Funny how telepathic this board can be. We were only talking about this yesterday at work!

My frinds are all in a different "Life space" to me - either not married or no kids anytime soon. I used to be offended, but they don't want to put you in smoky pubs because they're worried about you.

I've been a shift worker for years, so the staying up late is no prob. Keep putting oyurself out there. Remember that while your situation has changed you personally are still you. Adapt and Overcome I say, and move with the situation. If they are worth working at as friends, don't keep them. We have cyclical changes every 5-7 years, so maybe this is the start of another?

Not being cynical or nasty, just a different view. Not meant to offend anyone please.
