    So you obviously have your 10 hour break, but nobody sleeps that long. What are things to do if I wake up with 2-3 hours before my shift besides laptop/cell phone play?

    Well, you could polish the tanks on the nearest O/O's truck. Trust me, we'd all appreciate it.

    Only 2 or 3 hours that's easy to burn up, she. You wake up 5 hours early, that sucks.
