Graveyard...Why Not?
One of the worst things in life is getting stuck with a lingering question that keeps popping in and out of your head while you go out and try to make a living for yourself. A question that goes in and out but you don’t get to answer because you are preoccupied with an activity called work. What is worst is if that question is directly related to it. In other words, a work-related question.
Let me give you an idea what I am driving at. I’ve been doing closing calls for a company for more than a year but its only now that I came to ask myself, why am I working at this unholy hour when I do have a choice of getting something that will make me a part of the “normal” yuppie crowd. Is it the pay that I am receiving? Hmm, something to ponder even more but that’s a question that can be argued upon with a few rounds of beer so let's leave that behind, shall we? Maybe there is something more! So the question now is, what makes the graveyard shift so attractive that I just want to reach out and grab it like a long lost friend?
I enlisted the help of some so-called "experts" when it comes to doing the graveyard shift and they came up with almost the same answers. Normal answers like hassle free traffic to and from the office stands to be the best reason to do graveyard. Yeah, I think they do have a very good point there. I would rather traverse the Avenue knowing that I wouldn’t get to see yuppies, old time employees and newly grads strolling along and making the beeline to the nearest building entrance. Another reason would be the less stress on your pocket. I can probably say that I can survive one shift with P20.00 in my pocket because I don’t have to worry about any parking fee and other incidentals that come along with doing a morning shift. Yes, it’s less expensive in the evening.
