Author Topic: Does anyone sleep around here? Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-17-2004 10:04 PM                     I notice that the board now displays time as "X:00 AM/PM CT (Y:00 AM/PM Local). That's a good feature. A lot of boards display the time as GMT and allow the user enter their local time offset. The only thing I don't like about that is that you don't know what time it was in the poster's location when he made the reply. Yes, I often haunt this board and others at odd hours. Often it's because I work late and that's the only time I have for recreation from when I'm done working until I "wind down" enough to go to sleep. Other times, It's because I get a touch of insomnia. Rather than toss and turn in bed I prefer to stay in the living room and play on the computer until I'm sleepy. Finally, I don't have cable TV, nor do I want it, so chatting on the internet is the way I prefer to get my entertainment. So what if people haunt the boards at all hours? It's actually a cool thing. If you have a question or problem or if you even just want to shoot the shit you know there's SOMEBODY out there who can answer.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-17-2004 10:17 PM                  OK OK OK ...I admit it!

Hell , even I am not up that late. 3 or 4am is my daily limit.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 03-18-2004 07:46 AM                        Being a night person, I'm MOST productive in the wee hours of the morning. I mean, hey, I'm in CA and it's a quarter to 6:00am here. I haven't been to bed yet. The night's not over until the darkness goes away. Just the way the brain works, I guess. I don't even need caffeine! Hey, the sun's coming out ... time to call it a night.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 03-21-2004 03:19 AM                        Straight for the past... month. I've went to sleep after 4 AM. And work wasn't keeping me up. A new life style I've picked up... Friends who work at the movies only have time to hang out after work. We can basically run a tab at Dennys since we go there like every weekend. Completely changed my way of living, as far as I know my old friends don't really know me anymore.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-21-2004 04:05 AM                  Jen: Ummmm...

Amateur! In my heyday, it was Denny's four or five times a week, with at least one night involving two separate locations. My friends and I were full-on regulars at five or six different Denny's ... not hard to do when they're all over the place and there's a long commute between home, work, and school. Where ELSE is finals-cramming supposed to take place? (Like we ever actually studied, though!)  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-21-2004 06:05 AM                  Brian: To repeat...who the f=uck cares?

Well my friends and I go to Denny's every day anytime we get hungry! Lately I've been coughing up some nasty yellow stuff which I don't know what it is.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-21-2004 04:49 PM                     quote: Denny's every weekend?

I think going out is having a life and if you think differently about that... well I don't care. I've been hanging out with my friends for the past month at really late hours. Where as before I'd be at home having not much of a life.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-21-2004 07:36 PM                  Just teasing ya Jen... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-21-2004 09:12 PM                     and I thought this topic meant "sleeping around" usually get back home around 1am and am up till 3 then get up at 7 check email and filmtech and out the door by 830am sleep what is that  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 03-21-2004 09:59 PM                     I usually don't get home till about 1am when I close the theatre. 11pm when my manager closes.
