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

I know @Bunniekins ....

I got about 3 big bags of clothes ready for opshop. ....

For the past 6 years - Iv poured over Salvation army opshop online - Myers sales - Birdsnest sales afterpay. But iv stopped.

And the clothes absolutely galore are all in the boot of car to go to opshop....

I dropped in at @TAB and grabbed a few bags lol......

Good minds think alike .....

I wear 'keshet,' plain clothes these days and jeans. 2 pairs shoes not including things under the bed. I think Peanut destroyed the pale pink thongs I got for xmas .......

I'v got shoulder length greying hair in French braid plaits. I don't want to spend money on hair anymore but still live my personality.

I love brooches but the ones I want ...may take a while to buy.....

Guess what I did ? For the last few months iv been noticing there's these 2 volunteers coming over to the block of flats I live at and they have been bulling the 'Head volunteer' living at the units. Trust me, it's incredible living where I live [edited by moderator]. I live in A very beautiful suburb.

The people living here do run around with their hand sticking out. But some of their stories take a little while to mull over.

There's these people who own a home in the area [edited by moderator] and they want to hold coffee days so they come and have coffee mornings to bring the community together. I don't go because I'm lazy.

But I was seeing these 2 particular volunteers who were confronting the "Community Head," a poor woman who lives here. One of them jumps up and down crying she's a lawyer. She studied law and University. The ol' chook is about 63 yrs old - she's very energetic.

So I went to a few meetings. Kicked back and backstabbed the woman who is very energetic, 63, studied law. She also likes showing off where she lives but we won't go there. I'm busy telling her how grateful I am to her. Backstabbing extroidinare.

.

And I wrote to the member of parliament at his JOB is to stop this happening. ..,.blah blah blah. I get a response back and these two volunteers were doing -

I'm far too lazy to think about what they did but it resulted in that poor woman who wants to be community head to go to bed and drink lots of champagne.

So I write another letter. This time I'm in the office talking to him and this is why I just wrote this big long monologue ..........

He did the politicians questions on me !!

A ND I didn't realise it until I left !!

Wow !! In next long text I'll write what he was asking but you might be bored of this message ......
