I've been working the night shift since January. It's fine, I adjusted to it easier than I expected. It's also great because 90% of my job is to sit at my computer and not fall asleep. This is probably the closest I'm ever going to get to being paid a living wage to write.

But there's one problem I haven't been able to find an answer to: what do I do on my days(nights) off? I can't go out and do stuff because everything except Whataburger is closed (and Whataburger's parties suck). What I can do at home is limited too because I live on the second floor of a crappy apartment, and I'll absolutely keep my neighbors up all night if I move around too much. This has led four months straight of doing nothing but watching movies and playing video games on my days off. It was fun for a while, but it's finally starting to get old.

I command you to tell me how to spend my days off of work.

Go camping at parks near you where it is free to do so. Bring a hammock or some couch cushions as a bed. It's nice. Have a fire.

Get a pet
Get a friend that works thirds
talk to the people at the gas station
Sit on a street corner at night and see who stops
Cold call people from the phone book and see if anyone can guess who you are.
