I love the change, but hate the move back when I work the next day, working a 12 hour shift and working sun and mon. since it takes me an hour to drive home, I am basically walking in my front door and skipping dinner and shower and hit the sack. well really cant skip the shower, wife will make clean the sheets by hand if I did
