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

@plasmo I reckon if you're awake, you're awake. You can always have a nap nap later. I'd love to go back to bed.

@Former-Member Yes it's icy this morning. I've had my 10 mins outside being me with myself but it's a bit crunchy under foot. I don't think it's cold enough to worry about black ice on my drive to work though.

Re: Night Shift

I was just asking because you have to two way chat online gaming but it is pretty focussed on just the game.

Re: Night Shift

Do you live in a rural regional area @Kurra I saw you chat about dodging the Roos the other day

Re: Night Shift

I've got a couple, well 3 facebook games I play that I find quite relaxing. They're more the hunt and find sort of thing though and another is four pictures that represent a word. Not the usual gaming stuff I suspect.

Re: Night Shift

I got into 4 pictures for a while 😊 I hope this week at work goes well, not too hectic

Re: Night Shift

I'm on the edge of Canberra @Former-Member. My route to work is one with paddocks all around. Roos are quite a big problem throughout Canberra.
I long to get back to living in a smaller community. Braidwood would be my choice but the places I like are a bit pricey.

Re: Night Shift

Until a couple of years ago I was living in a small regional rural town of about 400 people. I loved it. I still make the drive a few times a week as my son still plays footy there. It's such a different atmosphere. I have to dodge the Roos and foxes and emus and sometimes koalas and wild deer. It's quite a minefield some nights @Kurra

Re: Night Shift

Maybe @plasmo has nodded off again.
I'm being really lazy and de-dogging my slacks in the dryer.
