Ha, Bloody AustPost - couldn't organise themselves a root in a brothel.

I've just been informed they have a 5 day backlog for mail deliveries in the Alice Springs area.

I'm screwed! I'll never get this part before the weekend.

Nope, got up at my usual 4am, although I could have used a few more hours. I may catch up on the weekend.

he
really don't know how you can do 4am all the time. like I said before it'd really knock me around. I suppose me having mild sleep apnea is working against me. If I don't get in 10hrs fairly regular I'm falling asleep at my desk by mid afternoon.

I can do 4am all the time, but it would cause me to be really grumpy and angry at the world all the time

Bit like Rick.

Well I go to bed about 9(ish) and I am one of those lucky people that fall asleep in about 30seconds. I also sleep very deep. The only thing that wakes me up is the sound of a car door opening.

Well for me sleep has nothing to do with my disposition. I am just a grouchy old man.

You have got to be kidding me.
Charlottesville City Council Discusses Dealing with Deer - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and Weather

Like there are no more important issues to deal with. This is what happens when a small southern town gets filled up with the Yankee invaders and their lofty ideas. Get a grip people WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY!!!

hehe

We have some social problems that effect the whole town - lost of property crime, stolen cars, graffiti, vandalism, etc. I tend to sleep with one eye open I think. Although sleeping better in our new house. We used to live on a busy pedestrian thoroughfare that linked a less desirable neighborhood to a corner store.

In the four years we were there we experienced a couple of home invasions and lots of graffiti. More in recent times. The move was very welcome.

Well, I'm off. Had enough of this work business for one day.

1/2hr drive home dodging kangaroos, dinner and try my luck at some horizontal folk dancing

See ya all tomorrow

We bought this house 20 years ago and NEVER locked the doors. It wasn't until recently, when some events transpired due to the desperate nature of people did we start locking up. The bad part is I had to go buy new locks because we had no idea where the keys were.
Sucks now but at least my kids knew what it was like to grow up in that type of environment, that is something most people will never know unless you live way out in the sticks like Sid.
