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 @Decadian

Great to hear from you- sorry to hear you have been unwell, hopefully on the mend now.

How was your day?

The volunteer role is at the local wildlife park and I will be a park volunteer for the next 12 months so really looking forward to this. At this stage I will be working beside another volunteer next Wednesday and then from the 2nd Nov, I will be doing a course for 5 wks. After this course I will then do at least one shift a week.

A park volunteer stationed in different parts of the wildlife park, and are involved in greeting guests, answering questions about our animals and attractions, helping guests to locate shows and facilities, and helping our guests to get the maximum enjoyment out of their day.

Hence the role is mainly interacting with visitors and making sure they have fun filled day. I think I am going to enjoy taking on this role and I hope I can do a good job.

Re: Night Shift

There's already a "problem with site" thread operational @TAB .... was thinking of going to find it to flag mods ... but did it via tag last post ....

Maybe stock up on some tinned goods, if supply vs lethargy is part of the feeding-self problem ? It's a stand-by in this house .... Sesame Wheat biscuits are good for tiding over .... but of cheese .... nice ... 😊
