The Overnight Shift
So I work the overnight shift at a web hosting company. I basically make sure the internets still work overnight, and fix them when they break.
It's very boring. I'm very bored right now.
I've added several intelligent people on SL in the hopes of some late-night conversation... but nobody's really awake right now. So, I mainly just watch House and Top Gear and Mythbusters all night.
What do all the other career insomniacs do around here?

I sit here for 12 hours every night making sure all our client's backups and their servers stay up and running. Guess I really spend 90% of the night wasting time on the internet. Coffee has become my new friend.

I think crack would actually be healthier.

To be fair, it's because your species has literally driven me to search for alternative companionship that can't talk. Six years of dating has led me to believe that, at least in Missouri, the female population has something in their water.
