The Night Shift

    Man it's quiet this time of the night - the bulk of this board's posters are asleep in their little beds, although the early risers might be starting their first cups of coffee.

    There's a smattering of Aussies & Poms who cruise the board at this time of the night, but being a Friday night, many Aussies would probably be out socialising or doing something with their families. I'm not doing anything tonight, that's why I'm here and posting. Rather bored, myself, although I have a busy weekend ahead of me. Suppose this is the calm before the storm.

    Anyway, it's the usual ones that frequent the night shift here. It's pretty quiet, but at least you can keep up with the posts. The pace is pretty slow, so it's not that hard to keep up. I tend to go and do other things inbetween reading the posts - watch a bit of TV, make a phone call, have a shower, whatever. Then I come back and read the three posts that were replied to/started in the half hour I was gone.

    It's a lonely time of the night, but at least it's peaceful.

    Hi Prisca, had that shower yet? Sitting at the keyboard in your wet towel, making the seat all moist? ;)

    It's the middle of the day here in the UK at the mo, and I've just done the weekly shopping.

    I'm a (mature!?)student so I get long holidays, which is why I'm about on the board at the minute. I've got a lot of assignments to do though which I should really be working on. :(

    Hi Prisca, et al

    This thread kinda reminds me of how, when in dubdom, we used to find satisfaction in the knowledge that no matter what the time was where we were, someone somewhere was pounding on doors in Jehovah's name!

    Incessant, 24-hour harassment

    One of the amazing things about having the opportunity to travel around the world, is the full realisation that no matter where we are living, there are people living on the other side of the earth living in a different time zone to you. Sleeping while you are awake, working while you sleep, waking up as you are going to bed. Our cultures are similar, yet very different in their own unique ways.

    As a local tv station promo says the world is an amazing place.
