I am an hour away from finishing my four month stint on nights. My next early is on Monday and am doing 1130-2000 for two days and two lates this week. Do your earlies start at 0700?

Yeah they sure do!

07:00 - 15:30
 
We only do the morning, afternoon and night rotation. There are a couple of short shift options for AIN's. But RN's and EN's do flat 8 hour shifts.
 
Switchboard is busiest during the day so we need more people then and it tapers off from about 6pm. The 8pm finish is partly to cover the evening breaks as there are only two late shift staff and one night shift.

In some departments I've worked in I'd do 9.5 which was a four day week. In switch give me the 8 hours any day. As the department reliever I don't do Monday - Friday, I'm all over the place.

Ohh I was doing 9.5 in theatre, they are LONG days, but thankfully I was Monday to Thursday, good in that way, bad in others, sometimes I wish for a 9-5 office job, I did that for awhile though and was boring as batshit... can't win ;)

Kinda. Just go on the basis of keeping it concise and simple.. People tend to waffle on and potential employers get bored and stop reading.

I'm so awesome it's hard not to waffle on about my greatness.

I'm used to writing selection criteria for gov jobs, often 6 pages. Its hard to keep it to three paragraphs.

Unfortunately I didn't. I couldn't even find any colour angel that I could try to dodgy up with some blue paint! I went to 15+ stores and all they had - if anything at all - were star tree toppers. I'm honestly wondering if they even make angels anymore! I have our normal angel that used to be my grandmother's but there's no way I'm messing with it and apparently she's unacceptable this year. As it stands now, my son cracked it because apparently "everyone" has a blue angel?! and my husband cracked it because the lights were a tangled mess as they are every year. So at the moment our tree is completely bare and everyone went to bed cranky haha. Ho ho ho!!

I haven't caught up with the thread yet but did you put a tree up yet? Or are you one of the wise ones who have realised it's pure insanity and are giving it a miss?

Last year i didnt put a tree up or any decorations, but this year @Trala has inspired me to at least buy a table top xmas tree, and some tinsel. I like christmas, but I think the meaning is lost... And i dont mean that in a religious sense, more its a time for reflection.

LOL That' pretty much what he said too.

Does Melbourne finish up on the 12th as well?

I think Melb finishes a week after. I work in an English language school so our terms are completely different -_- the exam some of our students are currently doing is a UK based English proficiency test.. I feel sorry for them haha
