Welcome to the shift workers life Rossgo coffee is your friend. You'll get used to the spacey sleep deprived feeling after a few years
That has just made me chuckle!! I'm fairly lucky at Mars because it's only 2 days and then 2 nights excluding overtime but I couldn't behind to imagine what you go through every month!! That is a very difficult shift pattern you are in mate!
Had Mrs Gee's parents round for lunch today, but we made a big flat out Indian style meal instead of traditional British fare, they've both served out in Sri Lanka and Malaysia in the past and developed a taste for the local food, so as a surprise for them we worked all morning and turned out the best Indian style food I've ever tasted.
They were knocked out and thoroughly enjoyed the surprise, it wasn't quite the weather we'd planned -- 32°C here today, but that didn't spoil anything as the beer was cold and the curry hot. Top day today - a bit strange working on Fathers Day, but well worth it.

I did your shift roster for 7 years at the refinery. In some ways it's worse than what I do now. The first two nights are the worst after 3-4 you settle into it and it's just coming off that hurts. Just be careful commuting afternights mate, I had a few scares with nodding off driving home. The bike was never an issue
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Yes I agree with that the commute in a car is defo worse after a night. I have used the car once after nights and I felt like a zombie heading down the motorway, been using the bike mostly and with the fresh air hitting you it keeps you pretty alert - through the summer it's not too bad but when winter comes ill have to use my car which is going to be a scary prospect considering it's going to be icy!!
Spent the morning with little one before taking him to his nans, now just finishing off packing before driving down to swindon for the rest of the week

Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...
Today going to a funeral of a very close friend of my girlfriend and myself. Her dad passed away before the Reading play off final at Wembley after having a heart attack. Very emotional time
