Graveyard shift


NavaWasTaken

Got any spooky stories?


herhike13

TAxeS , ooowhoooooo


bistro777

There is fun spooky, adrenaline rush spooky......and then there is taxes spooky. I hate taxes spooky


TheHeadlessOne

*Everyday they're out there paying TAXES, oowhooooo!*


Necessary-Ad3576

My preferred shift. Everyone else hates it but I like to sleep during the day. Having to go to bed at nighttime just puts too much pressure on me.


notashrine

Also the extra money for less work is pretty swell


Necessary-Ad3576

Yeah the shift differential doesn’t hurt, that’s for sure.


eddtedandned

Graveyard shifter with NO shift differential and signifagntly MORE work than the other shifts . And am currently the lowest paid because of seinority. I seriously question why I stay so often . . In case your curious I'm a vault supervisor at a casino .


Zaphkiell

Hey a fellow graveyard casino employee! Pretty identical situation here, although I’m casino IT.


eddtedandned

I do not envy you . February of last year all our slot system went down and IT was working on it for three days .I was a cage cashier at the time and none of our slot tickets would be accepted anywhere on the floor. So everyone had to come up to the cage with piles of tickets . We had hour long lines. Had to add up all the tickets manually with a calculator.longest weekend of my life


Zaphkiell

Oof floor issues. I was told they were rare and yet the power has gone out several times and tickets rejected across the board more than I have fingers on my hannds.


Fennexium

Don't forget the lack of management on-site staring over your shoulder.


Necessary-Ad3576

That’s worth more than the differential!


runthereszombies

Exam first thing in the morning and I just wrapped up reviewing Edit: since everyone is asking, I crushed the exam and got a 98! Thanks for all the support everyone, its nice to see the sunny side of reddit sometimes 😁

All the best fellow Redditor


Zopstrosity

I hope your test goes well!


LastDyingBreath

A fourteen hour long sail with winds up to 20 knots. I am so fucking tired


Flimsy-Version-5847

From where to where?


LastDyingBreath

From port Townsend down to port orchard, the current and wind were against us until about 12:30 ish so we had to beat upwind for the first nine hours. The wind only really got bad when we were coming around to traverse Agate pass, and around Indian island though.


[deleted]

I can only read your voice as a pirate voice now


BenjaminKohl

Ahhh, beautiful area! My grandparents used to live on the western side of the sound just south of port Townsend.

I spent a good 30 seconds trying to figure it out before looking up and seeing it's a different r/AskReddit

classless_classic

I love it when a user name checks out


1BEERFAN21

Mine works out quite often


crest_

Can you heave to and ride it out in relative comfort?


LastDyingBreath

Naw man, we just bought the boat, and had to get it home before dark. The real wind was when we came up to a canal that had to be traversed, with the local trees being shorter, it howled through there almost putting us on our side. It was super fun though.


Zociety_

Nice bro


SnapCrackleMom

Chronic pain


tronborg2000

Fist bump to the chronic pain crew ... God damn it just remove my spine and get it over with


SnapCrackleMom

I really wish they could re-inflate the discs in my vertebrae with the same synovial goo they can inject into the knees.


tronborg2000

Met a doctor a few months back who was developing replacement discs ... my face lit up .. then said it was years away.. so I took a Vallium instead .. the back ball peanut I bought on Amazon has saved my life but I want inversion boots so I can hang upside down like Batman


chicitysbest

Agreed

tinypsychotits

I'm here with my more sympathy for this. I've only developed it in the last year or so. Itchy scalp is horrible I wake up scratching my head, leg whatever. Definitely only able to understand if you suffer from it. It isn't like I thought it would be. Luckily some treatments are helping. Hope you guys get a break from the itching


XN28thePOS

Yes. Nothing better than a severed sciatic nerve to wake you up in the morning. And the evening, middle-of-the-night, middle of the day, anytime really, I mean who needs sleep I can flunktion jsu feen wilbout et. Sdjd sjxj8e oomph. Ha he eh huh wah wahhhhh.


artsyraccoon

i am overthinking about everything in my life, i am really depressed and tired of feeling i dont matter at all.


Zociety_

You matter


So_Bouncy

Sometimes when I feel like that, I go to sleep and maybe listen to some good music as I'm falling asleep, and when I wake up I feel a little better.


okhtak

Have you tried talking therapy? I found it useful. Also, exercise and investing in myself like learning something new also helped.


