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.

You never know @Kurra. Maybe you'll get a promotion after this and be able to afford to live at Braidwood. I gather you're a country girl😊

Re: Night Shift

Koalas - you're obviously in a coastal region. Country communities are very different. You go in to town to get a couple of things and it takes you 2 hours before you can leave again.

In rural communities you're someone, you even have a name but in the cities you're just another anonymous person @Former-Member

Nothing to stop you opening up more @plasmo except yourself. You might be surprised how much it helps.

@Kurra yeah I'm a bit of a privacy freak, so i don't give too much away

Re: Night Shift

I doubt I'll get a promotion at close to 66 @Former-Member The best I can hope for is to get back on to 24/7 shift work.

Sleep well @plasmo

Re: Night Shift

Yeah @Kurra. You get to know people and get involved with the community. The community spirit is strong. My other son still lives there. He'll be a country boy forever I think

Just got a haircut! Trimmed my hair, then shaved my side off, and plus I got it dyed - a portion of my hair. 🙂

My nurse replied, and she's understandably concerned but supportive. She isn't doing anything drastic, thank god. She's gonna see me today at 2pm, but that might be delayed to the 16th.

Re: Night Shift

I figured that out a long time ago plab. But I've noticed that you've been interacting a lot more here.
It's something to think about @plasmo
