Returning From the Morning Shift or Why the Hell am I not in Bed?

I just got home from working the 4am shift today. This is after having worked until 11pm last night. 5 hours between shifts... why the hell did I agree to that again????? Oh well, at least I was able to finish reading my book last night at work (it's real quiet at the Cross-dock location, which is where I was last night). The book was "Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labour in the American Black Market" by Eric Scholsser of "Fast Food Nation" fame. It was a quick, yet entertaining read. I learned all about how the porn industry, up until the late 80's, was essentially controlled by one guy, the massive proliferation of illegal immigrants in the California agriculture industry, and the insane punishments for marijuana use and possession in certain U.S. states. While not directly applicable to life here in Canada, there is still great benefit in reading about it. Even if only for the obscure facts that aren't made readily available in the mainstream. When I feel more up to it, I'll write some down here. I have to work the morning shift again Sunday morning, but it won't be as bad because I am going to sleep late today and just stay up for work tomorrow... kinda like last week! Man, it's the circle of life in practice!
