Reflections of the Night

OK, so it is just before 5 in the morning and I have been up all night. You might ask yourself why I would be up all night and think of things like "maybe he is stressed, maybe he drank too much caffeine, or maybe he can't get that certain someone out of his mind." But no, it is far less complicated and I am awake for work... you know those pesky nighttime concrete pours.

So as I am awake and can't talk to anyone but myself (interesting conversations by the way) I started to think about how cool it is to work at night. Everything is much more relaxed, not to mention cooler. When I get off work in the morning I have free time where others do not. I could run my errands and still be home in time to sleep the day away, something we would all like to do but don't because it is unproductive. You can also catch up on a lot of other things because you are not bothered by frequent phone calls...

That brings up a problem... You can also not reach anyone if you need to because everyone else is sleeping. Oh the dilemma...

I suppose I will just stick to working most days and the occasional night. So for all of you "people of the future" that read this later today: Hello from the past and hope your day goes well.

"People who have no weaknesses are terrible; there is no way of taking advantage of them."
