Night Pounder

To AM or to PM? This is the question often asked at work. Well, most newbies get to go to the PM shift but most people prefer working in the morning.
This is the first time that I go somewhere at night on a regular basis. When I heard that we will have morning and night shift, I had no complaints; I don't know how I do when the sun is already shining in the West and when the moon is flaunting in the bejeweled sky. Many people quit PM shift. That's why the morning shift is jam-packed with tutors while the evening contains easy-to-count sheep.
My body clock adapted the new schedule ever since the first day---I mean, afternoon. I would wake up around 9:30AM and have my brunch and then work, dinner, work, home, and stuff I do before sleep. My meals developed from breakfast-lunch-snack-dinner to brunch-snack-dinner-midnight lunch. My sleeping time evolved from 10 in the evening to two in the morning. It has become a routine and somehow, I don't find any boredom (probably, the funny essays keep me up haha!)
One of the best things about the PM shift is that I am not challenged in spending money after work. Of course, malls are closed around midnight. Our building is actually near Ayala malls and that surely is a huge temptation.
But I used to always be a morning person. I love watching prime time shows, hanging out at malls (though I still do this everyday before work,) meeting friends in the evening, and doing a lot of stuff. I was used to getting up in the morning. It was no problem for me because when I wake up during those times, I felt the obligations I had for that day and those move me off the bed.
The fun thing about the night shift is not getting up early. Especially, this season. Mornings are still cold and whatever time I get up, I find no need for haste. It's fun; I get to extend my trip to dreamland.
But then, I realized: I can do more if I work in the morning. Imagine the longer time I can possess in the afternoon if I work in the AM shift. There are also jobs that I want to do in the afternoon like becoming a freelance writer. It's my dream. Imagine the time I can have for hanging out with friends in the afternoon and evening. Imagine... Imagine... Gotta stop imagining fora while.
There isn't any available slot for the AM shift. And even if there is, others are racing for it. I don't like being in the bandwagon most of the time. So for now, I enjoy pounding on the keyboards with the moon smiling above my head.
Happiness!
