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

Just was on other thread.

I went for an audition yesterday ... at ABC .. @TAB was being synchronist as he kept mentioning ABC ... Wooo Woooo

It went ok .. 75 %

I was told I was not suitable but they kept saying they would give feedback.

So now I feel I got a backhanded compliment .. they told me to join an Opera chorus ..

@Appleblossom

Yeah ... sounds like they really like your voice / skill / training .... just not what they wanted for this gig ....

Well, if they use word of mouth recommendations, you might still be in their sights for something, or someone else's project that has a more operatic edge .... 🌸💜

Re: Night Shift

Its weird as I was never a singer .. cos I was always the accompanist .. I also really valued the culture of the choir .. and harmony .. instead of all the over the top .. hysteria of opera ...

so I told my son ... I would stay out of opera ... but now .. it seems that it is what I am suited for ... they were really nice about it ... so a bit unsure .. as was trying to carve out separate areas for us in the singing world .. but my son is forever dragging his feet .. and so I sent emails off to 2 companies.

Re: Night Shift

I don't know how you do it @Faith-and-Hope - but I was pretty patient with dd in year 10 - the things we do for our kids -wow

I guess you would be pretty glad if this was all over - it seems everyone is doing their best for D3 - what a struggle

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Kurra

I guess one could have a cry and then enjoy the evening

There can be a feeling of despair while crying - but it can pass off -

All the best with that - whatever you do

Hi @Shaz51

Waiting is always the hard part - how are you feeling?
