Working 5 To 9

April 7, 2008

I have started a new job at the 24 hour service of Randstad Airport Services. The job is actually pretty nice and laid back, which I’m not used to. But, it also involves working a night shift. Hence the "24 hour service". An airport never closes, so why should an office that is responsible for people working at said airport? Seems reasonable to me. So, my alarm is going off in four hours, and I can’t get no sleep. I’m a nightcrawler, always have been. I like nights. They’re so quiet and peaceful. I’m at my best at night. So the night shift should suit me.  

PS: one of the reasons I can’t get no sleep at this ridiculous early hour may also be the f-ing car alarm that has been going off for like an hour. Car alarms are overrated. 

EDIT: All in all it wasn’t that bad. The only problem was that from 11 AM on till 3.30 PM I was knocked out. But the idea that you’ve already made money while everyone else is going to their jobs is pretty funny. This fact hit me on the train, where I saw all these agonizing, silenced faces of people going to their jobs/university. And I was going home to my warm bed. I like nights.
