At least you have seabreeze to while away the shift some topics here on heavy weather,probably put you to sleep, so be careful.

Agreed. At work now.

Oh yeah the no big bosses thing is good but still a crap way to spend Saturday nights.

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.

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

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.
