[bg;EN] Бухали на нощна смяна *** Owls on the Night Shift

Във войската ни викаха бухали, защото давахме много нощни смени.

I смяна: 07:00–13:00;
II смяна: 13:00–19:00 („малоумка“, защото прави мозъка на киша);
III смяна: 19:00–01:00;
IV смяна: 01:00–07:00.

По правилата трябваше да даваме по една смяна на денонощие, но често давахме двойни смени: I/III или II/IV, а се случваше и III-IV, 12 часа наведнъж!

In the army they called us owls, as we did a lot of night shifts.

1st shift: 07:00–13:00;
2nd shift: 13:00–19:00 ("dim-witted", because it turns the brain into slush);
3rd shift: 19:00–01:00;
4th shift: 01:00–07:00.

By the book we were supposed to be on a single shift per 24 hours, but we often did double shifts: 1/3 or 2/4, and 3-4 also happened, 12 hours non-stop!
