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.

It seems to me that you've got some healing to do @TAB before you make any major decisions.

How are you enjoying Kal? Any job prospects?

can't argue with that @Kurra re major decisions. yeah kal is kal lol. been here on and off for years. mostly short term.

Not trusting self re work atm. In my current mindset I may just end up burning more bridges.

although was sorta toying with couple days casual work. decided against it.

Still going to adelaide. got to work out finer points before leave

Re: Night Shift

Just keep on working on it @TAB
It's so easy to give up with the first knock back but try, try and try again. You might have better luck in Adelaide. Try anything and everything you can think of. Be stubborn in a way that will benefit YOU.

Do try not to let inertia prevent you from positive action for you.
