She struggles to be on time at work but for dinners, parties, outings, she is usually late. She prefers to say, fashionably late. Being a night person and working late shifts, means late morning rise, working into the night.
nightly reflections
slow-dancing with her muse

The short intro worked well in this haibun, and the haiku was rather sumptuous, I must say. A warm, tactile haiku, each line knitting together but working cleverly and sensually on its own as well.

True … at least in some fields. I’ve found it’s better if not completely opposites though .. I think this is about the first really big difference I’ve ever discovered between us.

Ah … then not really a choice if you have to work nights now is it 😀 Anyway my personal sleeping habits also became a habit from my working days when I used to wake up to at 5:30 to catch a 7:00 train and didn’t get back home in the evenings until 6:00.

There are some real disadvantages to working night shifts .. first of all it totally upsets your whole night day relationship … and it’s pretty hard to go out for a two hour walk at night.

We’d stop at the “depanneur” (convenience store) to get a chocolate bar which we felt we deserved since we were walking it off 😉
