After Dark Week 23
1/21-22
Ah, a day off. Last week I did a stupid thing, I looked up hotel and air fair rates to Vegas. Then I talked to Amy and Steph to see if they would cover a couple of days for me. I also talked to the manager and got a Friday off and I… Read full post »
After Dark Week 22
1/16
Well, after working 7 days in a row I now get to work another 5 days. At least there will be a big fat check at the end. And since I had been here all weekend there were no surprises when I walked in.
It seemed… Read full post »

Happy New Year! What's a better way to celebrate the New Year than doing nothing. Well I watched movies, tried to to catch up on my blog, which regular readers will know I failed miserably at, and avoided my job. Last year ended with a new employee, a new… Read full post »
After Dark Week 19
12/21
Sleep. I don't know why, maybe I was tired but I slept until 4 PM. Needless to say I didn't do anything and for once I got a full night off, no calls, no emergencies, no nothing. It was a pleasant change of pace.

Of Holidays, Head Colds and Shift changes.
I would like to apologize to my regular readers, all three of you (he he). I have been absent of late and it's not because I grew tired of the OS or stomped out in anger, it's because I have been wicked sick. Not life or death ill just really sick. … Read full post »
After Dark, Week 18
12/14
Ah, a day off. When I left the station I had tried a trick of drinking hot chocolate before I went to bed and boy did it work. I slept until 2 in the afternoon. I had plans for tomorrow so I spent the rest of the day taking care… Read full post »
After Dark Week 17
12/7
Shortly after Amy started I promised to cover her shift on the 7th. So it was off to work I go. At least this time I was prepared in advance.
When I came in there was a huge patch of ice in the parking lot. It seemed the afternoon shift… Read full post »
After Dark, Week 16

Ahhh, after being sick and then making the Thanksgiving round trip, and then going straight to work, finally two days off. My plan was to catch up on my sleep, eat, kick back and veg out. You know what they say about the best laid plans...
Ever watch a movie… Read full post »
After Dark, Week 15
Note: Sorry this blog is late but the combination of being sick, the holday, working extra shifts and the general PMS attitude of Open Salon delayed everything. :)

And we're off. Shortly after I started on the graveyard shift I asked for the Friday after Thanksgiving… Read full post »
After Dark Week 14
11/16
Yeah, it was a typical Wednesday, I slept till 4, got up and watched a few shows then ate dinner. I was right in the middle of a program when I realized it was payday and I hadn't gone for my check. The problem is that if I don't get… Read full post »
After Dark Week 13
11/9
Yeah a day off. I did my usual, I came home and went to bed. When I woke up the sun was going down so there wasn't much I could do. It was cold and the ground was covered with snow so I figured I would just stay home. The… Read full post »
After Dark, Week 12

When last we left off I was leaving work just as the storm was hitting. The wind was ripping, dust was flying, and the first flakes of snow were swirling around. I was glad to be leaving and that I had the night off. I went home and went to bed.… Read full post »
After Dark Week 11
10/26
Bwa ha ha ha ha. I woke up this afternoon and looked out the window and I was so glad it was my night off. You could tell that it had been snowing for about an hour, and it was a wet heavy snow. You're probably thinking, "Snow? Already?" but… Read full post »

Payday. Gotta love that day.
I decided to walk up to the station since I was sick last week and didn't do anything on my days off. As I turned the corner I saw a wonderful site, two tow trucks were working on the crashed trailer and maybe when… Read full post »
After Dark Week 9
10/12-13
SICK. I got home on Wednesday morning and went to bed. Around 4 in the afternoon, 10 hours later I got up. I did nothing. Around 5 AM I went to bed and got up around 4 in the afternoon again, 11 hours. I got up and did nothing. I… Read full post »
After Dark Week 8
10/5
Really, two months of this?
So a quick recap, Amy, the new coworker, got a phone call that her brother was in the hospital because he had been shot by her psycho ex boyfriend, later she found her brother had just been badly beaten. Since she wasn't going to… Read full post »
After Dark Week 7
9/28
So....honestly I didn't do anything today. I slept unit 2 then got up, watched TV, ate, screwed around on the internet and then around 4 in the morning I went to bed. I was a total sloth. This is a bad thing, I seriously need to start doing stuff again.… Read full post »
After Dark Week 6
9/21
Payday! It really is the best day of the week. Why is it on Wednesday? Beats me, all I know is there's a check. Or as I like to say, "If they didn't pay me I wouldn't come here at all". Come to think of it, since they stopped paying… Read full post »
After Dark Week 5
9/14
I am so glad I had the night off. It started raining around 6 pm and just kept going all night long. It would rain hard then taper off to a mist and then another downpour would come along. It's nights like this that people come in with the muddiest… Read full post »
Just Before Dark, errr, After Dark Week Four.
9/7
As I posted last week the chatty woman on the afternoon shift was fired. Bad for her but good for me. It looks like starting Friday I would be working the 2 to 10 shift. I just don't want anyone claiming I got her fired, but I don't really care.… Read full post »
After Dark, Week Three
8/31-9/1
One thing about working the graveyard shift is trying to keep track of the days. The average person goes to work on Monday morning and goes home on Monday night. I go to work on Monday night and go home on Tuesday morning. The average person has Saturday and Sunday… Read full post »
Walking in the dark
There are two key problems to working a graveyard shift. First is the lack of exercise and the second is even on your days off you are wide awake in the middle of the night. I found myself sitting around, watching old reruns on TV and playing on the internet so… Read full post »
After Dark, Week Two
8/25
It's 3 AM and I am wide awake, and not by choice. One of my favorite movies is Clerks, the story about a guy working at a New Jersey convenience store who has to go in on his day off. Throughout the entire film he (Dante) keeps saying the same… Read full post »
An Ode to a Grafuble on a Baschnarkle
It's very early in the morning. It's very dark. I'm tired, bored and have two hours to kill, so I wrote a poem.
