Whats a ghoster?
I used to quite like nights. Did nights when I did site security and when I worked for Safeway.
Safeway was hard work and cos you indoors in a lit building you didn't really realise it was night, but security was often outside in security huts etc. Boring as a shit, but cos it was relaxed and chilled, it was quite cool. I could do a lot of reading, watch films, playstation etc... But it was quite relaxing really

I used to do them all the time
Security shifts were 7am to 7pm, and 7pm to 7am, so I'd often be on 24hr shifts.... Did a shit load of 36hrs shifts too, most of the time cos other cunts didn't turn up One of my sites was great. Used to turn up 7pm Friday night, and work solid till 7am Monday morn, then have rest of the week off
Office building reception, had TV, warmth, computer, canteen (okay it was closed, but I could use the fridge, microwave, cooker etc) and a Petrol station virtually next door - couldn't ask for more!!!

Little brother does nights, and gets paid a fortune.
I'd only do them for serious money.
Did hear working nights was as bad for you as smoking - something to do with body designed to sleep when dark.
