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.

Hey @Former-Member love that story with the poem. A fart is more powerful than the eight winds, hehe.

Good to hear your teeth issues are okay. I've had one aching lately but it seems to have subsided for now, a relief. Today I've had a very bad headache that has pretty much wiped out my day. I get them from neck problems and have had a lot in the past few months. Happily that today's has subsided a lot at this point. Fingers crossed tomorrow will be better.

Hope you are sleeping well while I'm writing this and that tomorrow dawns well for you.

I got my pay, it's all good. Two hours late, but better late than never. I am probably going to have to quit coffee this week to save a bit of money 😭. I'll buy one tomorrow, but apart from that... 😂.

That was beyond a frustrating night at work... my supervisor took me out of my usual section because "it's a bit too difficult for you." Condescending much? She said that I never finish. It's because I don't have as many hours as everyone else. I looked at the end and the person she replaced me with wasn't finished either, despite having an hour longer! SO WHY TAKE ME OUT, WHAT DIFFERENCE DID IT MAKE?!??! I'm exaggerating, don't worry, but it's still annoying and very unfair.

Humiliatingly though, she put me in the section right next to my ex. Literally, right there. So not only did I hear her voice, but I saw her as well, multiple times throughout the night. We might as well be friends. I didn't talk to her though, and she didn't start a conversation...

I thought this was a permanent thing, but I told my supervisor afterwards, "put me literally anywhere else", and she will next time. Really, though... I'm happy to go on record as saying that this is the worst break-up Mankind has ever known.

The interim plan is sleep, shower, coffee and books... thankfully I have tomorrow night off.

Re: Night Shift

sounds tough @Former-Member I think supervisors play with people on purpose, and sometimes they think its legit, ie to see who can and cant work with each other
