I got rostered on 10 days straight from yesterday! Don't mind though, as it includes Boxing Day and New Years day, when I get $59/hr! Yesterday I got paid that to fold napkins, and polish glasses for the restaurant.

I was craving a pie yesterday... went round for ages... but all the bakery's were closed n the one that I found that was open n not scungy looking... didnt have any normal pies... only savoury things...

The lunch lady just showed up at work... everybody got a shock when we heard 'Herro... runch rady'.... so got me a spring roll lol... whoohooo (not as good as a pie tho!)

I come into work over the break to clean my workshop floor - I do half today and the other half tomorrow or friday.I have to shift all the cars and equipment from one half of the shop to the other.Kinda boring.I have all the crap in the rear of the shop and am just letting some degreaser work on the black spots,next I'll hose it off and then do the real work - cover the floor in cleaner,scub it in,hose and squeegee it off.At various periods I will stop and drink some wine,eat some food and cruise the internet.

See you on my next rest period.

i'm working through - start again at 7pm. 2 of the guys had a bit of a shocker though - breakdown in whangarei on xmas eve evening - couldn't get a charter flight up on xmas morning so had to drive. stuck in traffic north out of auckland. got to whangarei, spent 4 hours pulling it apart only to find it was totally fucked, so drove home. 16 hours on xmas day, then drove up again on boxing day morning (with another engine in the back) for another 18 hour day.

their partners are not very happy...

It is pissing down with rain here in Darwin, so I don't really mind being at work.

Take care out there

Well we were going to hit the road for a ride at 10am and its pissing down where I live so we'll relax and wait a while - the weather man claims its clearing. So we plan on lunch in the Wairarapa today.

Well, looking at the call out book for the last few days, there have been no call outs, though it'll be just my luck I'll get hammered...

The distance isn't too much of a problem, I'm taking the company vehicle for the duration, so it's not my gas... huzzah!

Went back to work on wednesday, started at 6.30am and finished at 1am the next (thursday) morning. Was back at work at 8.00am and finished at midnight last night. Back in the office at 0800 this morning and MAN OH MAN.........

Am I itching for a good ride!!!

The Welly weather is teasing me too. So..........

I'm knocking off at 2pm, F@#K Work! I'm going riding!!!

Good thing is..... Last night was my last night sleeping with a Freckin pager beside the bed!
Starting new job in one week. 37.5 hours a week instead of the usual 45-50 and it's easier work and pays better!
Doh! What was I thinking all this time???

Enjoy your ride this arvo Dafe - according to the forecast the rain isn't due until tonight.

OK I've finished breakfast, may as well get on with the day - see ya later.

As for rain, I forgot to mention it on the other thread but when we went up the 'takas yesterday it was still raining up there and man was the road covered in oil and diesel - there were running streams down the road of the rainbow looking stuff so I did my best to keep out of it. Hopefully all washed clean by now.

It actually wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't so much work to do, but for some reason they are expecting quite a bit produced today, but the customer has yet to supply the information for it all... like missing 75% of it at present, talk about trying to make something out of nuthing... I'm good but I'm not quite THAT good!
