I'm not sure what annoys me more about Friday night-shifts, watching people who are having fun come and go, or knowing that even if I had the night off that I wouldn't be one of them. Hey, come back! See, while I was working I kept having the same thought, "I'm way to sober to listen to this music for eight hours." If I was home I'd be bored and sober but that sounds better than annoyed and sober any day, doesn't it?
I'd also have the internet, which dulls the boredom with something mindless to do. If I have to be bored I'd rather be talking about abnormal brains or two headed cats. I've always found a mantra can get you through a painful shift, I have a supervisor who uses "I love my job." occasionally throwing a "Fucking" in there, so I just kept reminding myself "think of the booze and drugs you'll be able to buy next week when you have money." ... Hey, you know what would have made last night better...

i mostly spend my time at work chanting "no talking, no talking, no talking." it annoys whomever i'm stuck at a bar with, but it reminds me not to mouth off to the supers, and that's really the best i can hope for these days.
That one could help me too, I'm just lucky that the night supervisors are either used to my attitude or find it entertaining. I'm going to be doomed if they move me to days a few times a week like they've been saying they will... I do miss the sun though.
