Yes, I'm a swing shifter till sept or so, they just decided to implement
some sort of rotating shift thing, so some of us will get a chance to see
daylight, and a few others will get to know what it's like to be part of
the 'other people'.

I don't really care if we do it on sat or sun, but sat usually seems to be
the day I'm out an about having fun, while sunday is more of a sit at
home, relax, and clean house kind of day. I'm probobly not alone in
this... Having sunday broken up by olug wouldn't be to bad. I'm betting
the people with families wouldn't agree though, but my only family is my
computers.

As I always say, there are 3 kinds of people out and about at 2 am. Cops,
drunks, and computer geeks. It's always funny to see people ask me what
I'm doing at 3 am and I respond "eating lunch". But that's mids mostly.
Swings is just as bad, only you have no social life, and the time you are
home has worse trafic. At least the bandwidth is nice at 3 am though.
