Late night productivity

Once a week I am forced to stay up way past any decent person’s bedtime (about 4 or 5am) in order to force myself to sleep during the day so that I can work through the night. I only do this once a week because I work 3 nights in a row and then go back to a somewhat normal sleep schedule. I have been wanting to blog about this experience for awhile now because I think it’s very strange and worth sharing. Mind you I am writing this very post at 4am so I apologize right now if any of it doesn’t make sense  

I think the main thing is that I’m sitting on the couch wasting time while everyone else is sleeping. Which is so weird because it honestly feels like I am sneaking around doing something I shouldn’t be doing. Like any minute my mom is going to barge in and tell me to “get to bed this instant young lady” I also feel extremely guilty because I feel like I should be doing housework or being productive in some way but unfortunately it’s THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT and I don’t think the family would appreciate me making a huge racket! And then there is the whole eating thing which is also very strange because since I will be sleeping during the day I miss out on breakfast and lunch so I have to eat something but once again cooking up a storm in the kitchen is not gonna happen so I usually just end up eating snack food which is so annoying and unsatisfying!

I have asked some of the people I work with if they find it strange but most of them don’t have families or have the ability to sleep on command so they pretty much live there lives as night owls or just cat nap all the time. Neither of these are options for me so for now I will just have to live with it until I can get enough experience to move up the ranks, which will hopefully be soon!

I will say that after a couple weeks of wasting time watching pretty much everything hulu.com had to offer, I started using the time to learn more about photography and just recently I’ve been trying to learn about css editing, which is what you use for web design. I definitely don’t plan on getting crazy with this but I’ve been wanting to give my blog a face-lift and I didn’t want to pay for it so I am training myself, hence the somewhat new look! There is hopefully more to come but I excited about what I’ve learned so far!
