Did you ever notice the difference between most (not all, but most) people who go to first shift jobs and the rest of the world? People who get up with the sun tend to be screwed just a bit tighter than the rest of us. Let me make a clarification immediately. When I say "first shift", I'm not referring to 9-5'ers, lest they have to get up at 5am to sit in rush hour traffic. No, I'm talking about 6-2'ers, 7-3'ers. or, God help 'em, 5-1'ers. Who the hell thought up that last one?!
People who are up with the proverbial chickens tend to believe that there are specific times on the clock that are appropriate for eating, sleeping, shitting, procreating, and, yes, working. In their opinion, there is just something not right with those guys who work (dum! dum! dum!) second or even third shift. Deep in their heart of hearts, don't they all one day want to move up to first shift and be big boys? Maybe not.
What about the people who just like being up at night? Or the people who like to sleep late? The people who couldn't wait until high school was over so that they could score a second or third shift job and take the rods out of their arses!
I'm generally pretty easy. But I do find that I get more accomplished by getting up earlier. By so doing, I inevitably have to face the scrunchy tight types. Socially, they have much to learn. Maybe that's why they go to bed early--to get their beauty rest and dream of no longer being society's bitches.
