Do a lot of emergency call outs and only ever get Monday daytimes free. Makes meetings and plans very difficult. Don't get me wrong, I don't work everyday it's just I never know when I'm going to be called out. Anyone else in the same boat? |

I work different days every week and do quite a few overtime shifts... sometimes I can go 2 weeks without having a suitable meeting time. Because my shifts change from days to nights I find a lot of people just don't understand that I can't meet at a moments notice. Everything needs to be planned around my working time and sleeping time. As much as I love meets, I still need to sleep sometimes haha |

Definitely. I often work abroad for three to five weeks at a time. Usually preplanned, but sometimes arrangements change at short notice (usually projects getting delayed by a week or two). I've had to cry off some meets because of this. |

I work away a lot. Usually in Yeovil, Portsmouth, Hull etc. Often staying in Hotels. I meet people in the areas I work in. I call them curry buddies, as we enjoy meals out. Not always ending in sex, but again I enjoy the company.
So for me, work improve s my chances. Saying that I get very little success on fab. Mostly face to face meets.  |

Hubby and I work different shifts, he works weekends too so our opportunities to go swinging as a couple are limited.....and then he has his very important hobbies too to fit in (music related)......lucky for me he is happy for me to swing without him sometimes! |

Yep I work shifts and often have to do cover shifts as well, I seem to have had a run of getting offered meets when I'm working and can't get one when I'm off? Frustrating |

Yes fully understand. Work shifts at the hospital and pull in a lot of overtime work to pay for education expenses (mine). When I'm not at work am often very tired. Lots of people don't understand that and think I'm a time waster. Oh well, so be it - I have to pay bills not them. |
