I took out a loan to pay for an exorcism. If I don't pay it back, I'm going to get repossessed.

AS I posted before. If you can, find another job ASAP. Shift work leads to a shorter life. After 35 years working it and retired the pass 10 years, I STILL don't have a good sleeping pattern.
Morning people. Another real shitty night with little to no sleep. Got to much on the mind.
