Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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.

Oh boy oh boy! When will Kurra learn. I've left it far too late to go to bed when I've got to be up at 4.30am.

Re: Night Shift

If you choose to reject a VR you've got 3 months to gind a permanent position. If you don't it becomes an involuntary redundancy although I think with my lenth of service and age I would have 12 months. If nothing after that you get 1/3 of the VR payment.

Sorry I inadvertently left you out. No more name lists for Kurra. I don't like hurting people.
This is the final goodnight!!!!

Re: Night Shift

Awww .... @Former-Member .... that is tough .... 💐💜

I don't know if it's any consolation to hear that you're not alone .... but some families are like that. If the parents have not engaged with the ability to empathise, then they just don't get it .... life remains all about them ....

It says a lot that it affects you this way. It actually means that you are carrying the power to change that pattern in your own life, and you are already recognising that.

Take heart .... life doesn't remain the same, and there will likely come a time when your parents start to self-reflect more than they are .... particularly when they realise you have found a balance that works for you and are stepping out in a new strength.

Hugs .... 💐💜💕
