JUB night shift (North America, anyway)

[sdmister4]

i took a nap at 6 and woke up at 10:30

 

[Lukeee]

Just woke up. I went to sleep at 2 in the morning and now it is 10:17

 

[TriBi]

Because I'm in Australia - and it is a perfectly sane time of Sunday evening here.

 

[Ram]

Yeah, same thing as the kangaroo guy.

 

[NineOfClubs]

I work part time in a bar, so two nights a week I get home around 2:00 AM.

Like most people I need some sort of transition between work time and sleep time.

So here I (often) am.

 

[StlKj]

Exhausted, I took a "nap" at 5:30 so I could get up a few hours later and go out.


I woke up at 12:40 a.m.

Now I'll be up until probably 9:00 a.m.

 

[TriBi]

I had no idea you were in Australia!

I don't think he is - but I suspect he is in a 'nearby' timezone - therefore was saying 'same as' to the "perfectly sane time of Sunday evening" part of my post.

Why are YOU up this late?

Or are you up really early? If so, same question applies.

I'M up this late because I'm getting on a better sleep schedule for my new work position.

Very fne question you just asked Swiffer..

I was heading to be about 10 pm... after a very boring Friday night and Saturday night I was going to head to bed...

But then I got online... was talking to a frend from Australia.... and two hours later I'm still up.
But since it's Sunday (now) I don't have too much to do tomorrow... so I can sleep late.

I wish you well in your new work position.. I hope it works out very well for you.
And I hope it doesn't keep you from posting on jub... I like to read your posts/threads.

Fair suck of the sav!

Mate. Are you a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock? I suppose you're a picnic short of a sandwich. Lights are on but nobody is home. You bush oyster. I'm abso-bloody-lutely a fair dinkum Aussie! I thought it stands out like dog's ball!

If it's sarcasm then well mate, it's as dry as a dead dingo's donger!

I'm live in the Alice eh -- used to be a Banana Bender (can't stand the blowies there) but I moved to get a job at a bikkie factory over here. I miss my job at the boozer where I used to drink with the flies. I had a gut full of piss and I blew up my dunny in the boozer. The repairs were to come the raw prawn -- I had to go out like a rood rat to suck quite a couple of doodles to get it done. It was hard to crack a fat. Thought I could find a job at as a fisho selling flake but I was too flat out like a lizard drinking, mate. I'm as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Eh I yabber a lot, mate, this post isn't worth a Zack.

Well - someone has been looking very closely at one of the 'dictionaries of Aussie vernacular' methinks.

Quite amusing - but doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you just string it together like that...

Oh - and I think you mistyped "root rat"

 

[Lefty]

so swiffy, hows the bread slicing? or have you started yet?

tri, thx...i thought seeta was having us on but your explanation was very helpful.

seeta, that post above has convinced me that at times your brain and your alimentary canal are overly full of the same thing and you use jub like a tissue for yr brain eh? j/k i still enjoy you even if it is long distance.

 

[Ram]

You mean do a bushmen's hanky?

Ok, ok, I'll stop with the slangs.

You gotta admit that's ace Aussie talk.

(To clear up any confusion: I am from Singapore which is near Australia. Got some of the Aussie slang off the Internet and rest are from interaction with Australian businessmen.)

 

[TriBi]

^ Ooohh!!!

I think he's calling me a 'businessman'...

*Swoons*

 

[FPNY]

[Lefty]
