The official nightshift thread....

Very sad.

Tuesday night... 10 hrs to go....

@lilaclovebird - your girl Jeanette sounds familiar.

I have a friend who works for "the county" back in the PHL area where I used to live, and - man, oh man.

I don't know how you do it.

The rampant, shameless nepotism and favoritism that goes on there is beyond what anyone who doesn't deal with it firsthand could possibly imagine.

Their IT director is the son of a county commissioner who has never worked in IT before, has zero people, supervisory, or management skills, and has no clue whatsoever how his department functions.

And he's untouchable.

The IT director gig is the third job he's had since "going to work for the county" because he's been a colossal fu(!<up in every capacity he's worked in.

I don't know that Jeanette is "connected" that way, but I can't imagine why they put up with her $h!t otherwise.

It's just damn near impossible to get fired from our positions with the state unless you eff up in a seriously colossal way.

She will be getting a negative Performance Based Notation(PBN) for this latest stunt. I admit, I'm not as excited as I thought I would be about it.

Today I relieved SPSO(Supervisory Public Safety Officer) Pugh and he said 'don't be hard on my buddy' that she was a 'good worker' and 'we need more of her'. I have no idea if he was joking or not so I responded with "If you say so..."
So she MAY be connected "that way" but I have no idea.

Also, it's my FRIDAY!!!! I'm going to sleep until the sun goes NOVA tomorrow/this morning. SO EXCITED!

Today is my Monday... and its an OT day... Blah! Staff meeting tomorrow before work as well. On the bright side... I get to go work out in ten minutes.

@sufferlandrian Hopefully busy makes the time go by faster. I feel like my night is flowing like molasses. I did get a good work out in though, so.... that hour is gone... whats next?

I typically wake @ 3pm. Shower and ready for work, leaving house by 4pm. I eat a protein bar on way to work (lunch). At work, between 5-9 I have a banana, and a couple of tangerines, or perhaps 5 crackers (snack). Then I eat my dinner between 9-10. I reset my calories at midnight, and work out at 1am (fortunately my work allows that), and after the workout, I have a protein shake (breakfast), and then I do not eat anything else before going to bed at 6am

I've had this app for a while but I have never really used it. I work nights and I can't seem to stop the calorie count from resetting at midnight which is only half way thru my day. Any ideas?

Unfortunately there isn't any way that I have found to reset them at midnight. I just do calorie intake from midnight to midnight.

So, hit the diary button then hit the arrow at the top, it will take you to yesterday. Then add any food you eat. I track my days from when I wake up to when I go to sleep. Start the new day when you wake up.

I have my diary day set up in 4 hour increments:

12AM-4AM
4AM-8AM
8AM-12PM
12PM-4PM
4PM-8PM
8PM-12AM

and I record whatever I eat in the appropriate time slots. It's been working for me(when I make good choices )
Perhaps you could try that @LooserPaul ?

You have to change the "meal names" by logging in on a computer and going to "food" and then into "settings" and from there it's pretty self explanatory.

with working second shift, i did the same thing: my intervals are midnight-8am, 8am to 3pm, 3pm to 8pm, and 8pm to midnight.
