It's over now

I think that I have discovered the beauty of nights. I can only realise this at the end of them, of course, at the beginning and middle there is no beauty at all, just the long, stressful, cold 12 hours when anything can happen stretching out in front of you.
But here it is, watching the sunrise and knowing that on the way home you will pass all the people on their way to work and you are on the way home. In the middle of a set of nights this doesn't work because you know that on your way back to work the bastards will all be on their way home...This time I'm at the end of the set so I can see the beauty.

I want to be a part of it

Cheesus, it's been a while since I was here. I was away, locked in a room revising but those days are over now and it was worth it, passed the exam. In the quest to get more letters after my name than are in it I'm not doing badly and think that I can stop now.

I know I should be asleep now, but I can't. I'm sitting here at work with the buzzing lights and no place to rest my head since the on-call room has been developed into a new outpatients department so that the old one can be demolished to make way for the new PFI hospital which hasn't got approval yet. So that's why I'm here, rambling on to no one. I wondered what it must be like to be a radio DJ, it must be like this.

On the bright side, there's only 7 hours to go and then I'm off for the week and heading 'cross the way to NYC. Nice one.
