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

I did not think she was the best communicator.

@TAB You have to at least talk about is going on. Maybe your father has something up his sleeve. If she diddles you out of your share there could be legal steps to take. Best not to think too much about inheritance. Let it be a bonus and not something to define your plans.

Re: Night Shift

its all very undignified @Appleblossom ok I bought into older brother's paranoia re her actions. turns out makes real sense to sell house now as father wont have lived in it for 2 years soon, so that then is not considered his house, but an asset or something re centrelink. I shouldnt think about it and the fact that i am means everything else in my life not going well. yes, youre right re bonus etc,I have thought that before. and yes, legal steps, and yes its crap that I'm the only one who needs it re inheritance . oh well

Guess that means lots of concerts/recitals re Bach ?

Re: Night Shift

Maybe your sister was stepping in to protect her and therefore your assets rather than let Public Trustee gobble it up. They charge fees even when dont seem to be doing much ??

Dunno. @TAB

Best let things cool ...

Maybe you are going through a change ... slowling down ... going healthy ... not everything happens by going gung ho.

Just finished Wagner, now doing a Bach Passion that I have done before. It is easier this time, and certainly easier than memorising german that I do not really understand.

Re: Night Shift

public trustee was never in picture @Appleblossom sister is the executor. She also has full power of attorney while he is alive. she has complete control and is exercising it without a thought of letting others know even after the fact. Anyhoo. best not to think about it. hmm well not smoking and forcing vegetables so healthier maybe lol. perhaps it would be easier to remember the words if you worked out what it meant first, ok by looking at english version maybe, then things might fall into place a bit easier? just saying yeah no gung ho here, have bills to pay and am telling self completely sick of work. maybe I should apply for cashless welfare card. If wasnt in Indue Card area I would have applied for centrelink weeks ago. Too much time to second guess and overthink. I applied then cancelled it. oh well.

Re: Night Shift

yes public trustee takes like 25% of estate to find someone to pay assets to @Appleblossom perhaps I should get a Will at last. definitely nothing going to sisters children now, they dont deserve or need it lol

Re: Night Shift

As an executor there are expectations that she is ethical.

If the jobs were knocking on the door thats one thing, but it is still fair to claim a benefit without getting down to zilch. Forward planning and options ... @TAB

Yeah I looked up translations early on. Mainly had difficulty with similar sounding words and the speed they started off. I would have done better gradually upping speed, but they had a concert master who was piano basher. It jittered me a bit. He would strike the top of the piano with a flat hand and a big fat ring on his finger. Metal on wood ... I was disgusted actually. Not only rock and roll that is rough ... but the real conductor was good, older, sensitive, intelliegent and musical. SO it was worth it.

Re: Night Shift

Well she’s saying its all fathers idea 😬 wouldn’t be surprised if she is also the buyer. Communication yesterday was at pains to say it was all above board. Sounded like too much explaining for that theory not to be true. Anyway. Enough.
Thats a pity re piano 🎹 basher hope it went okay nonetheless @Appleblossom

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

It ended up being fabulous and well reviewed, but it was fabulous cos of ALL the people not, just the piano basher ...

I was pretty upset about what went down re my mother's will ... which included a few games with my sister. Unfortunately it is common. Its important for healthy ageing to have an identity outside of work ... pride and dignity can come in different ways ... I am gonna nag ya about the geetar again ... or something in music ... or get a djembe ... they are cheap and getting tight with rhythm is handy ... in other instruments ...

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

Yes re something outside work. No re djembe .. that’s a drum ? .. ok yeah need to get working on me/existing tomorrow. Have some money in bank but realising at least 1/3 of it is owing in back rent lol
I could wing it for a while on couple days pay. Ok maybe time to snap the eff out of it get a couple weeks pay and get on stupid cashless card although might be extremely interesting trying to travel on it if /when leave here @Appleblossom ps yes good re good reviews thx for chatting again 😸😎🎩
