Retired night owl here. Used an alarm clock most of my life. No Mas. When I gave a month’s notice to my last job, I was asked, over and over and over “what are you going to do?” My very first answer was always “sleep in.”

Worked graveyard shift at Safeway grocery store in my 20’s. Very strange. On your day off, you return to sleeping at night, like most humans. The next graveyard shift is hard.

They don’t use the term ‘graveyard shift’ in hospitals. Probably a good thing.

I “retired” in 2016.... joke was on me!

I guess I’m like a shark. Swim or sink.

I don’t think I will ever retire, but I’m OK with that.

It’s gig work here. Sometimes I go early and stay late and vici versi. We rotate and swap shifts Sometimes.

Food and coffee are key.
