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.

Hi @BlueBells

I have some German Jews in my family tree - I find this incredibly interesting

My Irish background is Northern Irish - from the little I know my mother's family came from Belfast and went to New Zealand to escape the potato famine - from the little I know

It's interesting that Australian English is thought to be the purest form of English - I will have to look into that - I will have to consider what a pure form of a language really is

One of the worst places I have been for public toilets has to be Flinders Street Station - will I be red-lighted saying that? - little stainless steel bowls - people need to know to be prepared for target practise - so small - and there is toilet paper - usually spread all over the floor - and so flimsy - and you can only get one sheet at a time - Wow - having Mum and Gran insisting we all go before we left home and to hang on was good training

Dec - wondering how to be discrete carrying a toilet roll around in public :S

Hi @Shaz51

I hope that blood test is okay - is there anything suspected or is this just of those tests that doctors need to run from time to time

Did your husband forgetting his medication cause any kind of difficulties for you during the day - or by going to bed as soon as you got home?

I hope the blood test is okay - you have enough happening without adding too things

Re: Night Shift

haha @Decadianre flinders st station.. railway station toilets also have a deservedly bad rep for a place for unwanted attention from members of same sex, had that happen at flinders st station in 80s lol

Re: Night Shift

I wouldn't know @TAB

The last place I would ever seek company from anyone is in a public toilet at Flinders Street Station

Re: Night Shift

I would assume you are of the opposite sex @Decadian and no, I was not looking. I just thought toilet cubicles were a private place and for a specific purpose. That's all. Others seem to have had different thoughts that's all.

Re: Night Shift

Flinders and Spencer (Southern Cross) both leave a bit to be desired, but Flinders...I avoid if I can 🙂

Seems architects don't take into account that many passengers have bags of some type, and so awkward trying to get in/out with them.

Add the fact that the floors........hahahaha