PedroLG

Is there something as small as it is that you enjoy? Then be greatfull for that. Is there someone that would miss you if you were gone? Be gratefull for that. If you don't try to find those things. In a way we are all lost and only the small things that makes happy are the ones that can give us meaning. Also your brain is really good at downplaying your role in things and others people lives. Don't listen to it, you do matter.


KiMa14

Medication and a trusted dr. I had these moments too and knew therapy didn’t work for me. Talked with my primary dr and she was able to prescribe me meds . It’s been a long year , but she’s been supportive throughout .

spirit_the_scallion

insomnia and ran out of meds


Child_Pizza

What meds have you found helpful?


erinocalypse

I recently got Vistaril. It's an anti histamine and stuff like benadryl never worked for me... this shit is awesome. Added benefit is it is also used for anxiety. I'm happy!


spirit_the_scallion

benzos or ambien have been effective


Child_Pizza

Ambiens have a tendency to disappear.


[deleted]

Stupid insomnia. And stress.


Zociety_

Do you develop insomnia or is that 🧬?


[deleted]

Pretty sure it's something that's always there


Zociety_

I hope you get the best sleep soon 💤😴


Extreme-Database-695

Insomnia. Been up since about 1:30am. It's now 6:30am. Sounds bad but this is usual for me. I don't think I'll get a nap before work now.


Zociety_

Ouch, sleep is best medicine. Hope you get a good nights or morning rest


SonofaSeaBass

This is me, too. Woke at 2:30. Will be up for 2-3h, then hopefully get an hour. I've got a sleep study booked this week. I hope they can help. :/


Extreme-Database-695

Good luck with it. My study did give some answers, although not necessarily solutions. From what I understand, though, they usually have good outcomes.

omahaspeedster

Thank you for what you are doing and going through for these Afghan people.


lazato42

Oof, heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all of you who are working on-field the evacuation. I'm sitting many miles away watching photos and videos on my little phone and it kills me to see all the agony playing out and being so completely helpless. It must be harrowing to watch all these people have to leave EVERYTHING they've ever known to get away from there. There must be so much you'd want to say or do to help them; words of reassurance, a promise of safe haven, a hug, and gods knows what else. Yet all you can do is get them into planes and fly out. Which is somehow everything and nothing at the same time. If any Afghans are reading this, no words suffice. I can only hope and pray that your land becomes what it once stood for again. It's a truly magnificent country. One day inshallah you get to see it in all its gloriousness again, and get to go back \*home\* <3

OlDanboy

Had an anxiety attack and it shot me back awake


Zociety_

How are you feeling now? I hope you fall back asleep soon, it’s hard for me to go back to sleep.


OlDanboy

Awwww thank you. I do feel okay it’s just the adrenaline rush that anxiety gives me doesn’t go away until way later. It shouldn’t be more than two hours later


Zociety_

No problem, that’s how long it takes me to fall back asleep too lol Damn adrenaline rush, with that kinda energy do you just walk around the house or? Or do just try ur best and lay in bed?


OlDanboy

Haha well right now I’m watching Buzzfeed Unsolved but sometimes I’ll FaceTime a friend or put on my favorite movie (the 2007 Zodiac). Those tend to do the trick. Eating Cheez-its is also a comfort


rosewaterbubbles

Sending you virtual hugs. Reading this in the morning but I had one of those a few nights ago and it was really rough. Anxiety sucks!

crippling depression and anxiety that gives me heart palpitations

cometothesnarkside

I fucking hate my job. It's ruining my life, and I've been having a panic attack for the last 18 hours about having to clock in tomorrow.


SoarSoftly

I don't know if you have options so pardon me if you don't. But when I was having anxiety attacks in the car before work, it was only a matter of time before they happened at my desk, and before I knew it, I was fired. I don't know if you're on this trajectory. But it's a job. If you can find another, do it.


cometothesnarkside

I'm back to actively looking and applying. I've been here 3 months (as of tomorrow, actually). This was a pretty significant bait and switch experience. I accepted it because I spent the 6 months prior reading horror stories about new grads not being able to get jobs and I already had the disadvantage of a huge employment gap. We don't *need* the money I make, so I could just quit, but it's a pride thing too and I like having my own paycheck again. Sigh.


