Fortunately I don't have one.
Nice I need to go find that youtube link on the buh duh tss.

seriously, just look up "pun drum noise" and it should be among the first things to come up.
The shared netbook that Dalindra and I have seem to be dying too.

Swapping back and forth would probably make me loss my grip on reality.
This is what makes nightshift difficult. You can train yourself to take on a regular day sleeping pattern. The issue arises because 90% of folks are daytimers, and you are bound to flip flop on holidays and weekends or whenever you have time off. That was my experience as someone who worked night shift for like 9 years.
I haven't worked nightshift but I worked in a restaurant:
Woke up at 7-8 AM so I could do everything before getting to work.
Came at work at 10 AM until 4.30 PM. The boss ordered me to do shopping for the restaurant (providers won't sell to her as she owed a lot of money).
Rested about half an hour.
Back to work at 7.30 PM until 1AM (3AM on weekends).
Rested one day if the boss didn't force me to work too.
Ended really, really bad until I quit that job.
I've worked every shift imaginable, even some you couldn't imagine anyone working.
I was in charge of a snow shoveling crew for twelve years.
Yea think I'm on team doesn't sleep like your base-line person, or is really in need of seeing a medical professional...
My work-shifts are typically around 5-6 hours a day, around 9-15 pm (It's a long story but I'm considered too ill to work full-time). But I am unable to even attempt to sleep until after midnight, and my sleep feels terrible (a lot of tossing and turning, no deep sleep and so on) until around 3 am, which means my good sleep is limited to around 3 to 7-8 am.

I have heard that around the time a person starts puberty the human sleep cycle shifts 3 hours later. Then around 25-30 it shifts back. I was listening to an interview on the radio with a sleep specialist. This was not the main point of the interview, but I found it interesting.
At my job I switch shifts to train new hires. So sometimes I work 9 am to 6 pm and other weeks I work 3 pm to 3 am. The bouncing back and forth is the hardest thing for me. It does make it hard to stay in contact with the world, but the world rarely has anything good to say anyways. (really need a sarcasm font.)
Kileanna you are a morning person, nothing wrong with that. Society is built for morning people.
Though I think it is because morning people woke up first and started building. The noise woke up the night people, but we were so out of it we could not protest in an effective way.
captain yesterday, I have a friend that did snow plowing. The hours are insane, you are on call all the time. People are not happy to need the service. Often driving in horrible conditions. Thank you for being willing to do such a rough job for so many years.
Now I don't sleep many hours but I sleep well. But then I usually slept like 3 hours and didn't eat because of too much stress (not just because of work but because of personal stuff).
Getting out of all that sh*t and getting to live on my own was like being born again.
Talking of sleep, my brain lights off at 11PM. I make no sense after that (not that I make too much sense before).

That's nothing. I used to work for an organization of time travelers. I had to pull a triple shift in the same 16 hour period. Then, because some jackass manager made a paperwork error, we got caught in a temporal loop and had to do that same triple shift, like, 15 times before we could go home.
Yeah... that's how it happened... exactly...

Im a bit of a nite owl. I went from third shift 9pm-530am to second shift at 1030am-7pm. I made that change without a hitch it was pretty ideal for me. A few years later, I switched to my current job (which is salary so does allow me some flexibility) that is generally 8am-5pm. I had a hell of a time adjusting to this; A hell of a time!
I miss second shift since I tend to see concerts/movies on any given night of the week. Now that i'm older its harder for me to be out late and make it in the next day. I still do it; I mean cmon, right?
When I was 18 and my friends stayed out until dawn I already wanted to go home at 2AM,3AM was my limit. So I guess I never was a night person, not even in my youth.
Oneup Liesalot, I hope you are not saying that I lied because I didn't. I wish I did.

No... of course not... I've been told I lie a lot... which is of course not true. I mean, except that I'm excellent at everything I do so I guess if I did lie, I'd probably tell the best lies ever... yeah... maybe I am the best liar in the world... :)
I once worked 35 hours straight, or another time I worked 42 out of 48 hours (twenty hours working, six off, another twenty two hours working).
I'm a morning person, and super perky and annoying to boot. :-)
Sorry for taking it personal. It is something kinda sensitive for me and I was unsure if you meant I was lying.
I have a splitting headache and had an awful day because of it so I'm a bit «difficult» today.
I have one of those days that you could tell me that I am the most intelligent, beautiful and special person in the world and I'd probably find the way to feel offended.
Sorry to hear it! Hope you feel better soon!

