drsmith Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 leaving for work in 10.................good night to you all I do nightshifts too, but fortunately not to many. Still, when one comes along, it's very much "Oh the pain! the pain!"
c912039 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 As one of those unfortunate people who gets to work night shift regularly I do check out whats happening on the forum during the wee hours.What surprises me is the members who are awake at ungodly hours and posting on the forum. So whats the story folks..... insomniac, working nightshift like me; addicted to the forum,forgot to turn the pc off, overdosed on caffiene (with some of the coffee makers fm's have that would have to be a real possibilty); got to get another fix of Mello or Aloyouis or the worst of all.....fell asleep at the wheel; you all should know how dangerous that is. A week of 24x7 on-call
Groover ! Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 ...so whats your excuse...guilty conscience? Who me never
Nevyn72 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 At work now on a local with not much happening...... Next train arrives in around an hour and a half and everthing else is under control. Time to kill until I finish up at 1am.
Cooksta59 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 A week of 24x7 on-call My last job was on call till 12am Mon-Fri and that was bad enough..
mello yello Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Take some fish oil capsules, that'll clear it up.( Blackmores.....' Glucosamine + Fish Oil 'capsules )...............from Doctor Chook. C.M Thanks Doc I feel better already, did wonders for my wee problem........however I now have this irrestible urge to swim upsteam and mate with a mermaid It is the fish oil that helps to regulate body functions.It will improve one's eyesight over time also tinnitus is also reduced as well. It is very easy to get run down these days and with the high level of food processing that transforms our diet from what was intended to a nutrient free 'filler', it is no wonder that we cannot sleep. We are all slowly becoming disfunctional through unnatural lifestyles imposed on us by a materialistic world. C.M Disfunctional?...Im a little sperm whale ...short and stout here is my handle... and here is my ......(oh my god)
Austen Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Anyone notice a power failure in Melbourne tonight !!!! Had to do chauffeur duties tonight. When I'm not being the forum-whore I work a 24/7 roster / 12Hrs / 4 on - 4 Off / DDNN pattern, but we are in the process of switching to a 4 on - 5 off pattern !!! Austen.
mello yello Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Anyone notice a power failure in Melbourne tonight !!!! Nooo not really..but then again we cant really see Melbourne from here
Skid_MacMarx Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Jery Jerry Jerry For those up late.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr7T8cVDX-c

Austen Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Nooo not really..but then again we cant really see Melbourne from here I think that's part of the problem, half the people in Melbourne can't see Melbourne either. Austen.
Austen Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Happy birthday to our very own Rhode Island Red............. Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Foggy, Happy birthday to you.* And also not forgetting ............ Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear BrentC, timelord and Sinister Shadow Happy birthday to you.* Austen. *Sung to the tune of "Happy birthday to you".
Nevyn72 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Well I just got home from work, anybody out there? Oh well..... things got a little more interesting towards the end of the shift when one of our competitors put one of their trains in the dirt a couple of kilometres from the terminal! Fortunately no one was hurt but the line will be closed for a few days.
Nevyn72 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Happy Birthday there Foggy! Giving yourself any new toys for the evolving HT?
c912039 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Well I just got home from work, anybody out there?.... Yup, still here....
stahc Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 home from work...........................bugger i've missed everyone
stahc Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 You have, no-one important left now right then i'm off to bed....................see ya in about 6 hours or more
Mining Man Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Happy Birthday Foggy!! And of course, a belated happy birthday to those I missed while rowing the dinghy East...
Mining Man Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 ... 24/7 roster / 12Hrs / 4 on - 4 Off / DDNN pattern ... My favourite roster of all those I have worked: 15 / 6 (all days) 14 / 7 (all days) 14 / 7 (7 days, 7 nights) - the worst 10 / 4 (all days) 9 / 5 (all days) 5 / 2 (all days) 5 / 2, 4 / 3 (all days) - this is second best of course... 4 / 4 (2 days, 2 nights) Interestingly, when I started with my current employer 5 years ago, 3 & 1 (21 / 7) was pretty common. Some uni mates reckoned I was lucky to be on 2 & 1. These days, with the boom, most mines in WA are doomed if they offer anything less than 9 & 5 or even time.
Foggy Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks guys, it's nice to feel loved* again.... even if it is only once a year No new HT Toys Pete, but I did get a shiny new Nikon D80 to take some nice pics of the HT ______________________________________________ * in an emotional, not physical sense
50mxe20 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 My favourite roster of all those I have worked: Welcome back MM. Where ya been? On hols?
Mining Man Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Welcome back MM. Where ya been? On hols? Thanks Lyle. I'd hardly call last-minute-mad-rush-renovations-in-Adelaide-followed-by-moving-and-unpacking-in-another-country a holiday, but yeah, something like that. I've actually been reading the forum as a guest since Monday, trying to catch up and resisting the temptation to just jump at random threads. In the end, I realised that it's a futile exercise, and today has been a flood of my useless additions to our little corner of cyberspace. And how have you all been?
