So bored during the night :(

Okay I give up!  I’m trying to note people’s entries but OD is just directing me to a blank page grrr.  I’m sorry, I will get round to noting you.  It’s annoying having READ the entries but not being able to say what I think to them!

Dunno why I bother though, it’s not like my entries get read by many people.  Probably a good thing though lol.

Three weeks til I’m off to Sydney.  Can’t wait!  It’ll be nice to stay in a hotel too!  Haven’t done that in a while.  Not that we will be home much.  It’s gunna be a very quick weekend I feel.  I’m only there from the Saturday until the Monday.  I wanted to go to Endless Summer as well, but Chris hasn’t got back to my offer to go with him, so stuff him, I got better things to do with my time.

Or do I?  I’ve been awake since 2am, after what felt like an immensely long sleep.  I woke up feeling good, but I was bored.  This happens to me so much doing nightshifts 🙁  I wake up at 2am and I am bored.  And I did think of going to gym, but I’ve already been! lol.  Would it make sense to go to gym like 18 hours after I’ve already been there?  I suppose it would’ve given me something to do in the meantime.

Surely there HAVE to be other people out there my age who do what I do.  Who else works night shifts?  I guess most night-shifters are stuffed from having worked all night all week and just don’t feel like doing anything.  I usually do though!  And instead I find myself on facebook, on myspace, on msn, clicking my laptop mousepad between screens, looking for something to entertain me.  It doesn’t happen.  I can’t exactly just ring up one of my mates at 1 or 2am going ‘Hey!  Let’s hang out!’  They’d get pissed off at having been woken, plus it’s not like we can GO anywhere to DO anything as everywhere is closed or it’s too dark to do anything else without the duty cops questioning your motives about why you’re swimming in the southbank beach at 3am, and trying to phove to them you’re not only sober but not a junkie as well.

It’s annoying, and it’s lonely.  There’s only so much late-night infomercial and pathetic Gold-Coast Girl Call-Me-Now ads I can handle on TV.  Sometimes I wish I did still day shifts.  Sometimes I wish I was rostered on AT work because then at least I’d be doing something.  Having said that I am always looking forward to my days off, and I count down to when they arrive.  Then they come and I’m like ‘Oh okay then.  This is how I remember it.  No-one wants to hang out, no-one’s online and I’m back to watching repeat DVD’s with my headphones in so that my housemates can sleep.

Speaking of, there are alcohol bottles everywhere in the kitchen.  I could hear my housemates and their friends coming in at all hours of the night.  I woke up to a message on my phone from jeff asking if the music was too loud.  That was nice of him to be conscious of it.  I didn’t hear a thing.  I usually don’t.  I sleep like a log.  It’s just depressing that whilst a party WAs happening in my own house, I was asleep.  I remember I was sooo tired yesterday that i just passed out at around 4pm I think, and I woke up at 2am.  Wow that was a long sleep.  Still, nothing going on at that hour.  All that was left was the evidence of a lot of drinking and socialising going on, as the couch in the lounderoom has been turned the other way so it’s facing outside the door.  *Sigh*

I think I’m gunna have a shower and try to freshen up a bit.  Kirk’s coming over today he reckons so it’ll be good to hang out with him.  I’m not even thinking too much into it, I’m just really looking forward to the company, and I’m looking forward to dinner tonight at one of my favourite restaurants.  My mouth waters just thinking about the food there!  At least I’m not rostered on this weekend so I don’t have to serve drunk dickheads.  it hasn’t been too bad the last few weekends though.  I’m on next weekend though.

I guess I’m so lost in my life at the moment that I’ve been doing crazy things, like applying for other casual daytime positions online.  I haven’t even thought out the consequences of trying to juggle both a daytime and a night-time job at the same time.  Well I have.  I know it will involve absolutely no sleep and carrying concealer around with me in an attempt to cover up the racoon eyes that I’d be sporting at probably both workplaces.  I haven’t even got a daytime job yet, and I got rejected for the casino but somehow I don’t think I’d fit in working there anyway.  I’m definitely more of a retail experienced guy, not gaming and alcohol.  I mean I have my RSA, but I wouldn’t even know how to make a cocktail.  I applied for a job this morning that I think I’d be pretty good at, but hey, if an employer doesn’t even get past a cover letter, there’s not much chance is there?

Also been looking into online study.  It seems like the only way I’m gunna be able to get into anything.  I’m not burning the candle at both ends, but if I do happen to get into everything at the same time, it’s probably gunna be an interesting experience.
