no sleep, but it was worth it

in my new job, i have to work every other weekend, 6-11; yes, that's 6 am. amazingly enough, it hasn't turned out to be so bad getting up with the sun, being one of 4 cars out on the roads; i suppose i will be changing my tune quickly when winter hits and its dark out for the first three hours i'm up. so, with getting up quite early this morning in mind, i was met with a dilemma yesterday when i was told some friends were going to see 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', a film which i have been giddy to see, at 11.45 pm. crap...... do i go and get a few hours sleep or do i regretfully decline and see it another day. well, i think i may have mulled it over for about 1.5 seconds before making my decision. so, there it was 11.45 sitting in the theatre eagerly awaiting the start of what turned out to be an incredible movie (i wrote about it on my other blog, Alt.Critic, check it out). i got home around 2.30 or so and was met with another serious decision, do i go to bed and get less than three hours of sleep or do i stay up all night and take a nap after work? well, you can probably guess what i chose to do based on the title of this entry. i actually wasn't all that horribly tired while i was at work, though it certainly didn't take me any time to fall asleep once i got home. i slept for about three hours and must say i feel quite rested and awake, which is quite rare for me. maybe i should do this more often......
