It's 10:30 AM fer chrissake. Get up. Sleeping in is bad for you. This business of surfing the Net till 2 AM every night is not good for you. It homogenizes your nervous system, resulting in a vicious circle of computer addiction that can lead to:

Hives, pale skin, allergic reactions, reduced sex drive, Herpes, lazy eye, irritability, incontinence, bags under the eyes, jock itch, hairballs, weakened ability to do headstands, weight gain, weight loss, falling hair, flatulence, flaky skin, and an increased tendency to dismiss the importance of William Shatner.

Get the f**K UP and do it now!

Little Hawk, with due respect, it is 12.37 am in the real world (Sydney, Australia). I say to all you late night catters, "GET DOWN!"

I have been hanging upside down for some hours in the mistaken belief that it is night here. Now, if I spring to action, am I getting Up or Down?

this is all very confusing for a person Down Under.

Breakfast at 1am - ooh there's a novel idea! I suppose I could have a bite or two?

Well, like any red-blooded Orstraylian, when I am up, I sometimes like to get dressed, go out and GET DOWN MAN! - that is unless I am feeling a little bit down, and I decide to stay in and put my feet up.

Liza Wakes Up
(traditional)

Liza (Little Hawk) wakes up early in the mornin'
Kickin' at her husband and yellin' at her kids
Wake up! Wake up! I'm givin' you a warnin'
Or I'll give you a hoppin' fist!

Today is Monday, tommorrow is Tuesday
Wednesday will soon be comin' on!
Ya' better wake up and get movin'
The week's half over and the washin' ain't done!

[dreaming] Magenta and Hilda are waiting for Chongo and all the others to walk into the pub - so that their adventure can continue. I believe Chongo may be distracted en route, partaking of a little home made mango and quandong vodka.

Always use a quandong
Quandongs are the best,
When you use a quandong,
You will stand the test.
Johnny has a quandong,
When he goes out the door,
He always has a quandong
But he doesn't know what for.



Okay, as you were..........

In six days I worked 72 hours. 3x 12hr day shifts from 0645 to 1900 hrs and 3x 12hr nights 1845 to 0700 hrs You find yourself sitting on the edge of the bed with one sock on and one in your hand, not knowing wether to get dressed and go to work, or take the other sock off and go to bed. After 36 years of shiftwork all those symptoms you mentioned are present, but why should I get up at 1030 am ????

get dressed? it is too hot for clothes
over 100 degrees for days now...
how do the bedoins do it
in those long wool robes in the summer??
they say that in turkey when the temp is
up over 120 they drink hot tea to cool down
maybe that was before they invented iced tea?

Dave, you have a good point there. I am going to contact William Shatner, and get him to issue you a special Shatnerial Dispensation. You do not have to get up at 10:30 AM. Consider it done.

Hot tea does help cool you. It makes you sweat...the sweat evaporates...and that helps cool you. Specially when there's a nice seabreeze. Ahhhhh..... (days in Trinidad)

   Freda, your up is the same as anybodies. You point up, that's how it's done.

   So i hope you get 'up' now.
