Default Now I want hazard pay!

I found this looking for something else. After 12 years working night shift, I figured I am pretty much screwed.

Night Work May Really Be 'Graveyard' Shift

it's ok because i read an article a couple years back that said working night shifts increases your risk of several cardiovascular diseases as well. but that's ok because i still like to work nights, i don't know were i'd be if i didn't get my daily dose of nicotine and diesel exhast. but at least i don't shoot up with steriods and the UV levels are pretty low at night i hear. gotta die sometime of something may as well enjoy the ride

quick call an ambulance to take you to the hospital! I'm sure they are not doing anything right now and will be more than happy to take you!
