Author Topic: Does anyone sleep around here? Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 03-17-2004 07:09 AM                     My gawd, I look at these post times and they are so late. Do any of you ever get to sleep? Most of the posts are between 12m and 6am EST. Figuring in the 3 hour difference to California, that would make the posts between 9pm and 3am. I haven't been awake for 3am in 3 years!!! You guys scare me Vampires maybe?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

And I generally dont get to sleep until around 3.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 03-17-2004 08:20 AM                     I sleep at the office--usually after lunch!  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 03-17-2004 08:37 AM                        I'm on Grave Yard Shift 2030hrs to 0700hrs NZT which is about 4-5hrs behind and 1 day ahead of Cal time , so this is my time to check out what is going on the Film-Tech Site and no I don't sleep around  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 03-17-2004 08:39 AM                     Well Richie, maybe your theater is open from 9-5 but most of us on here do work very late. It is not uncommon for me to be screening movies on a thursday night until 5 or 6 am, even 10 am in some cases. Also you have to take into account the time zone differences, someone in SoCal could have posted at a certain 12am and it would look like 2 or 3 am on FT since it is Central time.  |  IP: Logged William T. Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-17-2004 09:05 AM                     Sleep? WTF is that? I work two full time jobs and I am up from 6:30 am to 1:30 - 3:30 am the following morning Monday through Friday. On a good night during that time I get maybe 4.5 hours of rest. Saturday work from 11:00 am to 6:00 p.m. then work helping a small town theatre trying to get remodeled and reopened.... And Yes I have no Life, before you ask.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-17-2004 09:30 AM                     This is New York City.

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-17-2004 05:08 PM                     If I'm lucky I'll get around 5 or 6 hours of sleep on any given weeknight. It's not like I have a wife or kids to keep me deprived of sleep either. Just broadband Internet access, hundreds of channels of satellite TV, home theater, computer games --not to mention a number of freelance graphics projects-- and a generally short attention span. So I expect to have the usual thing happen tonight. I'll be busy doing all kinds of unproductive shit and then realize, "oh shit, it's 1:30 in the morning!"  |  IP: Logged Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 03-17-2004 06:32 PM                     I didn't think anyone in the movie biz went to bed before 3am.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-17-2004 06:38 PM                     #1 I live in Vegas #2 I will sleep when I am dead  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-17-2004 08:01 PM                        I agree that it is fun to be nonproductive late at night and into the morning. I wish I could do away with sleep altogether... except when I'm bored. And then I will remain asleep until the next fun thing happens.  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 03-17-2004 09:37 PM                     Joe-- That makes sense! fjn  |  IP: Logged
