Guess Who?
*waits to be discovered*
Ah, you knew! smiley - smiley
Glad you slept well. Kids on holiday already there? Not until around 25th here.
Also in the Guard. yesterday was an article about the effects of shifts on health and wellbeing. It's very true.
You've had busy night 'Acing'. smiley - smiley Very responsible of you. I was never 'Aced' in the way that others are. Phil dropped by to say hi first.
How's the night been?

The perfume. Ah. smiley - smiley We must remember Sporky's hermetically sealed in there too, just waiting to burst out of a cupboard with a bucket of water or something. Very nice tho smiley - winkeye.
I call this 4.50 and awake since 4. Combination of many small niggles, smowballing. Nothing serious.
Article talks about depression, general ill health due to irregular eating, higher incidents of accidents etc. Suggests that when you sleep, you make room as dark and quiet as poss. If you leave work in daylight, wear dark glasses (and I know you have some smiley - winkeye)so that you body does not go into day mode.

Actually I think Sporky is hermetically sealed in the outer office,
along with Miss er Smith. (must try and work that in. also can't wait for the next instalment, hint, hint smiley - smiley My glasses are steaming up just thinking about it!)
Depression:true
General ill health:no
Irregular eating:no, due to generally using the 'when hungry' method
or the 'time based' method. i eat breakfast when I get up, lunch anywhere between 2 and 5 hours later and then dinner whenever.
Generally wear my sunnies going home because it can be terribly bright after the artificial lights all night. (no windows)
Just been reading your tea room antics with Gwennie et al, and wondering whether to pop in or not smiley - winkeye

No hint needed m'dear! Ahem. Very nice this time of the morn. smiley - winkeye
Article mentions cardiac problems, higher incidence of coughs and colds, and disrupted family and social life adding to depression. Also 'sleep debt'. You are doing the right thing with the eating though. (It's why I installed the junk food meter, but I'll switch it off if you are a good boy).
Do pop over. Sweep me off my feet there too! That'd give the old dears a shock!

The disrupted lifestyle and sleep debt I can understand. Come Sunday
Mr Grump will be back for a couple of days. I am a lot better with my food recently. Purely because I have put on more weight. Nothing to do with the amount of alcohol consumed over the last few weeks smiley - smiley
I shall pop over at some point. Need to think about the next instalment smiley - smiley
What time are you heading off? I'm off in about 15 mins. I get away early!!! Shock horror. Take it while I can. smiley - smiley

Did indeed have a good day today. Loadsalaffs. Confessed to my class about a huge practical joke which almost backfired on me last year. They found the story hilarious, which it was. smiley - smiley (3 of us invented a bogus student, and she won a prize in a school competition. Whoops!)
While you sleep, I work, while I sleep, you work, but who knows where or when we will meet up. smiley - winkeye
*leaves fruit bowl for healthy snacks, and makes sure there is juice in the fridge. Leaves Post It: "No junk food, and wear your shades"*
A busy Thursday for you.

Indeed, I called Glasgow this evening and all is well, though very tired.
Me too. Didn't sleep at all well. And my back is killing me, must have pulled a muscle or slept awkwardly. To boot, I get into work and all hell has broken lose, and it has taken about 3 hours to get to logging on and catching up.
Depressed. Right, I'll start counting and you hide smiley - smiley
