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

Hi @Polly48 I used to visit Bairnsdale a lot in the 80s and Mt Taylor and Bruthen.. you probably get better starscapes then we do in the big smoke.

Hi @Decadian

I go outside at night to look up at the stars .. or the plants .. and if I am in a garden mania .. to work in the garden.. if I have done the jobs before I forget they should be done then I can relax ....

Yes melbourne was uncommonly warm today.

Hi @plasmo welcome .. my social skills are a bit topsy turvy. My rule is I treat everyone with the same amount of respect: from the homeless that sleep outside on the concrete our CBD church to the head honchos and gurus. Unfortunately the head honchos sometimes think they deserve more than the average ... and by then I have run dry so the poor buggers get a piece of my mind. I really try to be nice and forgiving but if the top dude thinks he is better somehow the shit hits the proverbial. However I have had some very good outcomes from my approach so it cant be all bad. Some people in power have actually improved a lot.

Take care and just post and "have a go" .. thats all we can do.

Warm regards to all my Night Shift friends .. wonder when @Mazarita is due back.

Re: Night Shift

I am ok today @Shaz51 Thanks for asking.

2 days ago I had panic attacks about getting my licence back. Today the same little bit of plastic, just arrived in the post and I am legal again. So I took the car for a little drive to make sure the battery wasnt flat. It was fine, but sure enough my delightful son cut his timing for his trip to the station a bit fine. That was ok too. My driving wasnt too bad. It just get back on the horse. its cutting the timing too fine that panics, me. The young kids these days are driven at a frantic pace, and so we all catch it. Anyway he is out now. God bless 'em, so I can finally OOOOOMMMMM to my hearts content.
