Night Crew check in v2.0

[Ah Pook]

Back with the night crew. Up but not out.

[brutal]

Damnit!

Tonight it's Opsware and network issues preventing me from completing my work.

What a crap (management) environment.

[cableguy11]

Its been a SVU kind of night for me. Hope it stays this smooth for a couple more hours.

It's been a bit of an 24 CTU kind of night for me.

Not that I'm that level of geek, but had to fix some simple keygen stuff preventing my work from progressing.

Done for the night, need to shower and get some rest.

Problem is, I don't fall asleep easily or nap well.

If I take a supplement - 2.5mg melatonin, or half of an ambien (2.5mg) it's hit or miss, and then often groggy when I awake.

Yeah, I've gotten better at taking naps, but it's still a struggle. I have to be REALLY tired to be able to nap, and even then, I still have blackout curtains that seal all around so the room is very dark along with a loud white noise generator (Lectric Fan from Amazon). If I'm looking to sleep more than 4 hours, I'll take one of the Costco brand "Sleep Aid" pills and it seems to help without leaving me groggy and foggy for the next 18 hours like benedryl, melatonin, or any other sleep aids do.

My wife works nights so our room is setup for vampires with blackout cellular shades inside the window frames and heavy curtains. I've just always had trouble falling asleep. No issues staying asleep at night, but the odd sleep patterns of the nightwork, which isn't always consistently the same hours. really messes with me.

Welp,

Back at it again tonight.

Sad thing is, I probably could have completed my failed Monday night work by making a few insignificant changes to the script input files. However, I wanted to make a point with the client.

I feel your pain- I'm on a modified shift while we replace the camera system at the Courthouse... turns out the previous install from 10 years or so ago was complete shite, so now the new install is gonna go very late tonight. Luckily I get paid to do almost nothing except help where needed like monitoring the cameras that go down and what not.

Done in 3, 2, 1...

Catching 4:00 from the back side.

Good night all!
