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

yeah I dunno, work is not for everyone and it can come in all shapes and forms like work from home, or writing a book or selling lines to comedians someone said on here the other day lol @plasmo Compo thing someone put me onto saying it was a cert as no proof required got knocked back, still have inheritance from overseas that am backdooring lol could be $50 grand even, been going for a over a year now since I threw my hat in ring after telling rels wasnt going to , so they all backed out, so i will 4x what would have got in theory originally as the have opted out. cost me a few grand for lawyers so far, but should end up way in front even in worst case. but even being able to do few days at mines every couple months or something would be good to stop the flow of money out
