I even got a tattoo that instead of "Carpe Diem" I got "Carpe Noctem" - yup, Seize the night =) (Along with the Rod of Asclepius/Greek symbol for medicine and an EKG line that flat-lines...as a reminder that u never know whats gunna happen) <br /><br />-I once went out for a big awesome breakfast at a local truck stop with a couple other fellow night shifters, and then we went to the bar across the street from my old apartment, where I had a drink (at 0900) and promptly went home and passed out very happily. =) it was awesome.Bendy_Clutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295978616926232843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500430679334601704.post-54379799606327009492011-01-29T14:13:34.236-05:002011-01-29T14:13:34.236-05:00I (heart) night shifts as well: the people that wo...I (heart) night shifts as well: the people that work them, the lack of admins, the witching hours, the comedy that sleep-deprived delirium brings, the snacks...<br /><br />I think my favorite part is enjoying the sunrise and the fact that I am going home to a warm bed while everyone else is STRESSED and on their way TO work while balancing their coffee and cell phones behind the wheel. <br /><br />I kinda enjoy the brain-scramble as well when I get home. It's like a free buzz. <br /><br />Feck. Agreed. I love the Irishisms. I was just thinking today, "I really hope that I will be able to import the phrase 'cop on' to Canada". <br /><br />To 'cop on' is to 'get the drift. But you can say it in a harsher, more authoritative way, like, "Why didn't that mother COP ON and give her extremely FEBRILE child some tylenol??"Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500430679334601704.post-18328971829864912042011-01-29T13:24:06.816-05:002011-01-29T13:24:06.816-05:00Feck off!!

Once after a night shift, I ate a full Greek dinner before crashing from a food coma on the couch. It was awesome!Mahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860979377398925052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500430679334601704.post-14300360726317695262011-01-29T10:25:47.595-05:002011-01-29T10:25:47.595-05:00What the feck!

Haha nice word, guess I should get use to the idea of the night shift because after I graduate, I'm sure I'll be working that shift anyway. <br />If I were as tired as you, I'd probably eat that fuzz bunny too.Frazzled-Razzle-RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840442693927025940noreply@blogger.com
