Whiners Anonymous Part 30
No Bam...you're not slow at all. It takes a bit of time to understand Austrailianese.
here's cmc's 411 on Strine for beginners:
breakfast>>>brekkie
presents (as in 'gifts')>>> pressies
biscuit (as in what's called a cookie in the US?)>>>bickie (sp)
:ghug2I think it's a fun and very happy sounding language....
but probably not as conducive to whining compared to what I'm used to hearing where I live.
Somewhere on the web there is a list with more 'translations'

Kev, you can always have popcorn for breakfast, it's cereal (corn) and it tastes good.

How will Queeny stretch her wrinkles out if she cannot smile?
It's just WRONG I tell ya!

Worst case, I'll give myself a duct tape face lift.

Well, Cats, they could learn from your folks over there. I have good teeth, but when I don't smile I look like I am frowning or scowling. I was born with a smile on my face I think.
Good idea, Dee. Or I'll tell them "that's no smile, it's just gas" like you do with babies.
Bad passport photos aren't so bad because you hardly ever use them, but you show your driver's license as ID. The picture I have on mine now is 10 years old. I haven't aged a day so I don't know why I can't keep that one.
Enough of my whining, I've more than made up for lost time here and concede the floor to more worthy whines than mine.
Keep whining back!

Well, me and superior were civil today...I wasn't sure how it'd go. I'm still going to watch it, though.
More work drama...this time from a different person.
I won't bore you with the details...I'm tired of thinking about it. I'm off tomorrow. Yea!
Edited to add:
Gee, this makes me look bad. Better explain a little. One of the long time employees just got demoted for excessive call offs. I had nothing to do with the descision, but the employee is behaving like a wounded animal...lashing out at everyone. Ugh.
