Like I said I'm on night shifts all weekend
The church bell woke me at 11am
Chris went out for lunch so could not " field" 2 people knocking loudly at the door around 12pm,
and again at 2.30
The phone went around 1pm causing the dogs to howl like wolves
I have had no sleep
*on* I am guessing ~ at least we can find you with thermal imaging.
ReplyDeleteThink you mean 'on' John - actually I rather like you psychadellic (even if I can't spell it).
ReplyDeletePerhaps this is a good respite, you look a bit green around the gills. Good Lord, you've got gills!
ReplyDeleteI don't do night shifts anymore but I still look like shit! Like the colours.
ReplyDeleteAnd you've got a spot no your nose.
ReplyDeleteYou look green with envy that you can't do nightshifts too.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was the End of Days when we didn't hear from you for 24 hours.
ReplyDeletehmmm, perhaps you'd better get one of those x-ray dept gadgets to check your radiation levels....you appear to be glowing in the dark!
ReplyDeleteYou need a geiger counter!
ReplyDeleteI've seen worse looking shit!
ReplyDeleteHe said 'shift', Cro.
DeleteWe can see a part of you that most need warming. Can't you get one of your doggies to lie on your face?
ReplyDeleteBit scary!
ReplyDeleteNight shifts? I serious know the feeling. I've been working the 11:00pm to 7:00am shift for about five-years now.
ReplyDeletea fluorescent selfie... Obama, eat your heart out ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou've seen the light John!!
ReplyDeleteYou look a little green there John.
ReplyDeleteHow about a little laminated sign like the hotels use? DO NOT DISTURB!!! You can hang it on the door when convenient. I am all for ear plugs too.
ReplyDeleteYou need a 'working nights' note on the door John, and to train the dogs to answer the phone, and perhaps a pair of fetching ear muffs. Too late to add to your crimble list....?
ReplyDeleteTake the phone off the hook and hang a sign on the door...Sleeping!
ReplyDeleteHope you get to rest soon.
Snap. And it is no wonder that so many cultures have used sleep deprivation as a torture. It is.
ReplyDeleteIt always happens, the second I drift off for a nap the phone rings, the UPS man comes....
ReplyDeleteLove the photo
cheers, parsnip
Oooh, nothing I hate more than working on too little sleep. And my job isn't even near as challenging as nursing.
ReplyDeleteHope you get a good night's sleep soon!
Too little sleep for me and everyone around pays for it too! I'm sucha grouch!
ReplyDeleteNo PPI bastards phoning?
ReplyDeleteWell, I won't waste your time with a silly comment. I'll let you get back to sleep....
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked nights (7 p.m. to 7 a.m., usually 4 times a week), nothing could wake me up.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Put up a sign and take the phone off the hook....you must get your rest if you are going to maintain....
ReplyDeleteSending good vibes across the pond. I wouldn't be able to do what you do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others who suggested a sign on the door and taking the phone off the hook. Interrupted sleep is just too hard on a person.
ReplyDeleteWell, either a lot of coffee or chocolate or both should help you stay awake. And since you are on a diet, you may want to try carob chocolate?
ReplyDeleteEither way I hope your Sunday night shift wasn't too hard on you. ♥
Time to put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. People can be pretty thoughtless towards people who work night shifts as you now know. Most people assume that everyone works 9 - 5 and have no respect for those who do not. Did you at least make the ones knocking on the door feel guilty for waking you?
ReplyDeleteYou need a large sign to put on the gate John, telling everyone not to wake you (apart from Aunt Gladys leaving her scones quietly.)
ReplyDeleteAnd I now I understand your fascination with the Walking Dead.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good job you're so naturally beautiful you don't actually need beauty sleep then isn't it :-)
ReplyDeleteA sign for the gate would be a good idea!!
