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.

Hey @BlueBay and @Mazarita.

So you guys are awake?

I miss @eth too, how do you tag? My search results just comes up empty for eth. 😞

Re: Night Shift

@Snuchu yeah I'm here at 9.15am practising ukelele in front of the computer. I have a class later this morning. I've already been singing Bob Marley's 'Dont worry 'bout a thing', hehe. It's got a good message I need to hear every day really. There is a tech problem with @eth's name which means the tags aren't always working at the moment. SANE tech people are looking into it. Do you have anything on today?

Hey @Former-Member, love your emojis. Seems like your son made it off to school today without you having to spend 90 minutes in the car. Nice. Anything planned for today or is it another quiet one for you?

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita My son worked today and got picked up by his boss across the road from the house so no fights over school. Yay. I have my home maintenance class this afternoon but not sure if I will make it. I've missed the last two and am struggling a bit today.

I hope the ukulele class goes well. Haven't heard bob Marley for ages😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Hi @eth

So it seems that I can @mention you via mobile, because it doesn't have a drop down. If I'm replying to you directly (I've hit 'reply' on your post) you come up as a option to @mention because you've commented recently. However, this doesn't seem to work if you I want to @mention you and you haven't posted recently in the thread (using desktop or ipad)

I believe this is because the drop down is predictive, so it suggests usernames with 'eth' in them, which is alot. For some reason, it will only "suggest" 5 usernames, which your name isn't one of sometimes.

This isn't something we can fix internally, so we'll have to contact the company that creates this forum platform. I don't have any short term fixes, except to offer to adjust your username to add some numbers to the end of it (or something similar). But I totally understand if you don't want to do that.

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, hope you do make it to home maintenance class today. Getting out might pick things up. I sure have been there thoug, and understand if you miss it. I still struggle to get to activities some weeks when not picked up by support worker (and even sometimes when there is the offer of a lift). This is a week she's not coming to take me to uke so I'm glad to be on track to get there today so far.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, I feel your presence in the air...

Hi @NikNik, hope you have a good one today too. 🙂

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita, Perhaps you could play some phil Collins for @Faith-and-Hope. Although that's much more of a drum solo (in the air tonight) 😝

Re: Night Shift

Hi Everybody 😊

Just dropping past every now and then ......
Thanks for the call-out @Mazarita 🌷

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita, that song has awesome lyrics. 🙂 Too bad about @eth's name... Oh well.

@Former-Member, I'm sorry that you're struggling a bit today, what got you today? 😞

I'm doing nothing today, just waiting on my friend to come by. 🙂
