aw buck up jeffe... As long as I have insomnia I have to work(or I go insane) so I guesse I could consider myself in the graveyard shift too...Currently I'm working on making calendars(with certain dates marked) for my mother to give to all her hormone replacement patients so they know when and how much mediciine to take... man it's boring...

Luckily, working out the shifts I got some very nice ones. It helps that the Helpdesk is closed at night. So basically, that schedule sucks.

it's official, I've been awake for 26 hours... I feel sorry for morgane who hung out and kept me company all night, though she did get about 5 hours of sleep.
