Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

Sounds like a good idea @Kurra, telling the supervisor and having a day off. Sounds like you need a rest from it all.

Thanks for the laugh @TAB and chat.
Thanks @Decadian and @Former-Member for chatting and being so kind. Hope I didn't forget anyone. Getting tired now. It's good to have a cry sometimes. I hope we can all get better together that would be nice. We deserve it, don't we?
Night night everyone. Sending love and hugs. 😴💜😊

Sending love and hugs @Former-Member

It is good to chat - and weep at times

There is no shame in weeping - when we shed tears they contain a hormone that makes us sad - so we let out more than tears - we actually let the sadness flow out too

Good night and sleep well

11 years @Former-Member
Quite a few years longer than the other person. I'm not ready to retire yet. Chronologically I might be at retirement age but I'm not ready yet and frankly I'm too young in spirit to do so.

According to my pdoc working keeps me safe and it does. It also keeps me young.

@TAB
I've got forklift work to do tomorrow. I'll turn a hand to whatever needs doing. I've had to get a variety of tickets. It helps having grown up on the land in a remote area.

Nice, Sounds like it should be cruisy. Don't let thoughts/other person rain on your day/work life @Kurra

Re: Night Shift

It really got to me today @TAB and I'm angry with me. I've got a number of mates who've got my back and they'll put a boot in my backside if necessary.

I can't say much about work. It's in an area that can be very ugly and is also really sensitive stuff. I really love the work and the department.

I'd better hit the sack if I'm going to be up by 4.30 tomorrow morning. I just hope I can stay still long enough to get some sleep.

Enjoy your time in Perth or wherever you are niw.
