Will probably get to bed around 8 and wake up around 2. Honestly cannot wait for bed right now.

Bye, will be heading off very shortly, 100km trip to get home!
 
I have just under 1.5 hours to go.
Not working tonight so might not go to bed until mid morning instead of as soon as I get home. Sleep well when you do get to bed. Travel safely.

I have childhood horror memories of night shift. My dad used to do them. Days, Afternoons then Nights. I can remember Mum yelling at us "SSSSSHHHHHH your Dad is asleep" and he would get up and be angry at Mum - 'cause he never heard us kids playing and fighting - just Mum's SSSSSHHHHHHH. I think he used to get home around 7am and have 2 sleeps - a quick nap when he got home for 1-2 hours then 4-9 - left for work at 11pm. He used to say afternoon shift was the hardest
 
I'm doing 1430-2300 mon - fri next week. The best shift to integrate with nights which is what I have to do at the moment. I love nights 2230 - 0700. I get home around 0715 and can be asleep by 0730. I sleep until around 1200 - 1230, get up and leave the house for a couple of hours, come home, fiddle around for a littlw while then go back to sleep until 1800 ish. I leave home between 2130 and 2145. Thankfully I live alone.
 
Thanks for making it an enjoyable shift for me!

It was so cool having you guys to keep me company.

I have just devoured sausages, fried tomatoes, toast and eggs and an icy cold glass of OJ, and read the paper with my partner. Now its time for me to sleep.

Fingers crossed you won't see me now for at least 8 hours, so keep the noise down.

One down, two to go... Xo
 
Oh I miss all the interesting shit, well I wouldn't exactly call it interesting - just the shit... :)

That's what ya get for sleeping, I did manage to flick it onto Nein at some wee hour of the moaning to see Sonja wiping her feet on Penny's schmoz....then it was light, sun up, birds chirping & time to do what it is I do.... morning....
 
Well someone is going to wake up this morning with a sore head, and a belly full of regret, and rightly so too, what a poor display last night, and I missed it! Hope everyone that was on the receiving end of that vitriol are doing ok this morning... cheers!

I'll give you a tip and it will be the first and last time that I do. I hope whatever it is that gets you to this place that you are in you get to resolve, hopefully, sooner rather than later. All the best.

mmmmmm I have tried to work out the meaning - to no avail - think you are on track, but who the hell knows! Did not know that Brian Ferry had brought out a new album. I looked at the lyrics, as well and it is all a mystery to me! Don't lose sleep over it ;)

Haha! Thanks for watching it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't work out that video's meaning. :) ;)
 
If I may lighten the mood in here I would like to tell you all that my sweet little baby bro turns 16 today which makes me sad. But part of my birthday present to him was indoctrinating him into the world of McDonald's breakfasts since he shockingly only recently learnt they exist. He initially just wanted raisin toast but he slowly tried most things and he might just be a convert. I was always worried someone might corrupt him someday, but I never though it would be me!

Aww! I have younger siblings too. It's hard when they grow up. You remember them when they were little. :( I think I have that feeling parents get when watching their kids growing up before their eyes! :laugh:

Happy bday to your little bro!

Well amazingly you don't corrupt him with McD for the first 16 years of his life.
Pfff raisin toast, how cute... And ridiculous.

Hope you got the mighty muffin!

He has just always been the baby of the family being 10+ years younger than me as the next youngest sibling, it's hard for me to take him seriously, even if he is now taller than me.

I know, I simply didn't allow raisin toast, how lame. I did try the mighty muffin (as did he) thanks for the tip. I've always though this should exist, like I get one sausage muffin and one bacon one but I always want them to be combined. And now they are!
