First Time on Night Shift

For the past couple days, myself and the chief, Ralph, have been assigned to the night shift. We shortened our shifts to 10 hours and worked from 8pm to 6am. Surprisingly the shifts went faster than expected and I was definitely able to learn as much as I can.

Some of the key life lessons that I learned during my night shift were 1. How to drive through the dark californian mountains 2. How to use the port-o-potties at 3am completely in the dark without dropping my safety glasses in the toilet.