I wake up easily and happy, with a lot of strength. And soaked in my own saliva. Nobody is perfect.

I know I will because it happens once every month. Sometimes I wonder if I am a woman or just lycanthropic.

I may be offline for a while. I think the hard drive on my desktop is wearing out.
That sucks!!!!
I am by nature a night person. I was always happiest staying up until 3 or 4 am and then sleeping until noon. But now that I have dogs that like to get up and go for walks in the morning, I have had to adjust my sleep schedule. Now I'm in bed before 10 pm most night, except game nights, which usually run from either 11:30 pm to 1 am, depending on how many long distance players attended.
But if not for the dogs (oh why couldn't I have adopted cats!? j/k. I love my dogs) I'd be up all night.

Ahhh nice to know I not the only one, who occasionally, wake up with a pillow (and most of my face and neck) that's soaked in my own drool. I personally blame it on...errr...vivid dreams (or maybe I was some kind dog in a former life and I pant a lot in my sleep).

I blame aliens who abduct me while I'm sleeping or a unknown ability to shapeshift into a giant slime while not awake. But all that drool cannot come from my mouth.

Actually, forget what I said earlier. I managed to reactivate my T-Mobile Hotspot. I'm back online, now.
If you still think you're having trouble with the hard drive, I recommend getting an external. A TB sized drive is about $69 dollars now, I think. They're darned handy. I have a desktop, a laptop, and an external HD. I back up everything in triplicate that way.

Do you do your own mayo or do you use premade one? I could never stand comercial mayo,don't know why.
I like some commercial mayo, Dukes and Blue Plate. Hellman's/Best mayo is tolerable, and I don't like Kraft. I detest Miracle Whip. The best commercial mayo I ever had was Nifda food service heavy mayonnaise ("heavy" = extra oil and eggs), but I try to avoid eating that much fat when I can.
I like Alton Brown's recipe for mayo, haven't tried Kenji's recipe yet. My food processor is dead, so I make due with the lesser commercial mayo.
I never have any luck with Basil.
I always have good luck with basil, but it probably just likes the hot Florida weather with plenty of sun. The coffee grounds and old (room temperature) coffee I dump at the base probably helps. It grows almost too fast for me, and gets almost 5 ft tall or so growing in an old tomato cage.

Oh, noes!
It's quite easy to make mayo by hand with a simple whisk. PM me if you want the technique/recipe
I know how to do it by hand too and it's a bit more time consuming but easy anyway. Don't you have a blender either?
I use the most simple mayo recipe:
250mL sunflower oil.
1 egg.
Salt and lemon/vinegar at one's taste.
To my taste, the more simple the better.
Currently I work six out of seven days on an overnight schedule. The seventh is usually an evening shift. It's not perfect, but trying to make a living in my area is a hard slog. I'm currently working three jobs and going to school on the side.
I'd love to get back to a morning schedule, and hopefully I will when I get my certificate
It's an older machine. I may as well start saving some money and get something like a quad core or an AMD-64.Actually, forget what I said earlier. I managed to reactivate my T-Mobile Hotspot.

Not a bad idea, but back that stuff up before it lays down on ya!
Good on ya!

I understand sometimes you feel like a lady and sometimes you feel like a wolf completely natural.

Nope, don't have a blender anymore (loaned it away to my brother's wife for margarita-making, never asked for it back). I'll keep your recipe in mind, but I'll likely wait until I get a new processor/blender. Whisking aggravates the arthritis in my hands, and I'm trying to keep pain meds to a bare minimum to avoid side-effects.

It grows almost too fast for me, and gets almost 5 ft tall or so growing in an old tomato cage.Perhaps Basil prefers slightly acidic soil, which would be provided by the grounds and old coffee.
Could be. It gets little bits of composted matter (veggie scraps and crushed eggshells) too. Whatever the secret reason, it works too well. I've seen several guides recommend planting basil and tomatoes together; I can't do that, as my basil keeps trying to crowd out the tomatoes.
Basil and tomato match nice on a dish, butboutside of it, I didn't knew.

So bad to hear that. Arthritis has been in my family since I can recall and I know how painful it can get. Specially in foggy places like Lugo.

Also, had dinner with the parents last night, and got sent home with some of mom's roast pork. This morning I stuffed most of it into grilled cheese (cheddar & parm) sandwich with some chicken & rib seasoning, sweet relish, and spicy (hot!) relish. OMG that was good.

I feel grateful of having just eaten because I'd be drooling.
