    Working working working. Last week i managed to create 100 folders in the week which i was pretty impressed with even though my target was 130 (set by management). Got in yesterday and they said i have to create 250 this week! Managed 55 so far and yesterday i was here for 11 hours straight with only one 30 minute break! I know people have it a lot worse but i needed a moan lol.

    How did your work go? Do you have a better target for this week?

    Cause I've worked so much recently i treated myself to some shampoo and conditioner from lush and now cant stop smelling my hair hahaha

    Have a good day xx

    Do you have a better target for this week?

    I DO have a better Target for this Week and I think it is achievable....and means I can start paying some things back which is great....

    Work went REALLY well....I ended up getting some really good Calls...and long ones too...which was great....

    Have managed a few hours sleep now but going to also sleep this Afternoon so I can do another All-Nighter tonight....

    Feels good that I AM finally doing it.... :j

    Would it encourage you to tell us what your target is daily, and to let us know how near or over it you got, and how long you had to work to get there ? Do you know what your average hourly rate is ?
    Now Sleep ..... you need your 8 hours a day, No more, it makes you even more tired if you take too much sleep.
    Good Luck :)
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Hmmmm thank you for the suggestion but I think it would put too much pressure on me to perform and I would worry if I couldn't quite get there....

    But I WILL keep you all Updated as to how I get along....

    The hardest part of the Evening is the first part....Just to start Work.....that's hard....but once I've started it's usually fine....I also struggle a little between 1am and 2am because that's when I get the most tired....

    But I'm getting there slowly and getting into a Routine which I think is the most important thing...

    Right....I'm done for the Night.....and it's been a real mixture of good and bad....but I think that's fairly normal for the Night Shift...can't have it all good....

    I'm going to get some Sleep for a few hours....then do another couple of hours of Work....and then I'm off out for a few hours this Afternoon/Evening...a Friend is taking me out for Dinner which will be nice....so I'm looking forward to that....

    And then back home to do another Night Shift....

    Feel like I'm finally getting it....finally getting back into the Swing of things....

    And this Week I WILL get my Target....Got too much to pay for next Week for me not to hit my Target....And right now I'm on track to hit it comfortably without having to Work all day on Sunday like I normally have to....I might even get half a day off on Sunday!! :j

    So that's where I am....Catch you all after my Zzzzzzzz's...xXx

    Im feeling a bit carp today, Had to go to the dentist yesterday thinking id get the sore tooth out, and he ended up taking out TWO ... So feel like Ive gone several rounds with Henry Cooper today. Will survive on painkillers tho, but wont be having crisps for a day or two ! :P Absolute bargain at £19 for an hour & a half in a dental chair tho !
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:
