Question What is making you happy today?

[MK Shrimper]

Backed up all my important data last night

Lucky you. Learn from my mistakes!

(Ps: It wasn't THAT much I lost).

Finished my last nightshift last night for the foreseeable future and hopefully forever. It really isn’t good for you to be on permanent night shifts and especially when it’s summer really light out and you’re trying to sleep during the day. 4 young children and noisey neighbours doesn’t help. Living off 5 hours sleep when working nights too.

Cannot wait to work 8-5 and have every weekend off with early finishes on a Friday too. Nice and sociable hours and hopefully less being messed around.

As a former shift worker myself for 30 years I sympathise with you, I hated nights and felt rough all the time. Mind you I wasn't that keen on early shift either! Welcome back to the normal world!

Night work is horrible - especially 12 hour nights. I found at about 03:00 time seemed to stand still! Summer is worst of all, get home in the daylight, bin-men get amplified, on Sundays out come the power mowers etc making more noise (seemingly) than necessary. Some people just don't understand; my ex-wife would wake me on a Sunday lunch-time with a roast dinner. I explained, for me, it's breakfast-time and cereal and a grapefruit will do nicely. Who wants a roast dinner for breakfast? (actually, she would have done but that's another story).

It's like being permanently jet-lagged as I did 0600:1800 and 18:00-0600 at one point, but only doing 3 at a time meant the body clock was permanently out of kilter.

Our hours changed so over the summer time we would work 2000-0500 but over the winter it would be 1830-0630 and the 12 hour nights were a killer.

Couldn’t agree more about people not understanding. Unless you’ve done nights then it’s hard to sympathise with someone who works nights. That first ‘day off’ after your night shift when you’re trying to adjust back into day mode. And then trying to adjust back onto nights when you are going on to a night. It’s not health for your body at all.

A comfy 6-3 win for our team in the darts last night. P2 W2 this season. Also, an excellent jukebox in the pub so my fellow players were treated to a medley of New Order, Echo And The Bunnymen, Pixies and Joy Division.

If you're ever in this neck of the woods, you need to have a FF sandwich at JJ's on Gorleston Seafront, mouthwatering.
