I don't work "shifts". I work until the job is done. Do the math, if I arrived home at 2:15am what time did I go to work making a 22 hour day? If one cannot be out past midnight what is the allowed time to go out in the morning?
Further, if there had been a gin joint open I would have taken the whole crew out for a beer. I do what I want when I want and it is not based on what somebody's mommy told them years ago that is neither accurate or bright.
The rest of you can fear the night but I do not. Unfortunately I am too old to enjoy being out late anymore.
So now you are insulted because I used the term graveyard shift? Lighten up, dude, and stop taking every remark so personally. I'm sure you probably own the company and had to work late because tou are dedicated, and no one else cared to work 22 hours like you did.
Also, it's not "wrong" or "illegal" to go partying at night. It's just not always the bright thing to do. Do you leave your door unlocked at night, or do you surrender to fear and lock it? It's a shame the gangstas are ruining late-night partying for many. Maybe the clubs that are "safer" are not as much fun? I used to stay out late as well in my younger days. But there were relatively safe places one could go 20 years ago. And school used to be a safe place for kids. That was then; this is now.
