    Two hours?? C'mon, you're a young guy!! Home from work, grab some dinner, play with the kids and get them in bed by 8pm (or maybe Mama gives them baths...) out to flog the '40 till 1:30 or 2am, maybe sneaking in for a greasy good night kiss for the kiddos and Mama. Five to six quality hours a night, 29 nights.....

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Second shift is the WORST, especially if like it sounds there's not a third shift to take over! I feel for you
