You work an ~8 hour (yeah, I was just trying to calculate shit because I know your time zone and stuff) shift on the weekends? I mean, I do understand working on weekends, but a shift that long?

Normally? Midnight to 5:30. But that has little to do with work and more to so with just my sleeping habits, because I've been like that for a while.

Edit: But today, since I got extra hours, I woke up at 4:30
