Looks like it's just thee and me at the moment, think axxxr's away trawling the 'net for nuggets of news.
It's not that kind of job as such, it's the mental health side, patients on my ward do die but not that frequently. You just get sworn at and called names rather a lot! 
You can't feel sleepy yet, it's only just past 1am! The night's young, and I've got another 6 hours to go yet

Yes, a lottery win would be nice, solve a lot of problems!
It's getting towards that 'dead' part of the night I don't like working through, from 2-5am, think the body clock's at it's all time low at this time, I'll be glad when I'm through it!

Eheeeeeeeeeeeeem . . . looks like I've been seein' my 'name' here matey 
This thread just bring back memories . . . when I frequent the Esato Forums from 12 midnight till 7-8 am the following day  That was in 2003-2004 . . .
Yeah, Samboy - Chihuahua I've advised ECS back then to 'try' betting on the lottery (as it gave me some luck years back . . . . enough amount to buy  company !) Who knows mate . . . try your luck !
@Miss UK(elele) - That German pups was just a 'joke' of course . . . I would rather like to have 'you' than those pups . . . maybe what I am feeling for you now is what they call - Puppy Love  or was that Doberman Love 
Thanks for the input too - Axxxr & Fatreg !

Evening Jojo, thought you might find your ears burning!
Hope you're well, I'll be here till about 8ish in the morning as that's when my shift ends and I'll be back home! Would probably have one last check here before turning in just to unwind a bit.

@samboy - You'll get USEDto it I tell you . . . what I just made notice was that . . . after been in that kind of sked for about 2.5 years (daily) . . . I can manage to sleep at ANY TIME I want to afterwards that will be a nice experience I tell you dude . . .
The technique is . . . try to EAT some chips, so you won't get

Chips keep you awake? I would have thought a food like that would've put you to sleep!
I think a coffee is going to be my next port of call...
@jojo - what's a 'sked'? does it mean situation?

@samboy - Yeah, Axxxr is correct . . . 'sked' = schedule mate !
@residing - That's what you call - Mid/Night Shift at my end . . . after the 7am to 4 pm - Morning Shift, then the Graveyard Shift is from 11 pm till 7 am (following day) . . . .

I'm guessing it's a 'good evening' to you residentevil! It's nearly 4am here in the UK, the dead hours as I call it as very few people seem to be up at that time!
