I realize that, Hell, I'm one of the few souls who are awake right now, and that gives a degree of meaning to whatever I'm working on. It means I'm spending the right amount of hours finishing various assignments and designs. Besides, it's more efficient. There's no one to distract you, and you can concentrate fully on the glow of the computer screen or the gentleness of a lightbulb, listening to some quiet Temple of the Dog on the stereo. People bustling around, scampering around trying to get everything done, bothering and annoying each other, getting more and more frustrated as they deal with more and more different people, all pissed off as well, and it just exponentially gets worse and worse until you end up with the Michael Douglassian Falling Down maniacs who drive up to a Killeen Luby's and open fire, or run through a children's school in Britain and mow down innocent students.
People are just so unpleasant to be around.
Fuck, I've been trained to be able to work in the most rowdy conditions, certainly, but it requires a great deal of blocking out. I don't need that when I work. So I do it at night. No one to deal with. And I have much more control of my atmosphere.
