Extra post... This one doesn't count as a daily :)

This is an extra post... just a little something that I wanted to throw on here to educate you lovely people that may be reading this.. I think there are actually only 2 right now, but in the future there may be more.. lol.. but OK...

If you know somebody that is working 3rd shift... don't call them when it is time for them to sleep... Lets do the math people... if you go to bed at 10pm and get up at 6am that is 8 hours...right... so if the person you know says that they go to bed at 9am... don't call them before 5pm... 8 hours... they probably won't sleep that long, but give them the benefit... if you call them at noon and try to have a conversation with them... YOU ARE A JERK... If you call them and wake them up and then ask them to do you a favor... OMG... you are the biggest jerk on the planet... Cause really... do the math again... you just called them at 1am... yup... jerk...

There are exceptions to the being awake rule... if you have made arraignments prior for the 3rd shifter to be awake... then that is fine, they have agreed and that is on them... But don't call and ask them to get up and do stuff for you... do they call you at 1am and ask you to bring them stuff? Or for a ride? or whatever??? I don't think so... think about it...

3rd shifters eat at different times than other people... they are not being rude when they turn down your yummy dinner, they probably just had a big bowl of cereal... If you want to feed a 3rd shifter, give them a couple days warning, they will probably be happy to eat with you, they just need to know not to eat before they come to your house... cause when you say "Hey, you want to come over about 6 tomorrow?" they say yes because they wake up at 4-5pm... You are thinking it is dinner time, they are thinking that they will have enough time to wake up, eat breakfast, have coffee, shower and get motivated enough to get out of the house and go visit... they are not thinking about the fact that you will have just slaved over the stove for 3 hours...

When 3rd shifters have the day off you may have to remind them that it is time to go home.. they just don't notice that it is bed time... for you anyways... so when you are getting tired, say something.. they won't get upset... lol...

3rd shifters just don't remember what day it is... they just don't... (or maybe that is my A.D.D.) so when they keep asking you everyday if it is Friday, Wednesday, Monday... whatever day... please don't get mad... they really don't know... lol

I am not sure if 3rd shift makes people have a weird sense of humor, or if you have to have a weird sense of humor to work 3rd shift... but oh well..

OK... I just thought that I should throw those few things out there.. you all have a super night!!
