So it has been quite a change to my normal life to work on the night shift. Luckily, I work with a pretty fun crew and we keep things light hearted (usually). It is stressful and we have deadlines, but we joke around. This is especially good for me!
But it is quite weird to start work at 7 pm. There is a period of disorientation on the way to work, with people wondering if the sun is going up or down, and what day is it anyhow? On the way home, there is often a very nice sunrise, and continued confusion as to the day of the week. Payback comes when we all go out to breakfast weekly. Must be disturbing to the non-nocturnals to see a gang of winery workers eating breakfast and throwing down a few beers at 8 am.
When coupled with the unusually bright sunlight in NZ, waking up in the early afternoon to watch the airshow that is buzzing your house can be hazardous. Those first rays of sunlight made me feel like a vampire. You definitely have to ease into the sunlight.
