The problem with working a 12-hour shift when you usually don't is that you get home dead tired but far from ready to go to bed. Accustomed to having a certain amount of time after work, you feel kind of robbed when you look at the clock and realize that you really should be sleeping by now.
Payday seems like little consolation. Money will come and go, be earned, be spent, be earned again. Look hard enough and you will find ways to get more of it. Time, on the other hand, is far more fixed a commodity. You cannot earn it back, win it back, borrow it to get you through. And I only have so much of it that I'm willing to devote to the business of making more money.
On nights like this I resent the need to sleep.
