i've heard of that trick but the doc told me there may be side effects.. that's why using pain killers to clear up hangovers are a no go for me :oops:

Meh, you guys have nothing to complain about, the last few weeks I have been working midnight-8am on weekends and 4am-10am on weekdays

I'll be waking up at about 6pm saturday for this, going to a party, work from 12-4am, picking up alex then heading over

Now I command you to feel sorry for me :P

Well then skip the party, Its not going to be that great anyway, get more sleep.
Your more than welcome to go by yourself on this one, or maybe you can just stay at work til 8am. Your choice.

Berowra ferry – (UBD reference 93, Q3 to 94 A3)
24 hours, 7 days a week
(closed for maintenance on the second Tuesday of each month from noon to 2.30pm)

The Berowra ferry crosses Berowra Creek at Berowra Waters from Bay Road (Tourist Drive 11) to Berowra Waters Road. The trip takes approximately 3 minutes.

I didn't even know our ferry was 24hr..!
awesome, its also the quickest way across to Penrith.

Har! You're all suckers if you have to work those types of hours :P
It's one thing if you wake up still pissed at 4am, but it's another if you're normally awake at that time.

I suppose it wouldn't be a problem if that was your regular schedule, but I'd be absolutely ripped if I had to do uni during the week at normal times, then have to do those ridiculous weekend hours.

When I was your age, I was working a bar on weekends, and I thought finishing at 3am was bad (although by the time we'd closed up it was 4...).

Will see how I feel. At this point in time it's looking unlikely purely because I want to catch up on sleep. The cold I can handle.

I love sleeping in but only when there is nothing better to be doing.
