The night shift thread

[dannyjpuk]

Who is on and what you up too

And who is at work like me :-(

Last shift I finish at six so not too bad

[Ian-Highlander]

I'm on, sitting in bed with the tv on in the background, Amy snoring away happily next to me and I'm sat here monitoring the Vec-C server and working on more optimisations for it.

I am on Vec C . Com too ,

watching YouTube music videos as well .

Recently discovered a great song from 1972 ( one year before i was born )

Called ............... " Alone Again Naturally " == By ............. Gilbert O'sullivan .

It's got really interesting lyrics about .....

climbing a tower to throw yourself off ,,,,,,,, being stood up at a wedding ,,,,,,,, being cheerful but life knocks you down ,,,,,,,,,,,, questioning god .............. the singers father dying and his mother not understanding why the only man she had ever loved had been taken ,,,,,,,,,,,, And then she passed away and the singer was left alone , Naturally .

it sounds depressing ,,, but it's a great song .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv-xJ8cRtMQ == I think this cover version is as good as the original .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzh9TieKS1o ====== THE ORIGINAL SONG .

In a little while from now
If I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that’s tough
She's stood him up"
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to well wouldn’t do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Or if He really does exist
Why did He desert me in my hour of need
I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more hearts
broken in the world that can’t be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

Alone again, naturally
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn’t understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

Working nights is a doddle!, If you have the right job/hours! I'm on Mon-Fri 8.30pm start to job & knock (anywhere from 03.30-04.30/ 04.00 max on fri) so its fairly easy compared to all this 12 Hr shift over all days of the week stuff!, Good on you all who have to do it but its not for me Big Style i'm afraid, Work are good when you need to do something personal as i did this morn & they let me go after 4 hrs with full pay .
