Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Last night shift tonight!

A bit short of drivers and I’ve been twiddling my thumbs since midnight! Not fun, I’d much rather be busy!

I have 3 different types of earplugs by the bed! I was using some squishy silicon ones but they are sticky and have lost their stickiness!

Another night worker...

Not back until Sunday evening though... 4 on 4 off (but on leave tonight), 12 hour shifts with a long commute so I'm out of the house from 16:00 till 07:00 ish which gives me about an hour to do some form of exercise when on shift, luckily I'm not a big sleeper!

Welcome D! It seems you are on the opposite 4 to me, except I am part time so my shift work 4 and I work 2! I also get to pick which 2 I work! My commute is about 5 minutes in the car!

Thanks RJ, I wish I worked closer for a number of reasons... when I did work closer I was able to run commute most days and two 7.5 mile runs a day certainly adds up!

Sitting in the car for far too long each day coupled with a job that meant being (until the last few weeks) pretty much confined to a desk, just makes you fat, and very lazy!
