Paid TV viewing.
I sometimes find these late shifts amusing. I guess this only applies to the winter months. In this industry (gambling for the ill-informed), this period is a lot quieter, which means most people would rather turn in early and close shop. I actually don’t mind covering the late shift. I get the work done early, i.e. any leftover software problems ad reports, and I get a whole night of free TV viewing. PAID!
I guess most people would prefer to have the whole evening free to indulge in the nightlife. Been there, done that and picked up the rediculously large tab. A couple of chapters nailed down from my latest carried novel, a few extra paragraphs written and more cash left over in my wallet. Shway!
