“Yeah mate. Yep. Yeah see ya. Kay. Right-o. bye.
Me boss.
He’s a right good bloke, not like some bosses.
I was on the train this mornin’. Some poor bastards on the phone to his boss and tell him he’s gonna be late.
Fair enough, the train was delayed.
And his boss, he just went berserk!
Yellin’ at this poor bloke,
didn’t look too smart in his fancy suit and tie then, did he? Nah.
These buggers forget that it’s blokes like us
that make those massive towers and stuff
they spend their days in sippin’ their coffee worryin’ about lunch.
And gettin’ yelled at by those fatarse bosses.
Nah.
Everyone reckons they’ve got better jobs but mate,
if you’ve got some bugger of a boss yellin’ at yer all day,
I know what job I would choose.
If I told my boss what’d happened and I was late,
he’d go fair enough, not yer fault now get ta work!
No problems there.
Better’n school.
I didn’t learn shit at school.
You learn nufin. Atall.
I didn’t do shit in maths, English, whatever.
Mate, I learn more talkin’ to me mates shovellin’ concrete than I ever did readin’ a book.
Make the kids actually do more stuff outside the school,
I say. Make ‘em talk to each other.
Not just their friend and stuff, but.
Everyone. And make ‘em do some work or somethin’. They’ll learn more’n their teachers could give ‘em.
Hold on a sec – I’ve got the wife on the phone.
Yeah?
Look, if yer old man don’t want you, don’t visit him. No car? He picked you up?
Well… no, don’t say that.
I said don’t say that you know I don’t do that anymore.
Look, if he’s going to sit there smokin’ my shit every day sittin on his arse doin’ nofin’,
just leave him alone, kay? Yeah.
Yeah, look, catch a taxi.
Yeah, catch a taxi, and I’ll pay.
Okay. Love you. Love you. Bye.
Taxi taxi. I spend half me life payin’ for a taxi.
Got a smoke on you? Yeah? This is my stop.
One for the road?
Ta mate.
See ya tomorrow.”

LOL! Very funny...
Fun story & I like the contradiction of the "suit" getting it from the "Boss" & then the blue collar worker getting it from the "wife boss"! Cool...yup. Everyone has to answer to someone, no matter what their circumstance! I'm disabled & on SSID, so in a way I have to answer to the Government! I really only answer to my Heavenly Father, but don't tell them that...."they" might cut me off! ROFL...yeah..right! If everyone lost their SSI & SSID there'd be a revolt! Sounds like you're from Australia mate! Good job. It made me smile!!!
