    Hard week

    Just had one of the most difficult work weeks I can remember. Just completed 5 x night shifts straight, essentially 13 hour shifts approx 5pm to 6am. Very hard on the body. Just about to go to bed, been awake since 10am yesterday. I did a massive week in my last week at the Steelworks in the mod 90's when we had a fire in the Bloom Mill, it was 6 x 16 hour shifts straight but I was a lot younger then! I think i'll sleep well tonight and part of tomorrow!

    I worked night shift for 19 yrs, it's hard on everything. It paid for my house and it took it's toll on my health also. I moved to the best place and am now retired, so I can at least relax now.

    Agree about night shift. I've been doing it for a bit over 7 years now. I've been over it for a while, but as above it's paying for a house and my cars.

    Hard week - yes. I've been lying around recovering with rib damage after I was thrown from my Ducati due to the abysmal state of QLD roads.
