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

should have put doona on bed here, too cold to sleep properly, too much effort lol

@plasmo am up for a while now, got bed re-done, socks on, bar heater thats working 2 bars on, maybe time for a new one lol. had good convection heater a few years ago fm kmart. threw it out during rationalisation program between moving fm 3br house on own to caravan and storage, then got rid of storage as cost too much, then a heap of things didnt make trip back as only wanted what would fit in car lol

some nice looking heaters in home catalogue $40-80 this one can go to its maker, then test out whatever else in spare rm, but convection seemed to use way less power than oil heaters, think still got one of them.

also , I forget got a/c that goes on heat, but not cheap, ha. new one in br ok can set to 21 , doesnt get uncomfortable, def takes chill out of air tho lol

Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

yeah, so long as you use the stuff @plasmo bit like me at local foodland maybe . rarely spend less than $20 sometimes $60 or more , so if dont go there, cant spend, so try to keep in under 5 days a week.

lol jeez will be up this time getting ready to drive to adel day after tomorrow lol

going for same job interview again. well they mentioned part time this time. I tried to contact them as had details from last time. no reply. so applied for job again, ha ha.

then after saying want to see me, changed job ad back to full time so wtaf, they are playing w me think. see what happens. be nice to get experience, beats sitting at home guess. will get someone to feed cat or it can go back to being homeless or to its other owners where it hangs out every night lol

Re: Night Shift

was rained in today, so haven't been... yeh gotta go docs at silly time this week and have to jump on a bus.

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

was going to say cant remember when got bus last lol @plasmo when at course last year used to park at interchange and walk like 1.5ks to class. then got slack and took bus a few times, esp in afternoon as could not be @rsed

then actually parked in side streets like 5mins walk fm class like everyone else was, just would get there 2 hours early to make sure got a space lol. was iffy about parking on narrow streets , people driving fast etc. in hindsight, should have spoken to RSL near there w 20 vacant spots and done a deal. ok why didnt i just park there? cos were cameras.plus car there all day, so plenty of time to tow it. wento cardiologist near lyell mac a while back, 30 mi n parks, sign said pay carpark full so was stressing esp after had to wait hours, so car was in 30min spot like 4 hours thought about it after, how the hell would they ever find me ? well they havent. just bluff in this case anyway lol

Re: Night Shift
