Doing a one-eighty.
I had to work last night, from 11 pm til 7 am. When I pulled out of the parking lot in front of my house somewhere around 10:30 pm, the sun had just sunk under the horizon - I could still see the luminiscent aftermath of it's presence. When I, some nine hours later, pulled out of the parking lot in front of the company I work for, the sun was just peeking over the opposite horizon, gradually illuminating the road ahead of me.
It was then that I realised something.
In those few hours, while I was lugging boxes around a warehouse, having a mental breakdown (I have at least one every nightshift), lugging some more boxes around and not so patiently awaiting the end of my shift ..
.. the entire Earth, all 6,000 yottagrams of it, rotated its 4.57 billion year old self a full 180º.
Pretty amazing, when you think about it. After I realised that, I suddenly didn't feel so tired anymore.
Cheers

So what you are saying is that you were really bored, since you started thinking about that. :-)
The sun sets at 1030 over there? Sheesh, it's usually down by 6 or 7 at the latest here *lol*.
