I remember working 12-8 for a few years. The best part was:
Eating dinner at Krystals or 7 eleven at 3 am with all of the drunks.
Being awaken by a horn blowing as you crossed the center line asleep on the way driving home.
Falling asleep at family function you were forced to go to at 10 am after working all night.
Hitting that wall around 4 or 5 am and wanting sooo bad to SSLLEEPP...
Getting home and just getting to sleep when the fucking phone would ring with some douchbag Telemarketer selling something. (I'm awake now!!)
Going back to work after your weekend 2 days off and knowing you haven't slept since the night before.
