Enjoy your new job.

My last day at my current job tomorrow although by the sounds of it there won't be much work done. In fact the GM told me last week to have my work done by Thursday to leave Friday for goodbyes.
Lunch is booked ... 11am - 3pm. I feel there will be more than just lunch going on. Drinks at the pub starting at 5pm.
Staff had a whip around to get me a leaving gift that I got today. $275 voucher for here ... http://budgetmotorcyclespares.co.nz/
Awesomes!

I'm going to suggest that as Oakie hasn't replied by 22:30, probably very well... and probably very well deserved too!How'd yer final day go Oakie?
Let's await the report of the first day in the saddle... all the best for Monday!

How'd yer final day go Oakie?Well thanks for asking. Had a lovely last day. Tidied up some loose end until 11am then 9 of us went here http://www.crateescape.co.nz/ 4 in one rom, 5 in the other and fortunately I didn't get the 'cold room' ... @ 3 degrees.
Followed that up with a meal out then back to work for a couple of hours before heading off to the pub for a couple of bevvies before Mrs Oakie came and picked me up and carted me home with a nice Indian takeaway for late tea.
Don't miss the work but realised on the way home how much I'm going to miss the three ladies I shared my office with.
Still ... roll on Monday!

The idiot loves to take massive leaps towards a conclusion that only makes sense in her mind. Obviously hasn't heard of OSH or PPE that is supplied by an employer.
I thought of you while out for a quick blat today. A postie giving it "what-ho!" across the roads and along the footpaths with loads of lean angle happening as well! He was certainly having a good day at the office!

Speaking of lean angle, after my first delivery run today I was heading back to base and started enjoying the big sweeper that goes back under the road into 'Dakota(?) Park by the airport when I remembered I was on skinny tyres instead of my own bike. Buttoned off quite a bit at that point.The idiot loves to take massive leaps towards a conclusion that only makes sense in her mind.

Good on you with the new job! They say get a job doing something you love doing and you'll never work another day in your life. Truer words never wuz spake.
A year or two ago I applied for a job as an NZ Post motorcycle postie... Got called back for an interview, but something else came up at the same time, so I declined the interview and withdrew my application. I sometimes still wonder if I should've taken that branch in life rather than the one I did take... Anyway, enjoythe job... getting paid to cruise around on a motorbike!
Smarty pants... since ages ago
Semtex is great for opening doors (and leaves them wide open for future use) ...but it has other uses. You can go fishing with it ...

Worked 8.30am to 2.30pm today and at the end I knew I'd done an honest 6 hours work. Quite mentally tiring and even got a couple of blisters on my thumbs from doing the delivery part without gloves. Getting some fingerless gloves tomorrow. Enjoyed the ride home on my own bike and within a few minutes of getting home I felt great. Even did some housework to make Mrs Oakie happy when she gets home later on.

Next you'll be saying you are losing weight and giving up the gym membership as well.

Weather wise, summers the worst with the heat and wearing gear...
You will find it frustrating in rain how fucken shit the paper is they make envelopes from nowadays, a couple of droplets and you're potentially reading pretty juicy confidential shit on the guy who owns the letterbox, you've just pulled up to...
Be prepared for superhero status and have you're autograph signature sorted, every small kid around thinks you have the best job around, barring working in a chocolate factory
If you smoke tobacco, preroll for rainy days cause you're fingers will not dry up
Make sure you've got good storage area and hot water cylinder to dry out wet gear.. at least start you're next morning damp but warmish. Even good gear will have wet cuffs, collar etc