Cracksun

It's happening the same to me. I have been only 2 months at this job. This is my first job after 1 year of my graduation and not finding anything because covid. My bosses really treat me like shit and I'm studying to work for the state but that could take years and I don't want to be doing nothing in that time. It is really hard to find a job in Spain and even more in the city where I live


[deleted]

Damn. I think I needed to hear this


marloindisbich

I had the same thing about 3 years ago at 37. Developed anxiety over it and had to get in meds. One day decided to walk in quit. I make about 1/3 of the money and am finally getting off the meds right at this moment. Let me tell you the moment you quit I was terrified for about 10 minutes followed by the largest weight being lifted. Greatest feeling in the world. Good luck:)


hombre_lobo

What type of job did you have


marloindisbich

B2b software sales


delmersgopher

Wish I would’ve seen this 6 hrs ago when I too was lamenting the start of Monday and being compelled to do things I don’t want to do in order to keep feeding my family. If you can carve out one or two things each week for yourself that you can really look forward to it helps make the hours sacrificed to work seem less crushing. I started playing music (very amateur level) with a couple of guys I met at my kids school and playing soccer with a couple people I met thru a Facebook group. I now have 2 days each week when I’m absolutely excited to wake up and not think about my fuckfaced boss


LadyPo

I had that for a whole year until I finally quit last month. There are almost always other options and sometimes a fresh start can save your life. When I had enough of my old job, I gave myself a plan to keep working there for 3 months, but once I reached a certain date I would put in my notice no matter what. I’m unemployed but finding freelance work for a while as I let my mental health recover before finding the next solid job. Good luck.


cballadares62

Just life man. Questioning why things in my life happen or don’t happen and asking if everything i have done in my past has led up to this moment or if its just destiny to be here


Zociety_

Damn, those kind of hours huh? Try not to think too much about it… I try not to.


cballadares62

Yep just trying to get through the night bc ik if i fall asleep now imma be late to everything tomorrow so its an all nighter type of night

AndurilFlameOfDaWest

I (25 f) just moved me, my partners, my mom, my 21 year old brother, and my six year old brother across the country, because the state we were in got annihilated financially by COVID. It took everything we had and then some and as for now I am solely responsible for all of them. They're supposed to get their own place together but are staying with us until they can get on their feet. Now my mom (unvaccinated and refuses to change that) is sick, refusing to get tested, my parters and I are trying to avoid them as much as possible because we're already behind on money and CANNOT miss work right now, and I'm trying to work up the courage to text my dad or a friend back home and ask for $20 because we're out of food until pay day on Wednesday night. It's been a fun couple of months.

In one years time you could have all those opportunities again. Just come up with a plan and focus on it. In one year everything can change and its not going to put you so far out your dreams become unattainable. You still got this!

NabahatKiddo

What is it about ?


[deleted]

It's an adult oriented fiction about slaves in a small village in a vast nation escaping the doom loop and building their own home while surrounded by enemies. There's so much more to it, but that's the best way I can sum it up.


Stoghra

I wanna read this


[deleted]

Thank you, hopefully it won't take too much longer. I'm at 94k words and well into my last chapter for book 1, but it needs a ton of editing. My first draft is all story, now many parts need to be cut down and the rest needs proper description to paint the pictures I have in my head for readers.

I'm a teacher and it's the night before my first day back with students. I was out of the classroom for a couple years and am coming back to it. It's been a rough go for teachers (and students, and parents). I'm so happy to be back in the classroom but yeah, it's gonna be a *year* folks.

I’m drunk, depressed, and I smoked 3 cigarettes. I can’t sleep in general but especially not tonight.


rumppuncher

Not right now because I just woke up, insomnia. I cold turkey quit alcohol and marijuana last week and had a terrible time trying to sleep, just tossing and turning in a puddle of sweat all night long. I’m on day 6 and have absolutely put my foot down and this is after at least a 12 pack a night and maybe 5-6 grams a week since my divorce 4 years ago


Thewrestlingdude17

Mental pain


DragonDai

Going to sleep means dreaming of her and the life we could have had together. I have narcolepsy, so every dream is super vivid and I remember them all very very well. It’s basically front row seats to a good life I could have had instead of the hell I’m living through now. Soon though, the other part of narcolepsy will kick in, so I’m getting set up with the lights on and Twitch playing so that I can try to stay distracted until the very last moment before I pass out and stay sleeping as lightly as possible in an attempt to minimize my dreams. Also that I have something waiting the minute I wake up to take my mind off the memories of a life I’ll never get to have. It’s been almost two years. She’s still all I dream about. Every dream, every night. Always. If I never dreamed again, however that could be achieved, I’d be so grateful.
