30 days and counting. I leave CA in the first full week of September. I leave the ship on the 2nd of Sept.

Meh, the long weekend totally borked my sleeping schedule. And, since I don't start having to be a productive member of society until September I don't feel any pressing reason to correct my current night owl nature.

My only need to sleep is the fact that I need to be awake in 6 hours to go to work; I usually go to sleep at midnight or one.

Hey! It's midnight here! And I happen to be tired. However, I'm in the middle of some work that really needs to get done tonight. Hatrack breaks are helping keep me awake. *yawn*

Bah, insomnia is your friend. Or at least mine. I like the night time, all dark and quiet. If you wake up in the daytime it's all bright and glarry, and there are so many people there. Don't get me wrong, I like people...as individuals, or in small numbers, but when you get that many, you are sure to find one towering moron who's lack of anything resembeling a brain makes twenty to one hundred people late with their madcap antics.
Plus, the moon is perty.

It's ok rivka. I too should be going to bed right now. I am trying to get off this "night shift" I've been set for the past 2 and a half weeks.
"What? Ya mean I gotta work during the day now? Shoot, just when I was getting used to not seeing sunlight."
kojabu - I work on the USS Ronald Reagan. I just got orders on the 23rd of July to transfer to NY. There is a training facility there where I will be instructing for the next 3 and a half years. I have to report sometime around the 5th of October. On the trip over I will see my family for the first time in over a year. However, I will then be seperating myself from another significant person by doing all this. This is why we plan that I move her out there when I get things situated.
Sad part is is that I haven't even been able to tell her about my transfer. I was out to sea when I got the orders. If I start posting from a hospital....you'll know why . I wouldn't blame her.

At least you have an excuse. I don't work night shift. I merely burn the candle at all three ends. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

Stone, I don't mind insomnia when I know I'll be able to sleep the next day. I mind it terribly when aside from these brief bouts of not being able to sleep and I actually have energy, I'm incredibly tired all day every day.
Starr, forums are just so addictive.
Stan, I hope it all works out with that. Posts: 2867 | Registered: May 2005

Stone_Wolf_ read my mind! (Empty and scary in there, right?) But yeah, that's how I feel, too. I worked the night shift for years. I like the quiet of the night.

Yes, but now that I am back in port, I do have Wednesday off. Then duty on Thurs. Then work day on Fri. Then go out to sea again the following week for another couple of weeks. At least we are stopping in Santa Barbara(sp?).
Hah! My last out to sea with these guys! I won't miss them all, but some I will.

'tis true. And once I finally go to bed, I'll lie there and read my book for about 1/2 an hour... . Nice to read when everyone else is asleep. No "Mom, help me ____" or "Hon, where's my ___ ?"

Actually one of the reasons why I got back up (I tried the sleeping thing for a bit) was because I do my "best" thinking right before I go to sleep. Tonight there were some random thoughts that I wanted to write down, but I ended up not writing anything and instead started posting on Hatrack again.

It's the addiction. I got this great 12 step program. Once I start using it myself I will be free of the addiction.....Now if I could just find that book.....

rivka, this has nothing to do with anything, but we have the same name, only mine's not in Hebrew.

I'm tired. I am in Central and work until midnight, but I'm usually too... something to sleep. Today I was too busy. Now I'm finishing the stuff I need to get done and then sleep.

I think I'm in EST. Only my state doesn't do the whole DST so it is an hour earlier here. I hope I got that right. Indiana still confuses me.

Edit: The superhero identity is to hide my true, real life identity. And the fact that you can slightly alter my last name to get Batman makes it the most logical superhero to become.
