"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Dang!
I completed a new J. Packington Paco story on my lunch break at work today and forgot to send it to my home email. Watch for it Monday!
lunch hour? how long are your lunch hours over there Paco? It must take more than an hour to write up a short story.
Here downunder lunch-time is a lot tougher ... just yesterday my boss phoned me when I wasn't even half-way through the first six-pack. "Fair suck of the sauce bottle mate" I said, "I only just got down to the beach a coupla stubbies back". So he says he's gotta go get footy tickets off the scalper NOW or he'll miss out - can I fill in for him with the Saudi mob that want to drop a couple billion into one our "gold" mine ventures. Yeah, the things I do for him. And still on a lousy 6 figure salary too ...
yer just being selfish.

Monday eh? So does that mean we here in Australia have to wait until Tuesday? Drat!
ReplyDeleteMerilyn I'm not really sure how the whole International Date Line thing works, but I think you read it last Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWhen you fly from Sydney to Los Angeles you'll arrive in Los Angeles before your departure in Sydney. Fair Dinkum. Dateline that!
ReplyDeleteRobert: I said lunch "break". I craftily left out any reference to the actual time expended. Heh.
ReplyDeleteSay, just what is it you do, anyway?
