Got forced to work a double shift tomorrow 6am to 11pm. Haven't been in the best of moods and just don't know how I'm going to cope.

Good luck honey. Take it hour by hour as you have to. It is a long day, but it will come to an end. Pack plenty of food! That tends to help me on long days.

That's a really long day P, but I echo the others-- just take it an hour at a time and take plenty of food.

You can get through it even if it's tough hopefully it will keep your mind occupied and just try not to stare at the clock! That's what I used to do when working and the longer I could go without looking at the clock the faster things would go. BIG HUGS!!

Sorry pagan! It stinks when that happens but I know you can get through. Take your breaks and yes, pack some good food. Rest well once it's over and do something nice for yourself next free day you get.

Hey P that is a long day...

I'm faced with similar things... Bring snacks and drink a lot of water.... That really helps me when I'm working long hours....

It means you get rest right after?

Maybe if you get a break you could stop and check in with us. It helps sometimes to take a break for friends and re-energize you.

Nester has a great idea. If you get a long lunch maybe you can rest a bit close your eyes and think every half hour you're getting closer to ending the shift. Check in if you can with us.
