GRAVEYARD SHIFT "At your service!"

This is my first time having this so called "graveyard shift atwork"..
Hmmm..
It's 4:51am in the morning, we start our shift from 12am and it is until 8am..
This shift quite fitted for me, but I do admit that I need to adjust my body clock as well..
I understand also that I do need to take care of my health, get enough sleep, and need to have my weekly or daily exercise, and I need also to eat healthy foods..
I am one of those excited to have this shift..
I am a nocturnal person I guess hehe.. ^_^
This is new to me, new environment as a Technical Support Specialist in a BPO company, and as in everything was new.
My journey just started.. :)
And wait!!!! there's more stories about my work in the coming days..
And I just want to thank God for giving me the strength I have today and in the previous days..
Our phone certification is coming.. February 3-5 is the said schedule of our trainor, I am excited, and nervous as well I am not a person who use to guess of what will happen there, because guessing really do add anxiety to me.. hehe
I know God and I will gonna make it!!! Aja!
Ooopppps.. breaktime is already up! I need to go back to training room.. see you guys soon.. I mean hope
that you will not get bored visiting my site!
Have a blessed morning everyone!
TRIVIA
Why is the phrase "graveyard shift" used for late-night work? Based on my research:
Current popular explanations for the origin of the phrase "graveyard shift" reference the 19th century problem of accidentally burying people who were still alive. To prevent this from happening, the story goes, caskets were equipped with a bell-ringing device enabling a waking "corpse" to notify the world that they were no longer dead. The graveyard attendants who remained vigilant throughout the day and night worked the graveyard shift. According to Michael Quinion at World Wide Words the above explanation is merely a story and nothing more. He explains that the "graveyard shift is an evocative term for the night shift between about midnight and eight in the morning, when - no matter how often you've worked it - your skin is clammy, there's sand behind your eyeballs, and the world is creepily silent, like the graveyard. The phrase dates only from the early years of the twentieth century." -reference from http://www.libraryspot.com/know/graveyard.htm
