuff done," I have a bunch of free time. Great when I want to hang with friends or whatever, but free time is not great when it's 5:00 am Christmas Eve morning and you've got all "stuff" done.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:31 (eighteen years ago)
But it makes it so I've got time to read and whatnot, so I'm not complaining.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:33 (eighteen years ago)
are you on your own?
― Ste, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:34 (eighteen years ago)
(x-post)
Yes, that's why I have a love/hate attitude to GTD. It's ok for robots - all they do in downtime is put themselves on standby.
I think the 'Life Balance software is probably healthier, but haven't explored it yet (and its $80)
― Bob Six, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:36 (eighteen years ago)
Open loops at the moment:
-Send your own xmas cards next year! Mom took your name off the family cards cause you're OLD now.
-Leave note re: direct deposit @ work.
-Leave note re: double shift (?!) @ work. (I'm getting off at 7 am this morning, and they have me scheduled to come back in at 3 pm this afternoon!)
-Article Topic: Xmas Jazz Albums
-Scotch Salmon for dinner Wed
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:36 (eighteen years ago)
Yep, just me until the breakfast ladies show up, which'll be in about twenty minutes I think. xp
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:37 (eighteen years ago)
we should have a 'post your open loops' thread
― Bob Six, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:41 (eighteen years ago)
lol
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:42 (eighteen years ago)
Ok so the boss may or may not make it in before I peace out @ 7. Should I put away the chair and put on my tie on the off chance I'll see him y/n
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:46 (eighteen years ago)
"put on my tie on"
I love the cryptic no-context notes I leave myself that I have to decode at processing time. For instance, omitted from my open loops cause I didn't know what the hell the note referred to:
-Albinos in mntns! Hick with guns?
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 11:51 (eighteen years ago)
i am back for the second half of this double

JOB
I always imagine graveyard shift is great cause you can listen to music and/or read and/or surf the net
― stevienixed, Saturday, 12 January 2008 08:53 (eighteen years ago)
It's usually great for precisely those reasons, but tonight is the night all our mismanagement issues came to a head simultaneously.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 12 January 2008 09:08 (eighteen years ago)
to wit:
-we just had ANOTHER car breakin (4th in 2 months, lost count in the two years i've been here). we still have no security cameras in the parking lot.
-i can't get ahold of our security guard. he has a history of sleeping in his car during his shift and/or using our rooms to smoke a blunt. i will never begrudge a dude for smoking a blunt, but the motherfucker that's supposed to be stopping breakins and shit is MIA. can't get him on the walkie, and i don't have his cell phone number.
-i've just called four different managers to see if someone can get me dude's cell number. none of them answered, despite their universal promises to "answer EVERY TIME YOU CALL, NO MATTER WHEN." none have called back. it's been an hour.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 12 January 2008 09:11 (eighteen years ago)
can't get him on the walkie, and i don't have his cell phone number.
i have also walked the parking lot and the floors tryna find dude and he is nowhere to be found. even our "head security" guy is not answering his fucking phone.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 12 January 2008 09:12 (eighteen years ago)
-i am locked out of the computer i need to access to do the nightly system reset/rollover.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 12 January 2008 09:14 (eighteen years ago)
i am so applying for another job elsewhere in the morning
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 12 January 2008 09:15 (eighteen years ago)

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 12 January 2008 10:54 (eighteen years ago)
i'm sure he does, but it's not the first time he's had his head in the sand while somebody's gotten broken into.
