Here I am goofing around on this app cause I don't have anything better to do. Not a lot of people seem to want a sub in the middle of the night, so it gets pretty boring. So what do you like to do for entertainment when you got nothing better to do?

I used to work 6pm to 6am for 3 years before I was able to transfer to day shift. We would be separated by several hundred meters of robotic lines processing silicone semi-conductor products. We wore spacesuits and there would only be like 12 people on night shift to test prototypes. We were not allowed to bring our phones into the fabs. So we would use our terminals to message each other. If no one was in front of the terminal, you were out of luck. you felt like you were alone on a spacestation. it was a lonely 12 hour shift.

Since you are a working student, would it not behoove you to take some reading material relevant to your studies and read, read, read, study, study, study.?????focus young sir! OK, that's the mom in me coming out.
I wish you all the best outcomes in your chosen profession.:thumbsup:

I'll bet, if you tell your supervisor,
that you're busy playing on the interwebz
instead of working during "on the clock" time,
your supervisor can find something for you to do


Yanno? So you're not bored anymore.

I work the midnight shift and it is truly hard to get used to but I am lucky during the tourist season it is non stop so the night passes fast.

Haha. I wish, as it is I already do more than the other overnight person. Besides if the owner actually paid me what I am worth I would start going the extra mile all the time. Now I just do extra things to cure my boredom... there really is not a lot to do at a Subway.

My step-son owns a restaurant.. His go to phrase is: If you have time to lean, you have time to clean..

There comes a time where you run out of things to clean
