Hello Tony,
The paid firefighters here use a 2 shift system - day shoft
8AM - 6PM, and night shift 6PM - 8AM.
There are 4 shifts on a rotating basis -
2 days day, 2 days night, then 4 days off.
Then you have 3 times a week a jetlag, that is desastrous for your health, at least your sleeping hours are broken very much.
My brother had a scheme of 3 shifts a week:
2 x Morning: 07:00 - 15:00 h.
2 x Afternoon: 15:00 - 23:00 h.
2 x Night: 23:00 - 07:00 h.
And then 2 or 3 days off.
At 55 years old they go with a kind of pension, receiving 70 % of what they normally earned when working until 65. The may work else to earn that 30 % also, but when comming above that, you will receive less compensation. But since then he still sleeps bad. It seems the damage is permanent ;-(. You can better work a whole week or month at nights,
than that continuing rotating shifts.
Nurses working in the hospital tell you the same.
Henri.

Yes, that's a real problem, but that's how it seems to be done. :(

I think that way should be reconsidered,
as this short shifts changes damages the health of the working people unnecessarrily. That damage is work related and all shifts should be changed, now or in the near future.
At least bij expanding the same shift by at least a whole week,
so you have only a time lag ones a week, in stead of 3 times as now happends.

I saw the same, but it is hardly possible to do.
It reminds me of two piano plyers, of which one had written a song
that could not be played with 10 fingers, because both hands were
to far out of each other to play one middle note.
The answer was play that single key which your nose,
so the smart player won that test.

That seems to be the only thing that keeps Fidonet limping.
The only "active" echo is the FN_SYSOP echo. The SYSOP echo died 1999.

Yes, but if the restriction is only one key per finger, it's
undoable. May be apes can, they have 20 fingers ;-).

That story came from a schoolbook, I never saw it in reality.

No, I hardly ever listen to music anymore since my sudden deafness
in 1993.
There are at least a few echos with more activity than FN_SYSOP.

Yes I am almost complete deaf. In 1993 I lost 50 dBA in only one night. Left I am deaf from my birth, and
right I already had a loss of 45 dBA before 1993.
When I was 19 in 1975 I had a loss of 15 dBA at 2000 and 4000 Hz,
and about 30 dBA at 500 Hz, my worst frequency.
After the 2nd hearing crisis in 1976/1977 I lost 30 dBA in one year
at the MEAO school with my (bi-)cros hearing aid. We did not know the reason,
that was discoverd after the 3rd hearing crisis, called a Sudden Deafness in 1993. With the knowledge of 1993 they had to give me solo-apparatus (Sennheiser 2013 PLL) at that MEAO school in 1975. That technique was already
available since 1968. The teacher waers a microphone with sender, and the pupil
wears a radio receiver connected to the hearing aid.
When I could have solo-apparatus in 1975 that second crisis with 30 dBA extra
loss could have been avoided.
I worked to hard with too less rests and was telephoning to much with my only
less capable bad right ear and BiCros hearing aid.
The left ear was already completely unusable since my birth.
That saturday morning 4th september 1993 I had become a hearing loss of
80 dBA at all frequencies up to 4000 Hz and below at my right ear.
At 500 Hz the loss was 100 dBA, that was the most badly dip!
Also above 6000 Hz the loss was 100 dBA, and above 8000 Hz it was > 120 dBA.
I could not phone anymore, and my BiCros Hearing Aid was useless from
then.
Luckily I recoverd some of the losses, and now it has stabilized at about 65
dBA at all frequencies below 5kHz, but 67 dBA at 500 Hz.
In May 1997 I got my 4th hearing crisis when I was talking to the salary administrator to tell him what I had discovered in my work of
controlling.
I immediately took my rest and cancelled almost all meetings I had
planned.
Neverthe less my Tinnitus, HyperAcusis and Misophony increased besides
the
hearing loss and the Recruitment I already had. Since that year I donot work
commercially anymore and I had to stop wearing a hearing aid anymore.
In some cases I use my Sennheiser 2013 PLL solo set as a hearing aid,
but it still tires me too much, so I only use that as little as possible. For important meetings I can hire in a speech to text reporter with a laptop
and VeloType keyboard. I may only do that for max. 30 hours a year,
that is only 0.3 % of all possible hours available, paid by the
government.
As I am doing work for clubs, they sometimes pay that speech to text reporter.
Nowaydays I very seldom listen to music. Mostly only at the days between Christmas and newyears day to the Radio 2 Top2000 with old songs I heard
in my youth.
I have to be very carefull with the very little hearing I have left.
So I am allways continuesly changing the volume knob, mostly at less
volume as
my bad right ear can handle.
I hope you understand my situation now.

That's very fast.
At the basic school we had to be under the 12 seconds for 60 meters
with a still standing start.
I always needed 14 seconds or more to complete 60 meters hard running.
So I could never reach the most simple A diploma for sports.
Lateron I discovered it had something to do with my less capacity of my lungs. In 1987 it seemed I had only 75 % of the normal capacity for my lenght, weight and body volume compared to normal healthy people.
Before birth in 1956 I had a lack of O2 between 02:00 and 04:00 hours, which has caused in several damages, mostly of hearing and balance and lung capacity and less energy.
I am allways fysically slower than normal people.
I cannot fix that, so I have to do it witch what I have, that's life.

Unless you like classical music, you aren't missing anything.

In stead of that, I continuesly hear the Tinnitus sound as if a vacuum cleaner is allways on the whole day from the moment when I open my eyes
in the morning untill I fall asleep. That makes people with Tinnitus very tired ;-(.

Neither do I but when sitting at the BBS machine I listen to the
traffic on 20m CW. The transceiver is at an armlengts distance so I can adjust the volume and/or frequency.
