I want a day job... sometimes

Sometimes, I really love that I work at night because it gives me time to get things done.

I'm a healthier person now because I can never go out to eat. I cook all my own meals and I even started a clean diet... Mostly.

I work out 6 days a week because I have the time and energy.

I wake by the sound of my own internal alarm clock and let me tell you, there is nothing sweeter. I'm ALWAYS well rested. It's great

Most importantly, I feel great. I've never been as healthy, gotten as much needed sleep, or felt as great as I do now with my steady night job schedule.

But, my social life is incredibly scarce and some times it really gets to me. I rarely go anywhere other than work and to the grocery store. I miss out on soooo many things and it really makes me sad. People talk about getting together some nights and all I can do is pretend like I don't care that I can't go.

It's also frustrating that I can't really relate to people who work days. they're tired when I'm awake. They're awake when I'm sleeping. They want to go home when I'm ready to go out. And they go out when it's time for me to go to work.

That's really it. Those are the only bad things that I can think of at the moment. I don't know if I would want to trade my new lifestyle for a social life though.

I mean, there are two nights a week that I'm able to join everyone, so it's not like I never get to go out or be social. And I save money by not doing it as much.

I guess I really don't know what I want.
