third

To answer Sharon's question: I work for the Merrill Corporation, doing project management assistant stuff. Lots of computer work, plus other things. I try not to talk about it too much, because some of what I do involves sensitive or confidential information, so I figure the less I talk about it, the better.

That said... It's list time!

The Best Things About Working 3rd Shift (discovered in less than one week):

1. Trader Joe's Irish Breakfast Tea with a packet of Sugar in the Raw and a splash of milk. Best way to get my morning started (at 11:00 p.m.)

2. Dress code = Casual Friday EVERYDAY!

3. Peace and quiet

4. Quirky co-workers--my guess is that you've got to be a little bit weird to enjoy working in the middle of the night

5. Leaving work a bit after dawn, cranking Flogging Molly on my car stereo, and singing loudly as I drive the opposite direction from all the people just now heading into their jobs, and thinking, this is bliss.
