If you're looking at a Triumph, does that mean you're be looking for a new home for the CBR ? - one careful :sly: lady owner, only ridden on

I'm not sure what's going to happen, NinjaBoy. Moving is at least 3 months away, so if you spot a bargain, you'd better just grab it, eh?

Celtic - it's absolutely not a sacrifice at all.

It's an opportunity that I'm grabbing.

Avgas - never worked for Westpac, m8. Telecom/Alcatel for the last 9.5 years.

Hitcher - this isn't the first time I've made a big move for lifestyle/family reasons. And last time everything fell into place so easily and it was obviously meant to be.

Thanks for the well wishes & warm thoughts peeps. I just had to share such a great moment.

Good move Lisa. Did it myself a while back - they couldn't pay me enough to do rostered shift now.

**StoneChucker** · 20th January 2005, 21:25

You've done the hard part, so it's all good

A little while back I was really unhappy at work, and needed to leave for my sanity. I stuck it out (wages were too good to leave) and it turns out things are getting better (for the moment, at my work things can change at the drop of a hat). So I'm glad I stayed. BUT, I've only been there for just over 2 years, so after 9.5 years I think you're pretty safe in making your decision. And of course, you are moving to a partner

Again good on you slim! And thanks for the thanks on behalf of all the others.

Know what, KB recently seems to be so full of BS i have almost given up on even trying to keep up with threads i actually do want to read about, such as yours... because all the other crap etc is not enjoyable sifting through but im glad ive read this and for a change of late felt good for someone else on KB!!! Big bloody ups!

Good on ya for having the 'balls' to do that, best wishes to you ( even though I've never met you) I know it takes some 'gumption' to do something like that!!
