jamesbroonbreed Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Night shifts are pretty horrible. The longest I ever did was 19 days straight, doing 12 hour shifts. My job was to watch a giant compressor to make sure it didn't explode. I was completely numb by the end of it. I wasn't allowed to read or anything, just stand outside and watch a compressor not go on fire. Good money though.I did 2 and a half months of 12 hour shifts without a day off (apart from a changeover) last year. 1 and a half months of which was nightshift.However, I shall be playing a gig this eve at the tunnels and then pretending to dj afterwards.

Guest idol_wild Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Over the weekend, I learned that I can trust/rely on absolutely nobody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually chuckled at the misfortune of how bad being stuck doing that would be. I'm sorry.EDIT: This weekend I was doing the car parking at Aboyne Games and proceeded to get sunburnt in the rain. Headed to a BBQ in the rain, and then went to Aboyne marquee, which, unless suitably pished is shite. It was shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsheepie Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I had a great weekend too. Spent saturday running round the woods shooting friends and random people with paintballs and spent most of sunday just slobbing infront of the telly.

Guest idol_wild Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Surely you can trust/rely on someone? What happened?"Friends" just generally being shite. Especially at maintaining two-way dynamics. People seem content to have me do stuff for them but without returning the favour.No more Mr Nice Guy!

Chris Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I was drunk all weekend.... no more.Bloody birthday parties and BBQ's.....I had a similar weekend.Fucking knackered today. Going till the wee hours on Thurs, Fri and Saturday does not make for a productive Monday anymore. Mixture of being out of practice and getting older I think.

Diesel Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I plan to spend most of Sunday in my pants. Ah, wandering around your own house in your scants with impunity - it just can't be beat My wife and daughter were in Turkey for a fortnight - so I spent two weeks in my pants (at home, I hasten to add).Almost certainly the best part of living on your own - oh how I miss it.

Had a 2-day bender over Friday and Saturday and I still feel like a rat. It must be something to do with being in your 30's. Ach well, same again come Friday night...Questionable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God damn stomach bug!Think of the positive side, at least you've had a good weekend, even though you feel shit now.This is a good point, from the way I felt on Sunday I'm pretty sure it was a good night. I got to meet new and interesting people and all that shite... I guess you wouldn't have been so lucky with an unruly stomach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Watching the football tomorrow. Had a spectacularly SHITE day at work today where we were busy as fuck and stupidly understaffed which wasn't made better by two of the staff we had in going home sick. So tomorrow, pub, football, banter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
