    I’ve done a few yeah ! It’s Definitely knackering. It we get half hour break each shift so half hour in morning and half hour in afternoon which helps to break it up abit more

    Some shifts are better than others just depends what unit I’m working and what mood the residents are in , let’s just say I’ve had some interesting comments said to me 🤣

  • Former MemberFormer Member ☕🌻☕ Posts: 12,938 Born on Earth, Raised by The Mix
    @independent_ what do you mean? Does it like post with half a word even though you put the full word and does it like clear a message and stuff? 
    I've been having issues with my phone on here. Wonder if it's a glicth
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,138 An Original Mixlorian
    @Eleanor I think my internet dies or something and it posts my posts twice

    @GreenTea yeah it’s probably a glitch with my phone my laptop doesn’t do it aha. It’s almost as if the message doesn’t clear properly and half goes back through

    Yes! It's weird.. mine likes to skip back to the middle of a message and carry on with typing to which I then have to delete and start again 🤦‍♀️
