    Night shift

    Anyone else living the vampire life? How do you pass the time when the work dies down and boredom sets in?

    I'll admit....there are some nights where I run out of things to look up in the internet. I guess I don't have enough imagination.

    www.reddit.com .. the index of the internet. You will never get bored.

    Since you have an iPad, there's so many good TV shows out there that you can download, not stream.

    I have a 500gb that's got every season of over 40 different TV shows!

    Re: Night shift

    I work nightshifts about 7 shifts a month.

    Part of my job responsibilities I can surf the web or read to pass time.

    The other part of my job I cannot.
    Can't go on the web, can't take my phone out, can't sleep.
    Can't even get up to pee without getting someone to sit in for me.

    Just have to stare at the screen and wait for something to happen.

    Read a book or study something. I wasted good 8 years worth playing PC games on my laptop, and I regret that every day. Get a pair of dumbbells and exercise if you are not into studying. Just my 2 cents.

    I mess around on my ipad a lot, and yeah its quite a colossal waste of time

    I find after 2-3am that I have a real hard time concentrating enough to grasp concepts in a textbook... leisure reading is a little easier but even then, I start to nod off or find myself reading the same page over and over because my train of thought jumps the tracks and slams into a warehouse...

    the exercise idea is good though.. I already hit the gym 5-6x a week but I could always bring a skipping rope and bang out my cardio here

    Sleep. If the boss catches you, make sure that before you open your eyes you say "Amen", and claim you were just praying.
    Sleeping is my drug,
    My bed is my dealer,
    and my alarm clock
    is the police.
