Who all's here?

[Abelman]

It seems like no one is here, but a few insomniacs and Neoma frantically posting the way out of the 700 club.

You guys up for Pictionary or something?

[JohnKleeb]

1. insomniac? not this night

its more of sleeping fuck up, I went to bed at 7 with the intention of waking up at 2 to study for a chem test, and I haven't been back to sleep since.

[Abelman]

2. s'cool

What time is it where you're at? It's only 1:10am in Alaska!

[JohnKleeb]

4. 5:17

I start school in two hours, I am gonna be getting ready for that in a half hour or so, so I can hopefully have breakfast which is so hard to come by with me always rushing. You mean people actually live in alaska ;) other than polar bears?

[Abelman]

5. Don't be a wiseguy

Polar bears aren't people!

[JohnKleeb]

10. they aren't?

but I am a wiseguy :shrug:

[Abelman]

11. Crazy Polar Bears

With their fezzes and Vespas.

[JohnKleeb]

12. are they really cokeheads?

[Abelman]

13. None that I know of

they suck down the occasional blunt, but they avoid the nose candy.

It's mostly just the tricked out Vespas to worry about. They don't show you that stuff in the commercials.

[JohnKleeb]

15. silly bears

3. I just left...

I was up late because I was at the doctor today and got some drugs that made me sleep until a couple hours ago. But then I started feeling groggy again and I went to bed a few minutes ago. I'm probably asleep by now...

Too bad, I'll have put off pictionary for now. But it sounds like future fun, that or a rousing round of charades.

[Hello_Kitty]

6. Working the night shift

I was not on board for the past 3 hours b/c I actually had some work to do, for once. But I'm back.

[Abelman]

8. Crazy work

What do you do?

[Hello_Kitty]

14. Semi-conductor manufacturing

I work in the automated wafer handling systems. So I only have something to do if the robots ain't moving the lots of wafers. Which means I either have tons to do, or nothing.

[tavalon]

16. Tonight is my night off

but as a nightshifter, I don't switch my schedule to daytime on the days I'm off. I sleep between 8am - 4pm every day.

[Historic NY]

18. I try to do that too but really end up with a screwed up sleep/wake cycle.

Was up all night last evening, slept for a couple of hours woke up and am at it again. I zzzzzz'd out for 4 hrs an am up again here. I will definitely have to get some sleep later today.

[tavalon]

19. Ah, so my fellow nightstalker,

you have not discovered the wonders of melatonin supplements and a light box, have you?

[Historic NY]

32. Oh yes, working up to melatonin for winter season.

One has to change things around once in a while. The melatonin works for a bit then its so, so. Done the PM routine, now I use the plain stuff simply sleep for those difficult days. I used to do a few cocktails in the am but thats only a crutch and I've tapered off.

Still Rum & cokes sometimes work best for me until the caffine kicks in. :eyes:

Right now I'm under some family health related stress and it has thrown me for a loop. I'm glad I'll be retiring in the spring but you know once a night person always a night person.

[Timebound]

7. Insomniac, reporting for duty

Sorta...geez...its 5:21AM here.

Maybe I should just STAY up tonight. :)

[chemp]

9. Dammit

You woke me up!

Now I gotta go to work.

[Neoma]

17. yo

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. Not me.

I am just my stunt double.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Hey, I haven't seen you in awhile...

Am I blind or have you been scarce? :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. I'm not supposed to surf all day at work anymore.

:(

I still drop in, but my daily post count is now more in the 5-20 range instead of 50-100. ;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Bummer! But better some of you than none of you!

:hug: You are missed, and I am grateful that I am not blind. :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

30. Yes, blindness could make it more difficult to watch the Pack.

[terrya]

22. There are two of you!!??!!

I honestly thought that you are one of a kind. :-)

[Magrittes Pipe]

24. I thought you'd seen my vestigial conjoined twin.

:o

[terrya]

26. Oh, I certainly would have remembered that.

:-)

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. His name is Leopold the Great.

[terrya]

29. Ah, I see.

And Leopold is not modest....

[Magrittes Pipe]

31. He wears a bishop's hat, fer Chrissakes.

He sees no need for modesty.

[jdots]

25. i got my 2 hours of shitty sleep

woke up after a flash of homeless people freezing.
Pictonary sounds good.
