Nah hang on. I pulled a shift today that got me to Kunnus... Checked in at the hotel and I was given four tickets to the moonlight festival. Spent the afternoon checking up on some business (different story), went down to the crossing with a few beers, the pub, moonlight festively, the pub again, all on the bosses tab... Not a bad way to spend a Saturday in my opinion. Plus I get the next few days off to boot......
Swap jobs with you. I work in a call centre. 8 hours of taking calls, Nothing else and no company perks. But it pays the bills.
No sleep? My night shifts consisted of, arrive, handover, BBQ dinner, TV. Check some emails, ice cream, TV, bed, wake up just before handover (assuming no breakdowns). Wasn't bad.
a.k.a graveyard shift.
i heard on the radio tom waits was talking about the origin of the expression graveyard shift.
"what happened in the old days, way back, hundreds of years ago, people were very nervous about being buried alive, not anymore nervous than we are today its just that the technology was not really with it. you could be taking a nap and they'd farken bury you. so, there was a law that everybody who got buried had to have a string tied around their wrist in the coffin and then they'd run it up through the roof of the coffin and then they'd go up through the dirt and then they'd go over the branch of a tree on which they'd put a bell. and then there's a guy who sits in the graveyard all night long waiting to hear a bell. that's the graveyard shift. the bell and the whole apparatus and everything, you know if you find the guy who actually is alive and underground, he's called a dead ringer"
creepy as
If i believed that I reckon Ive won a couple of mill pound in the UK mobile lottery or is that the Nigerian lotto
OH I'd believe it.
Do you know where we get the expression to 'cross the thresh-hold' from?
An interesting old language is ours.
And you REALLY dont want to know how the expression " I dont want to blow smoke up your ass,,, but, ......" came from.
But it did apparently start back in the jurassic period before interwebs and mobile phones (late 70's early 80's if my skooling is correct
) by a now extinct and misguided evil satanic cult called "The Poledancers"
Thank god we as humans can learn from the mistakes of the past.
