haha how's you RJ. In from a night out? Up quite late :P

Just missed you dude, yep, was only in a short while. Keeping well thankfully, you're still enjoying the big smoke no doubt? :pac:

Owen

Why do I have this vision of RJ crawling on his hands and knees to the counter and just putting money on the counter while pointing at his mouth, too drunk to talk?

Used to do shiftwork years ago, never did 4 12 hour nights in a row, we used to do 3, never found them too bad. Never had an issue sleeping during the day in between them.

Evening, I feel for you, I have had two jobs where I worked nights and that really messes me up.

Cadyboo

I love my nights, get the best sleep during the day. When I am i on 7 to 7 days I am so so drained everyday because I cant sleep at night. Am on nights tomorrow for 3 days, and Ill go in on thurs night on ot. Love this week.:D

mudokon

The jobs I had were purely night work, I could never get used to sleeping in the daytime. Especially in the summer when it was light and warm. Mixing shifts between days and nights sounds even worse.

akamossy

I need a big ol' drink!! Grrr at life :mad:

Went on my first parachute jump Sunday, main chute failure and it all got knotted. Got a bit more freefall time than expected :P. Guy with me managed to get it off and release the reserve in time :P

holy heck!
I thought you meant you almost fell down some steps or something!
that's a hell of a story. you definitely earned a few drinks

Papa_Lazarou

Thing is that it has strangely made me want to go back up again and do some more jumps. Its hard to explain. Going to get some money together and probably do the solo jump training.

Owen

And today, I'm working in a petshop. Bring on the coffee!

Painting exotic birds??:D

I wish Nah, friend owns the Petshop, and he had to take a day off urgently, so I'm covering for him. Been a looooooooong time since I've worked retail.

I think you have just managed to convince me that this parachute jumping is something that I never need to try :eek:

:eek:

I wouldn't have the balls for a parachute jump to be honest, reading that won't be encouraging me either :pac:

mudokon

I'll join the not throwing myself out of a plane crowd too. All it would take is the bag to be packed wrong and it's you versus gravity. :eek:

Blitzkrieger

It's always stuck me as a bit of a two fingered salute to the poor sods who spent ages designing, building a maintaining it, when you go and jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane. Would still love to try it some time. I think you can do "jump holidays" in Canada where you're almost guaranteed good weather and get plenty of jumps in.

mudokon

Yeah my biggest worry about jumping out of an aeroplane is offending the engineer. :pac:

Yeah but I heard a character in a movie/TV show recently saying that you won't die on impact but rather the inevitable heart attack you'll have as you get closer to the ground...

Don't think I'd have the balls to do a jump tbh...I'd definately soil myself

Papa_Lazarou

At 12,000 feet . Must have swore more in the ten seconds after this pic than i have in my whole life.

LenaClaire

I am accident prone enough on land - I don't even want to think about what sort of chaos I would create in the sky.

D'Agger

Loving the weather at the moment - it's like somebody just flicked a switch and Spring was here.

Was still bright when I got back from work so was able to enjoy a jog down by the water to Blackrock castle and back - twas lovely

mudokon

Here's hoping it stays like this for a while, shift changeover week so I'm off for a week after today.

Nothing at all planned, just a nice relaxing week will do me.

I've always found they never turn out that way - you may feel like fixing something you've been meaning to get around to for a while and it'll turn into a massive job

Don't do that! :pac:

Ha ha, when it comes to fixing stuff, it's always a massive job as I'm useless at anything practical.

The first day off always results in me doing absolutely nothing. :cool:

I fscking love this weather. People are smiling, dressing summerly, and I can work! Bring on the summer and the beer gardens.
