Working the Graveyard Shift
I’m working until 3 in the morning tonight. So today is nap day.
I already worked in a couple while I was waiting for my first class to start, and I can probably squeeze a few more in by lunchtime. I think people are beginning to wonder why I came to campus in flannel pajamas and a bath robe.
After a 6-month long epic that I don’t have the time to get involved in, I am working for SNAP (Student Nighttime Axillary Patrol), the on-campus taxi service for students who don’t want to walk in the dark.
This lends itself to all kinds of ideas for mischief.
My first, and really the most obvious idea would be to string up some Christmas lights on the inside and drag along a set of Trivial Pursuit cards. Then I’ve got my own Cash Cab, University of Florida edition.
The best part is, if they get three wrong, we say good-bye a bit early. But Discovery wouldn’t spring for the start-up cash and film crew, so I’ve had to sadly part with that idea.
Even if tonight doesn’t get me many of the thrills I’m expecting, I’m sure my second day of work will. I might have to bring some candy along with me for belligerent trick-or-treaters.
I discovered your homepage by coincidence.
Very interesting posts and well written.
I will put your site on my blogroll.
