Graveyard Blues
I hate Graveyard Shifts. They make me lose my cool and cause my stomach to go grumble grumble at odd hours. My body clock goes haywire and despite all my attempts to sleep during the day, I am only able to do so in fits and starts.
The vicious cycle returns every 12 days. Horrible, isn't it? My life's come down to this - Working for four nights on the graveyard shift.
Call-centre people please don't complain that you do this all the time - You guys get double my salary!
The only good thing - I spend hours on the Net in office updating my blogs, shooting off emails to acquaintances, checking out interesting sites... which is not possible at home given that my PC has been consigned to RepairLand with no immediate plans of returning.

Ugh! Here's an ancient picture of me many many years ago when I was a teenager writing for the now defunct Zatang website.Funny I don't have any other pic of mine on the internet yet. And have realised that if I don't want to scare prospective wives away, will have to do something about it soon.
Until then, kindly feel free to ogle at the Zzar for Pen and Paper.
