I WANT A NEW OFFICE


This is my office where I work, I am in the hub of everything and everyone its a real thoroughfare. When I am busy it is difficult to concentrate especially come pay day, rates or end of month, people walk past and want to talk (I don't mind a chat when I am not busy) or the fax machine or photocopier is playing up and they ask me why is this not working? I get cranky and tell them to read the instructions as I am not the bloody mechanic, the worst is when the Ranger is in the office and his mobile phone starts ringing and his ring tone is a bunch of dogs barking - that's when I want to pick his phone up and throw it at the wall. I have asked to be moved but to no avail!

ANOTHER BIG MOTHER ?#%#*#


This is what crawled through the main street yesterday morning hitting and bending a few keep left signs along the way, presumably heading to one of the mines out of town , thank goodness I was not sitting behind one of these going to Kalgoorlie.

45 DAYS TO GO


This is what I am looking forward to when I go to Bali at the Kunja Villas - "THE BATH" so it better have those rose petals in there otherwise it is false advertising, I don't have a bath at home so where ever I go and there is a bath I am in there. Eating, drinking, shopping, massages (the feet), hanging out at our very own pool (having not to share with a hundred others) and sipping on diet coke, munching on Pringles, the company (my adopted family!) and not having to get up for work for 10 whole days - that's what I call chilling. Our dollar better stay high while we are there as we will feel like millionaire's changing a hundred Australian dollars.

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

WORK:
The last couple of weeks have been super busy here at work, with the end of financial year stuff to do, group certificates (I was 24 thousand dollars out but after shutting the books for the day and coming back to it a day later, bingo, found it), new payroll to download (had to converse with some IT guy over east, who I could hardly understand, it was so frustrating, it was the longest 45 minute phone conversation I have ever had, you could just tell in his voice he could not be bothered with me, they get paid an annual fee so when we have any queries they are suppose to be there to help us!). At present we a doing the annual property and mining rates so they should be out in the next few days then we wait for the onslaught of the little old pensioners scurrying in to pay their rates - bless their little souls. Hurry up September - Bali here we come.

MISS TUBBY:
Miss Tubby has settled into life with me though she has been locked out of the house several times as come my bed time and I go to call for her she is nowhere to be seen so out she stays until I hear her meowing at the door at 6.00am so begrudgingly I get up to let her in and give her a stern talking to about staying out all night in the freezing cold.

PURCHASES:
I bought myself an electric throw rug, OMG the best purchase so far, for winter anyway, while watching TV, turn it on, throw if over yourself and you are settled in for the night, pity it does not plug into your cigarette lighter in your car!!! My other purchases was a 19' flat screen TV for my bedroom and a combo Video/DVD recorder - I do a lot of TV recordings (which is still sitting on my floor in the lounge room, waiting for me to connect it up, if I can't there is only one person to call, Miss Technology AC.

FRIENDS:
I received a call from Kelly last night, to say that she has settled into her new position in Port Hedland as Regional Coordinator - Pilbara, Active After School Communities I think she will be much happier there than she was in her last position in Mundaring, told her she had to get down to the local boozer and mingle with the locals.

FOOD:
I had the most delicious, yummo camp oven roast delivered to me last week (meals of wheels) and it was the best roast I have ever had, that delicious that I even licked the bowl. I want a camp oven now and somebody to cook it for me!!

WILL I OVER TAKE THIS? I DONT THINK SO!

This is what I had to contend with on the road a few weeks ago - lucky I was on my way home and only 20 kilometres out of town, the escort vehicle did indicate for me to pass the big mother f.....! on several occasions but I declined as I was only 10 minutes out of town. At times I have no choice but to pass these big dump trucks and that's when the heart is thumping at 100 miles an hour and once you have overtaken them, a big sigh of relief!
