On most nights you can hear me patrolling at one of the local schools that I guard in

rotations.

It's an okay job, I guess.

I don't mind working the graveyard shift.

In fact, I prefer it.

I worked third shift at a radio station in town for years, making pretty decent money

before they started laying people off.

After that I tried to get a hold of a job during the hours of living.

While switching back to days seemed about as awkward as it did when I first started doing

nights.

So I quit.

I picked up the first sleeper shift that I could find.

When people ask me how I do it, which isn't often, as I don't talk to too many people

anymore, I say something like, what's peaceful being up here when the rest of the town

does a sleep, or I just like a little solitude.

But if I was being honest, I just like to listen to the radio.

My time radio is something special.

Those of you who regularly partake in this nocturnal pastime know exactly what I'm

talking about.

Shows like coast to coast, AM is like a cult in a lot of ways of how dedicated its listeners

are.

I prefer local radio though.
