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.

Ahh I'm glad it's all coming together @TAB.
Ohhh centrelink is so frustrating, & deliberately make it confusing I think to keep everyone in a state of 'flux'.
Many a time I've spoken to them on the phone.
No wonder people give up!
Time for a cuppa or beer 😊❤☕🍺✅✅

Re: Night Shift

Lol. @TAB 😂 I'm waving back. 👋✋
Was having dinner. 😊

That's great you had a successful day and survived. Sorting problems over the phone can be so frustrating. I hate it, actually. Have spents ages sorting things with our phone company. They upgraded us to something I'd never even heard of WITHOUT my knowledge or permission. To try and solve it seemed impossible at the time. After many phone calls and visits to the office it got sorted. They didn't want to admit fault. They upgraded us to something double the price to what we have now. 😯
Anyway, that's my rave, lol. Just saying, I hear your frustration. 😀

Good you got it sorted and better still, money coming in your bank 😀

Hi @Former-Member and everyone. How's everyone's day been? 😊🌷🌸🌱🌻
