There are many places that have different shifts that an employee can work; many times, this includes the infamous "overnight shift." Here are a few signs that you might work overnight shifts.

1. You are aware that you are a different breed of human.

2. Even on your nights off, you find yourself staying up until 4 a.m.

You just can't get yourself to fall asleep at a "normal" time.

3. Conversations change once day crew leaves.

Sometimes you find yourself having the most perverted conversation ever or one of the deepest, most meaningful conversations ever.

4. You work your a** off, despite what day crew says.

5. You have been trained on everything.

And you want to laugh at some day crew workers because they don't know how to do something so simple.

6. Going out after work is 12 hours too early for normal human beings.

Most people go out around 5 p.m., we go out about 5 a.m.

7. You get weird looks when you tell people what time your shift gets over.

8. You don't have a decent sleep schedule.

Some days you get 10 hours of sleep, and sometimes you only get three.

9. Most of your friends are your coworkers.

This is mostly just because most people can't keep up with your messed up sleep schedule.

10. You get the strangest customers.

Yeah, day crew may have a few stories about how "this one guy." But do they have stories about drug busts in the parking lot or drunk people? I think not.

11. You never know if you should say "today" instead of "tomorrow" when discussing plans.

Overall, you don't mind working overnight shifts. In fact, when you really stop to think about it, you might actually prefer it. There are less people and (slightly) less drama.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
