Bostik's Finally Doing It :)

OMG!!! That is annoying. Remember to put your phone on silent, and tell them it's got nothing to do with you!! Ooh I'd be fuming! :)
 
I wish! And all the sales I've been giving them recently lol.

Its pouring down today. Miserable weather. Don't wanna get out of bed to get ready for work :(

Which reminds me. Was some leftover chocolate cake from one of the residents birthday so my sister asked me if i wanted a piece. And i said no you know im on a diet! not knowing that Jacob was in the kitchen too. And bless him, he was like why the hell are you on a diet for? Even though i actually need to be, it was sweet of him. Especially when usually he's putting his foot in his mouth by doing things like calling the lady who was doing our medication training old haha.

I told her she still doesn't live with me. I don't know why shes not in. If shes not answered her phone shes probably overslept. Get a call again 15 mins later. Can you ring her and ask if shes coming for the shift? I want to go home now. And im like if shes not answering your call, shes not gonna answer mine! Shes sleeping! Max was not happy about all the calls haha
 
I am a huge fan of subway!!!! Wish ours was a bit closer though.

Yes that is annoying about the phone calls!
 
Another day done :) day off today. Got training tonight.

Was speaking to a guy at work the other day to see how he gets through the night shift. He tells me we definitely all bring a lot of food. Think the boredom makes you wanna eat. So trying to plan my sleep and my eating for Thursday and Friday now. Like maybe eat less on Thursday and Friday day time so overnight i can have a few things to pick at when im hungry. Hmm.
 
Just been asked to do the night shift tonight too. Luckily not eaten anything yet. So trying to plan it out. Need to get more sleep too.
 
Sleep didn't work out. Was way too sunny. Wouldn't let me sleep. Just been gym. My legs are on fire. Was sweating like mad. Just showered. Need to eat some dinner and then go tesco for some snacks for tonight. Hopefully ill get through the night with what i take! Lots of diet fizzy drinks for the caffeine i think. And a diet red bull or kick. Hope its alright. Got a feeling it'll be minging lol.
 
I hate energy drinks! They taste like thick syrupy sludge to me. lol
Don't work too hard :)
 
I don't like red bull much. Tescos kick got me through my all nighters doing uni work lol. Never tried the diet ones though.
 
Hope your shift went ok Bostik, I would really struggle with a night shift. Hope the red bull worked!!
 
Just finished. Was on with a guy i get on with really well so we entertained each other enough so Noone fell asleep. Dreading my other nights. The woman and guy on it barely talk! Didn't eat so much overnight either :) bought more food than i ate. Less worried about nights now
 
Glad you have got someone you get on with to keep you awake. Nights can drag on forever otherwise.

Get some sleep hun. X
 
Hiya Bostik,
I've just been having a read of some of the diaries on here and you are doing amazingly! Hope I can be as succesful as you!
I also did a psychology degree and used to work ridiculous shifts in a forensic mental health hosp...madness, literally :D
 
Got about 3 hours and now wide awake. Try and stay up til night now.

Hiya :) haha night shift wasn't as bad as i thought. But still was weird seeing the sun come up! Im sure you'll do just as well! Just keep at it and you'll get results :)
 
Are you a key worker? I started off doing that, 3 12 hour shifts a week, then I was asked to be activities coordinator, and was slightly hated for getting to work mon-fri, 9-5 with the OT dept. In some ways I think I preferred the shifts! :rolleyes:
Well I'm going strong at the mo (but it's only been 6 weeks) so fingers crossed!
 
Support worker in a residential home for people with mental health issues. The guy i keywork is a handful lol. Hopefully shifts like this is only temporary and ill get a better job with the experience im getting here :)
 
I can't drink energy drinks, even just the smell of them makes me feel sick!! I don't envy you with night shifts, I think I'd find it hard not to pick as well. Can you take a book or something in to keep you busy?

Yeah definitely, you'll be head psychologist somewhere before you know it. I'd not been there that long and was on my way to assistant psychologist. It seems like all you need is your foot in the door in the right place. I left when I was pregnant as it was a women's unit and some of them had issues with pregnant women and I soooo wasn't going take that risk. Might go back to it one day, it's fascinating work if you're into people watching like me :D
 
Hopefully one day. Yeah, a friend of mine was a mental health nurse. One patient was jealous cos she was pregnant. Rammed a chair into her stomach. I wouldn't take the risk either! Hopefully will get my foot in the right door soon! :)

Doing another night shift tonight. Dunno who's decided not to come in tonight. Least i have tomorrow off :)
