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

That was a really disjointed day. I am going to blame my knee, no pun intended.

I went to my cafe to start the morning. I was trying to make conversation, but it didn't land. Either they didn't hear me or they weren't listening!

I caught an on-demand bus into town, and it stopped on the opposite side of the road to what I thought it did. It was kind of hot today too, so I was waiting in the sun 😭.

I went to the doctor, and one thing I didn't prepare for was the crowd! There were so many people at the doctor's office, it was a tad overwhelming. Thankfully, I got in and out really quick.

I went to the radiology clinic to make an appointment for my scans. I realised at that point that I lost one of the key documents, so I can't make an appointment until I find it.

I went to talk to my manager about the possibility of taking a long time off work. When I got there, the store manager was in the main office. I found my manager, but she looked kind of busy.

I realised that I probably wasn't going to be able to talk to her in private, so I just gave her my medical certificate for my knee and left.

She knew something was up. She's like "are you sure you don't want to talk to me about something else?" I said "no, I'll get back to you later." I probably won't.

I'm sad... I want cheese on toast 😢.
