Pkchukiss - Reality Wine

So it starts. NaNoWriMo has started, and I celebrated the launch of the month-long writing fiesta… by sleeping.

I had to preserve being a night owl for at least tonight, so that I can get down to finishing the remaining 2 days of my night shift.

I kind of underestimated doing a 3-night-in-a-row: it really numbed my brain, which screamed for sleep just when the clock nudges 3am in the morning. I looked pathetic, because my colleagues could hold up better than me.

It didn’t look like torture, nor did it feel like one. I feel that doing a night-shifter is a bearable proposition, but not a very pretty picture. You get the quiet of the morning, but you will also get plenty of nonsense from psychotics whom are insomniacs. Not that every customer whom calls in at 3.33am in the morning are crazy, but your opinion tends to veer when you pick up the line to hear Darth Vader on the other end.

At least I could now have something to expend my hours on, and hopefully keep my mind off the sleep deprivation. Not only should that gain me a few thousand words per night, it will let me sleep soundly when the rest of the world is still wide awake.
