Yes, Helen. Every Aussie I know has told me how common that phrase is.

The ad made me realize that "stopping procrastination" is really the hardest part of my job. Stopping others' procrastination and stopping my own!

Alice,

It has become a fairly common phrase now in Oz.

Many of our Yellow Pages ads have a quirky humour. A lot of them make me laugh.

If you are from Australia, you recognize that phrase,"Not happy, Jan!"

I work for a yellow pages publisher, selling ads. My job is mostly working at getting advertisers to stop procrastinating before the ad deadline. Late one night I was looking at You Tube ads about yellow pages from international tv spots, and I found "NOT HAPPY, JAN!" It cracks me up every time I see it, and every Aussie I meet knows what I mean when I say it.

Here's a link if you don't know what I mean:
