What're you doing up right now?

[TransitJohn]

Me, I'm a geologist working on a drilling rig pulling the night shift opposite my compadre. We each do 12 hrs. I go home in a week and a half.

[Dookus]

1. I'm coming down

from an exciting Courtney Love concert.

[TransitJohn]

5. Wow.

I don't think I could've endured that rock show.

[Dookus]

8. "not endured"

meaning died? Only if she hit you directly with the mic, but what're the odds?

[TransitJohn]

14. Just wouldn't have

made it through the whole thing, even if it were free. Not my thing. I enjoy alittle more melody.

[UdoKier]

41. I always liked "Malibu"

great song.

[Eurobabe]

2. in my weird fall pattern, up at 3:30-4am everyday

i think i need a new bed, like a tempur-pedic!!

[UL_Approved]

3. College student

Just passing the time and trying to study for mid-terms.

[TransitJohn]

11. Shouldn't you be stuffing

some diggity dank into a glass pipe? :hippie: :smoke:

[Whoa_Nelly]

24. ROFL

I think my diggety-dank pipe is now clean and ready for a good firing! ROFL...love it being called diggety-dank!

[TransitJohn]

29. Lots of good terms.

kind, chronic, Alaskan thunderfuck, catpiss, nugs, nuggets, dank, greenbud, man, I miss the west coast.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. I went to bed around 1:30 AM, which is pretty early for me.

It is now 6:56 AM. I usually get up around 7:30 AM, but I've been up since 4:30 AM.

So in summary, my sleep schedule is absolutely fucked.

[TransitJohn]

7. I recommend beer.

Lots and lots of beer. Pass out by 9pm, up at 7am. Voila! regular sleep pattern.

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I don't drink.

Any other suggestions?

[TransitJohn]

18. Lots of strenuous activity

in the evening time, followed by a hot shower. If you still get up a little to early, go for a walk.

[ghostsofgiants]

36. Ugh, I'll stick with the fucked up sleep pattern.

[Champ]

6. Listening 2 MUSIC!!!!!!

[TransitJohn]

19. Whatta ya spinning?

n/t

[Champ]

26. Lots of artists

Mostly sad/love likes songs the last 3 I listened too was "Hero" Enrique Isglausgus(Spelling is way off I'm sure), "Cold and Empty" Kid Rock(My favorite song of his), and "Do for Love" 2pac

[TransitJohn]

30. Iglesias and Tupac, eh?

feeling a mite eclectic, are ya? Sweet. Ever hear of the Mother Hips? My favorite band, play kickass indie music with a California Soul. www.motherhips.com Should have some free downloads. Look for a song called Transit Wind. That's where I got my handle.

[Champ]

32. I like pretty much like all genre's

Not sure about Iglesias but tupac is good, "Do for love" is one of my favorites. I haven't heard of that band, I'm trying to check them out but I can't play any of their videos due to some "unsupported audio" :shrug:

[TransitJohn]

33. Let your real player update itself.

[DiverDave]

9. getting ready for work

I got to sleep at home last night, as apposed to my truck.
Gotta love this dedicated run :) I'm by my house every day.
I deliver to Costco stores in VA and MD but mostly VA.

[TransitJohn]

10. 3s and 8s to ya, good buddy.

Keep yer peddle to tha' metal.

[DiverDave]

12. Thanks

I got the coffee on and gotta jump in the shower.

You be careful on that platform.

Later,

Dave

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. Drinking some wine

and celebrating that there are NO FLEAS IN MY HAIR!!!! WooHoo!
It's been an hellacious last three weeks with the flea infestation in my home.

[TransitJohn]

20. Never fun having to confront the vermin.

I've had to bomb a coupla of prior residences before.

[bloodyjack]

16. Oh, crap!!! I should really go to bed!!1!

Thanks for the reminder!

:hi:

[lady raven]

17. I wish I had a reason to be awake

But my sleep schedule is fucked too. I am all keyed up lately (I'm sure it's election- mania) and not getting much sleep. I'll probably pass out and sleep for two days afterward. LOL

[TransitJohn]

22. Sounds like a coke binge.

Thought of running for president? Haha.

[lady raven]

25. Moi?

I'm drug free, thank you. Just a bit wound up. But maybe if I were really vague and wouldn't confirm or deny, but MAYBE SORTA confim, they would make me President too..

[TransitJohn]

27. Hey, just kidding.

It's been a boring night, this crazyass drilling crew got stuck a mile and a half down when tripping the drill string out, and i got nothing to do.

[boilerbabe]

43. What is "tripping a drill string out"

Does that mean they blew out some breakers?? Just curious
Used to work in an oil refinery, and an now working in a power plant...
Just love that industrial stuff..

And 12 hour shifts are the "norm" around here...if I was on my regular schedule, would have like 14 days off each month...but we are getting ready to put our new cogen online, so can we say HAVE NO LIFE??

[TransitJohn]

46. Pulling drill pipe

out of he wellbore is known as "tripping out." (I'm not making this up.) Putting drill pipe in the bore hole (as opposed to drilling forward when the bit is on bottom) is known as "tripping in." Collectively, all of the BHA (bottom hole assembly) and the drill pipe is known as the drill string, as it can get long (we're about 2 1/2 miles deep right now). Drill pipe comes in 30 ft sections. These are known as joints. Just tripping out 30 foot joints, man. :hippie: :smoke:

[Kierkegaard]

21. Remembering how easily gout will prevent you from sleeping.

:cry:

[Metatron]

51. Hope you feel better soon

I have been afflicted with gout before and was not prepared for that anount of pain. It was impossible for me to sleep, too.

[KT2000]

23. Wacked out sleep schedule

Now it is 4, 5 or 6 am bedtime.

Housecleaning chores are usual at this time but tonight it is computer cleaning.

[Aunt Anti-bush]

28. Drinking my customary pot of coffee

to get myself ready for another work day. Thank Goodness it is Friday because I seriously cannot take one more week day this week.

[TransitJohn]

31. Whadda ya do?

While you're slavin' for the Man?

[Aunt Anti-bush]

37. I slave for TWO men.

A father and son who own their own home improvement company. Don't freak out now, but I'm a telemarketer. I'm not some nasty ignorant bitch telemarketer, though. My bosses believe we should never bother anyone who's on a do not call list and we don't have to pressure anyone. Mostly we contact customers and we get a lot of call ins. Sounds like a terrible job, but there's no where else I could stand for 8 hours a day.

[TransitJohn]

47. Do they let you drink on the job?

If so, that would be ideal.

[Aunt Anti-bush]

52. No, but it is so funny you should ask.

There are only 2 telemarketers, myself and another lady. She left to go get herself lunch yesterday and was asking myself and our 2 front office girls if anyone wanted anything and we all were kidding around naming various liquor.

It's actually a much easier job than you'd think, though. In our area the business is very well respected and it's quite rare for anyone to even hang up or get upset with the call.

[humanbeing]

34. I'm chatting with my girlfriend online, and she's...

...in Finnish time, being in Finland, and being Finnish.

Tha means when it's 2am here, it's high noon there.

[Skittles]

35. I work 12 hour shifts too, nights

I'm off right now but still tend to stick to the night hours unless I have appointments during the day.

[qnr]

38. I'm reading your post, of course n/t

[donheld]

39. Getting ready to go to bed and stealling your US

[TransitJohn]

48. Bwahahahahahahaha

My penguin slap got "stolen" earlier. Have at it, it ain't mine. :beer:

[UdoKier]

40. Drinking Asahi Super Dry

Great beer with more alcohol than most.

Wishing I was 22, trim, rich and free...

[TransitJohn]

50. Yes, it is good.

I put myself through college as a brewer, great job for an undergrad. Drink one for me, I won't be home for about a week and a half. :beer: :beer: :beer: : beer:

[VOX]

42. Putting off scooping the cat-boxes...

Really should get going, though.

[aldian159]

44. Taking off my costume

I just got in and I'm trying to take off my Rev. War American officer's uniform while trying not to move too fast, cause I'm a little tipsy, as my mom would say...

[mockmonkey]

45. I work 2nd shift

There is a Kerry rally in Appleton at 7:30 a.m. This has been the only chance I have had to see him in person. I am so bloody tired. But this is worth it, even if it means standing in the rain for hours.

[TransitJohn]

49. Go!!!

I plan on going to his inauguration on Jan. 20, should be a powerful speech.
