I think I've come to enjoy working on Saturday nights. It's not something I'd want to do every weekend - and it's something I won't since it's on a rotating month-long schedule that bounces between three people, meaning one month on and two months off - but it's very, very relaxed. No real bosses. No real hassles. No real pressure. Not even a fucking dress...

The weather has been so miserable lately. A spring that feels like it's been nothing but rain. I'm feeling a bit sunnier at the moment though. Still almost no appetite, but I've been sleeping better and my ability to concentrate has improved. If only my patience with people would do the same...

Not feeling much energy tonight. Still depressed, with a heavy dose of boredom after sitting around the office for eight hours with almost nothing to do. I mostly surfed Wikipedia, going from one random article to another, watch Stephen Colbert clips on his Web site and bounced back and forth between listening to Pelican and Kevin Smith's podcast.
That said, I have been sleeping better...

Can't to sleep at night, after getting home from work, without tossing and turning for an hour or more. When I finally pass out I find myself sleeping for longer and longer periods of time, or unable to get up and moving until the very last moment for me to start getting ready to go back into the office.
Yesterday was a day off. I...

I think I'm finally adjusting to the night shift. Or at least the idea of it, since I still can't seem to get to sleep before dawn or up and about before almost time to go back into work. Maybe in a larger city that would be less of a problem with people and businesses and all sorts of life going on at all hours....

Almost two weeks of my new nightshift and I'm still not quite into it. The hours are great - waking up in the afternoon and not going to sleep until dawn has always been my preferred way of life. But after almost nine years of dayshift and getting into a daywalker kind of lifestyle, I don't quite know how to live with these hours anymore....

The Wrestler...hmm. I want to see it. I suppose it may be one of those movies you see and then NEVER want to see again, like Million Dollar Baby...or that Jesus movie that mel gibson did.
as for the grave, look into whatever vitamins you can take, I think melanin or something....?

Not much time spent online or doing anything else the last few days, as I work to wrap up the final days of the dayshift and the area's afternoon newspaper, which prints its last edition Friday. I'm still trying to get into the headspace I'll need to be in for the evening shift, which I start next week. The sleep schedule is no problem since...

finding any information on thorns of life is next to impossible. i do need it to cheer me up. where did you find information on a recording? do share. it has become my new life quest. perhaps to keep my mind off the depressing reality of my lonely existence. i just want someone who understands. in my twisted mind i have that through music and words. i can hardly wait to hear it.
i think i like your job more than mine. i am sure of it.

Friday of next week will be my last day working a day shift. Due to economic harships, yada-yada-yada my company is downsizing its projects and in terms of what I do the day shift is disappearing entirely. We're taking over nights, which were handled by people with far less seniority. Those people don't have jobs anymore.

What kind of company do you work for? I ask because the way you describe it sounds very much like a job I used to have working for a publisher of trade magazines. Day/Night shifts almost totally separated with most of the senior people working the day. I left it last July and they closed down the office I worked in back in November.
Anyway, yeah, I bullet dodged. My current company has already gone through two rounds of lay-offs and I'm still there. It's like I'm Neo or something.

Headache. No energy. Reading about the MC5 and a run-in with a counterculture group called the Motherfuckers at a New York City gig way back in the day. Downloading podcasts because I'm a nerd like that and they help me pass the time at work.

I said it a few days ago, but I'll say it again...I'm addicted to Peggle. I tracked down a copy of Peggle: Dual Shot for the DS at Toys R Us today and still ended up at a friends apartment, playing the game on his 360. So simply and so brilliant at the same time.
