Closing time....

[plantlvr]

Remember that song?
Well I've had the closing shift at my store the last two nights and it SUX, cus I'm a morning person. Plus not a lot of plant customers shopping that late.
But what IS cool is I'm just vapin away as I go about the night! It made the torture of wanting to be home in bed a lot more bearable

Glad you got home and to bed! I always hated closing the store! As you can see I am up! Mike went fishing with his friend..of course there were 19 things he couldn't find..so I am awake!

Remember that song?

Yea... sure - does that mean that now "the Johnny Walker wisdom is running high" at your place?

I hope they put you back on days soon.The night shift can be so boring,lol.

Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the world.
Closing time - turn the lights up over every boy and every girl.
Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer.
Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

Did you know that song was actually about the birth of his daughter...

Can't imagine anything more boring....the minutes must drag on like hours. Best time to be in the plant department is when the store opens, especially weekends. Everybody is happy, the weather is awesome, hopefully the Colorspot rep has just delivered and made the tables look full and colorful. (I miss that)

Am I the only one here old enough to remember: "Anyone who believes the dead can't come back to life has never seen this place at closing time."

Where does that come from? I love this!

I have no idea what its origin is -- it was an old saw when I first heard it nearly half a century ago.

I seem to remember something like that, and it's a apt description what my store is like at night!
We have a new computerized scheduling system that sux, so it's either 2pm to 11pm, or 5:30am to 2:30 pm. Guess who switched this Sat for that shift

I remember graveyard shifts...guess that's a bad thing to call it in a hospital Long, long, LONG hours of boredom and a few short minutes of absolute terror and mayhem! But, got lots of reading done before and after emergencies! Plus...do you know how spooky a hospital is in the dead of night? Another bad choice of words <sigh>

You're the lucky winner, right? And everybody else is soooo jealous? LOL

Same here, and it's as true today as it was way back when.

I remember that canister, ah dude, no the two finger lid was in that one, Mr. Natural in the other....

Hey I'm a early 70's survivor and still semi funkuating!

I'm the winner all right, but it took good old American willpower to get my way! I herded those managers like a Aussie cattle dog

I worked 3rd shift at a hospital. Try delivering records to the prisoner unit at 3am!! Prisoners handcuffed to wheelchairs...guards with guns...hospital rooms with bulletproof glass and bars on the windows! Definitely creepy!! Or having mental/medicated people lose their way and wander through the halls. One time was especially creepy, all these doors were closed down the hallway, doors that had never been there before, then I opened one an saw several firemen all decked out in full uniform/facemasks!! Enough to make a person stop watching horror movies for life!
And the best part of all...delivering records to the morgue, alone...and then realizing you recognize the name on the chart This was my first real job. Definitely exciting! And I have to admit that I liked it despite it's creepyness!
