For all you day workers who read my blog and have ever thought that your job is killing you, CNN.com reports today that my job really is.
According to the report "...the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer arm of the World Health Organization, will add overnight shift work as a probable carcinogen." The American Cancer Society will likely do the same.
It's not enough that my job is a pain in the ass, it could literally be giving me cancer.
CNN.com told me long ago that people who work graveyards are more likely to have health, social, relationship AND psychological problems, but this feels like a real bonus kick in the shorts.
Working after dark on a regular basis can disrupt a persons biological clock which is problematic since certain natural defenses against cancer are produced at night.
I do have a newsflash for CNN.com: I don't need any more reasons to hate my job.

In a S-Mart news letter, we all saw yesterday, it says not sleeping at night causes mental problems.
So when bullets fly, we now have an excuse.
ATTENTION: To all S-Mart looser execs who just read the above. THAT WAS A JOKE. Like your managment skills BEEEATCH!
