This place is rather... dead.

Yep, dead. There have been no posts for over two hours. And god knows there may be no posts for another two hours after this...

D'oh!

not dead only sleeping

//goes back to sleep

 

Sorry, sleeping too.

 

hey Derek! you got a night off tonight? how's the new job working out so far?

 

When I find a way to post in my sleep I'll let you know.

 

hi Kerryn!

 

No, I work again tonight. Shouldn't be too bad, I think I'll be making onion rings all night.

I think I'll take Wednesday night off, and Saturday night for sure cause I'm visiting the girlfriend

 

Hey Tom.

It's 9am monday morning. Not the happiest person in the world today. Stupid work.

 

that's cool, are you starting to get used to the night shift?

EDIT: yeah Kerryn, tell me about it, sunday is my long shift. my job isn't that bad, but it's not like there isn't anything i'd rather be doing.

 

yeah, i actually got some sleep today

best parts of night shift are higher pay, no uniforms, and no customers

 

well those are some good bonuses. i think the only drawback to working nights for me would be that i would also have to be nocturnal on my days off, and there wouldn't be anything to do.

you'll have to get your girlfriend on the same schedule

 

My flatmate and I decided last night to go to England in April/May next year, work menial jobs in a pub and just live somewhere else for a while. Now I've just got to pay off my credit card and save some money.

 

moving to england Kerryn?! how exciting!

 

Well, the planning is there. But I'm so sick of 9-5ing it (I'm only 23 for god's sake!) I want to travel and experience other places.

 

I'd like to take off, but I got a $20 000 student loan to pay off

 

debt is a rather sore subject with me as well

but that's really cool Kerryn, i've always wanted to go to england. i will some day, but probably not until my kids are a little older.

 

yeah, Tara wants to move there. I wouldn't mind going for a visit, but they have warm beer there. that's just wrong.

 

Hi everyone!

I've been to England a couple of times, naturally. I know London better than Amsterdam, I think. And I've been to Liverpool, Cambridge, Manchester (where my brother's girlfriend used to live), and Dover.

I love England.

 

hi Casper! what's happening in your corner of the world?

 

I'd like to take off, but I got a $20 000 student loan to pay off

Yeah, I've got a $14000 student debt to pay off but it can wait till I get back.

 

Ha! good theory

 

i'm into my second year of deferment on my student loans, they can't wait much longer

unless of course i go back to school

 

I might just change my name and skip the country

 

I guess we have a different system in Australia. The government pays for your university fees and then you have to pay the government back. It's called HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme). The good thing about it is if you earn under a certain amount ($25000 per year or something) you don't have to pay it back. It comes out of your pay each week (about 3-5% of your income), so you gradually pay it back.

 

Hi, Tom. Not much happening here. I did manage to nearly finish the work that had been piling up.

I haven't got any loans, by the way. A lot of people I know, do. Must be a nuisance.
