Some of us are here at odd times! I’m usually on when it is night in the western hemisphere… I’m in Korea, so my schedule is pretty much reversed from most of yours…😃 ---

In two hours I get on a bus. This will get me to a plane which gets me to another plane which gets me to quietgirl. The world is well. ---

I work nights, so I get home around 2:15 or so. by the time I work my 8 hours, I have no desire to sleep, and I’m wired all night. That’s when I come on…the giant timespan between 2:30 and 6 am. And if I’m not on here, I’m out with Scott, because he sleeps less than I do. Once I crash around 5 usually, I’m out for a good 10 hours. Ahh, gotta love those bizarre sleeping habits. ---

I replied to every email I got about it, but never heard about it starting.) then I didn’t come back until 2-3 weeks ago. So I am only really just starting on the posting stuff. But I mostly lurk anyway. I am as crazy as most of the people here, I am just not as vocal about it. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/come-on-pander-to-the-insomniac/57094.md?page=1)
