I worked four years in the military, and three of those I had evening and night shifts during the holidays.

Absolutely nothing happened, no activity whatsoever - just babysitting systems deep inside a bunker. Closest I got to new year's eve was watching the fireworks through CCTV.

The last year I was on call, which was miles better, but those years definitely cemented my will to get a job with normal work hours.
