Friday Arvo

[Termite]

It would seem to me that from the amount of activity on the website of a Friday afternoon (me included) that there is a lot of people out there who
1. Are retired.
2. Are the boss.
3. Have stuff all to do at work after lunch on Friday. (I knock off at 2.30 for this reason). :eek:
If the reason is mostly No 3 then lets start a push for a 4 day week so we can spend 3 days in the shed instead of 2.
Aint it great what you can think of when you're trying to fill in time.
Kind (yawn) regards
Termite

I once asked my employer if I could work 4 10-hour days instead of 5 8-hour ones. He wouldn't be in it. So now I work 5 6-hour days and play here for the other 2. That's fair innit?

We don’t usually do much on Friday afternoon. Sometimes I even go out and play basketball until 3pm.

People here start drinking around 4pm and I just go home to be with my family. Isn’t life wonderful? Work for 4 ½ days and get 5 days pay.

I'm one of those fortunate individuals that has 7 day weekends and they start on a Sunday and finish on a Saturday. Since I retired from work I find I am busier now than a one legged man in an a*se kicking contest than when I was working for a boss.

The only problem is that the pay is lousy, but you learn to adjust. If I had known how good it was though I would have done it 40 years ago.

But as long as you guys & gals keep working and paying your taxes little Johnny Howard will be able to keep paying me until I am gone and I hope that will be for another at least 25 years.

Normally we all go crazy on Friday arvos but today we are righting the wrongs of the world.

Spring must be around the corner.

Spring must be around the corner

You wouldn't think so here at the moment. Filthy weather, looks like a storm is brewing....

[Wood Borer]

Same here but what's new, probably get rain tonight and on the weekend.

The rain is "persisting" down here and has been for months......

Around here we call Friday "Poets Day".......... P!ss Off Early, Termorrers Satdee!

Send it up here. We haven't had any rain for the last few months. All the plaster joints in my house are cracking because the house moves as the land is drying out.

Probably wont get much rain out of it, hasn't rained properly for months here either. Worst thing apart from the water restrictions is the bloody plague of ants in my coffee machine and the roos that are crapping all over my front lawn.

One shouldn't gloat, but it has been pissing down here since about 7 this morning. This is after about 300mm in the last month. Golfers need kyaks. The Spirit delivers our mail. Everyone now has a pet flathead. Water restrictions - what are they???

[silentC]

It's part of a mainland conspiracy. We're sending all our rain down there in a effort submerge Tassie once and for all. Even the Governer has deserted the sinking ship

New Zealand is next

G'day.

I don't know what it is but, after 3 months of total insanity,
August has been very quiet so far. (touch wood)
Today, not only do I have a bloke off on hols, (gone 3 days now) but
I've also finished for the day & am already up at the cubby in the hills.

Maybe today is even quieter 'cos it Friday the 13TH. :eek:

Poets day is something that we had in the Defence Force too....
Stand down on Fridays was alway (& still is I believe) earlier that
the rest of the week.
