Living the Life on the Public Payroll

A little more than a year ago, I switched from working a daytime schedule to working nights. So instead of working 9:30 to 6:30, I now work 1:30 to 10:30. There is one major difference I've found from the switch, good luck trying to find someone in a public official capacity to do an interview. When you come in in the morning, you can usually call their office and catch them to set up an interview. But now that I come in at 1:30pm, it's sometimes downright impossible to catch them. You always get the line, "They've gone for the rest of the day, but they will be back in the morning." That's great, but I won't be here in the morning. I wish I could knock off after about 4 hours.
