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

Not looking forward to work tonight, but I know that I get a couple of days off after this. Just hoping to get out of there unscathed.

My manager is kind of impossible.

Last night, she was annoyed at me for failing to finish, but it is unreasonable to expect anyone to finish that amount of work in three hours. Don't get me wrong, I don't want any more hours! The thing is, it didn't LOOK like a lot, but it was. It was a little embarrassing, three of my teammates were there as she singled me out.

She has this weird habit of staring at people. Literally, she will stand at the edge of my section for a couple of minutes, watching me as if she was watching a movie, to see how I work.

Work is hard enough for me, because my rumination just explodes. I don't need an unjustified lecture on top of that.

Wish me luck.

Re: Night Shift

I'm done.

It was alright. I stayed back half an hour, so I get a bit of extra money this week. I'm so glad it's over, though... I'm too tired to write more 😂.

OMFG, we're almost at 30,000 comments on this thread, how exciting! It'll probably happen by the time I wake up, so congratulations in advance.

Thank you @Mazarita, this is a wonderful idea x.
