_mental_fatigue_
 

i'm tired..

again..

of everything, everyone, ...

i'm getting older, it's not getting an easier..

i used to be able to finish projects that i started,
listen to complete albums, not fall asleep during movies..

and now i complain about the neighbors upstairs
making too much noise, when i'm trying to sleep !!!

what happened?

yeah, i still try to keep up.. music/movies/tv/video games..
but its so much rehashed stuff.

being alone can do that to you...

i was working night shift for about 2 months (12 midnight-8am)..

it was awesome, no one around, got to jam out to music at work..
come in wearing jeans/t-shirts... bring lots of food to snack with..

even brought some movies/tv shows to watch during the slow period.
(shhhhhh..............) ..

i liked being there, in the dark, working alone at night..[we support
a lot of international customers, and had a big project]...

now, that i'm back from vampire shift, it's hard getting used to the
daylight...and being up/eating at 'regular' hours..

i've missed this board, and keeping up with underworld...i guess i
have a lot of catching up to do..

another birthday coming up...ughhh....42...........[cool number though]..

and i did meet a few cool girls at work, that have made things very
interesting..[ok, one's married now...interesting story about that one,
and the other has a boyfriend]...oh well...

anyways, i'm going to have through myself back into trying to get
'star wars' ep 4/5 restored from film -> HD, and beefing up my
retro LCD watch collection, and buying even more obscure ebay
items from my childhood, like old handheld mattel videogames, and
crazy rubiks puzzles..

why am i rambling on like this?

i don't know..

must be mental fatigue..

try meditation.

Everyone I've known who has returned from the Nightshift goes through that same feeling(s).

Regular diet and a brisk walk after dinner/supper is the best bet to get you back on track.

thanks for the tips...

i was always a night owl anyways (i'm still up now @ 2:39am)..

emergency reset of your bodyclock is required - drink all day, sleep the night...

Sounds like Rogs ethos.

I'm soon switching to an evening shift myself, 4pm to 1:30am, and I don't know how I'll handle it. I'm very much a day person, and I love all of the people interaction I get at work during the day; I see soooo many people. I'm afraid I'll get lonely at work at night, working with the same 3 people, who are locked away working in thier own rooms, doing thier own thing.

We'll see what happens.

Look on the bright side, you'll have 30 minutes to get to the After Hours in your area!!!
