3/20/09 - Overnight Shift
21 March 2009 | By dillon-kgmi in UncategorizedHere I am, working the overnight on KGMI, getting programs ready for the weekend and making sure the station (not to mention KPUG, KBAI, KAFE and KISM) stay on the air. Exciting stuff, I know.
I don’t know how you graveyard shift people do it, but I know there’s a lot of you out there. My goal right now is not to sound like a groggy fool when I’m on the air. But don’t be fooled, I am a groggy fool right about now. Gimme some more caffeine. I don’t even have any friends who are online on Facebook right now… sounds like a great Friday night (wait, Saturday morning), huh?
Okay, I’ll quit whining. It is the first day of spring, for crying out loud.
I know it’s lame to talk about the weather, but I am a self-proclaimed weather junkie, and the long-range forecast I check online says we might have some weather as warm as the 70s the first week of April. Key word there: MIGHT. But we can hope.
So, I’ll keep telling myself, the spring weather IS going to arrive eventually.
Right now, though, I’m just waiting for daylight, rain or shine.

SO there IS an overnight shift there!
Howya liking it so far? It takes some getting used to. There isn’t much of a social life at nighttime but in some ways this is good, quietness, and the traffic out there is calm and lets you drive at the speed limit. I don’t get out much at Daytime but from what I’ve seen I’d trade in my nightshift for very little other than a better job lol, even better if it too is graveyard shift. You can get alot more thinking done when your main office lighting is the moon.
