Renovations...

Man what a break I had! For the first time ever I managed to get heaps done (with the help of friends and Dad). Saturday was the day, D-Train (Dwayne) rocked up at 7am which was a bit too early for me as I was still in bed. So after an ice coffee it was straight down to Bunnings to get the antenna and some double power points.

Dwayne got straight into when we got back, while I started hacking the crap out of one of the trees in the backyard. It didn’t take to long after it was all completed, which was a good thing because as Dwayne finished Clae rocked up with the chainsaw. Unfortunately I didn’t get to have a go as the blade kept clogging up when we started on the rubber tree stump so it was back Old school style! (An axe that is).

We had out first casualty for the day when Clae broke my new shovel so it was another trip to Bunnings, plus I also got a bigger ladder. Some advice for people who are thinking about planting a rubber tree, DON’T! They are a complete nuisance and the root system destroys everything on its path. Dad then rocked up and started on the shower taps, we got rid of the constant annoying drip (thank god), so the place is slowly getting there! Saturday night I was dead tired so stayed home and watched TV.

Today at work was well different! With the extensive amount of rain that we had this morning, the workshop turned in a series of water falls, the roof couldn’t cope and sprung several leaks, and they were bloody big ones as well. And then this afternoon one on the forklifts burst into flames while someone was on it! Thankfully there were no injuries but I’m wondering what will happen next? I’m thinking the plumbing will stuff up and we won’t have water?!?! As long as it happens here and not at home, that’s all I care about….

30!

It’s been a long week and its only Wednesday! Probably didn’t help that getting slightly intoxicated on Saturday night at my birthday bash didn’t really help. The night in a way was good/bad. Good that I managed to catch up a lot of people that I haven’t seen in a long time and to be able to cut loose! The bad thing was the people that didn’t turn up who said that they would.

It was a busy night, heaps of alcohol, dancing and a “romantic” encounter with an unknown female! Ahh yes just like an episode of The OC, oh I forgot to mention about my friends trying to be real suttle about myself “hooking up” with a female companion from salsa. Who happens to be seeing someone already! I know that this friend is interested but I could only ever be just friends.

Yes it was a different night! And I did pay for it the next day, feeling like I had just had an encounter with a large truck! Oh you gotta love the after effects of a big night out. To bad it had to correspond with Mothers Day (and my actual birthday), so I ended up at the parents place for a few hours in recovery mode.

If you ever have a hangover and not to sure what works, well the answer is:
- Drink heaps of water
- KFC (original recipe)
- Several new release DVD’s

Back to the present though and last night was salsa night! Yeah it wasn’t too bad, I’m still in Intermediate 2 and thankfully so is Christine! I have been teasing her heaps since we have been in the same classes and she generally hits me back and calls me names (yeah its really mature stuff at times) :P but we always have fun!

Last night after all the banter I surprised her by being nice, which really put her off guard cos she was speechless! And Im hoping that it worked. One day soon I will ask her out, just waiting for the right time that’s all… Damn dating is hard!

My Workplace Part 2

This is Mark, he works on the other shift from myself so I hardly ever see him, I have known him for many years from working back at head office. He is probably the closest thing that you will ever get to being Ned Flanders. Mark is the most nicest guy that I have ever known. Like Ned, Mark never swears and generally acts like Flanders. Mark and Ray have a Homer/Ned relationship going on.... need I say any more!

My Workplace

This is the BOSS, Ray is probably the best Boss that I have ever had and even though he looks like Barney he is great to get along with unlike some off my other previous Bosses. Like Barney he does like his alcohol though...

The Worst Team in the NBA!!!

Say what...

Man I cant believe that its May already! And also nearly my Birthday, which wouldnt really bother me to much if i was ending my tenure in the 20's! Yes I am turning 30, which sounds hella old and probably is but there are pro ball players still playing at 40 so I have no excuse for feeling like an old age pensioner...

The BIG PARTAY will be at The Deen so looking forward to catching up with heaps of old friends and generally get pissed and run amuk!

The house is SLOWLY getting there, an emphasise on slowly! I painted the laundry and started on the toilet so next break im just gonna go hard and get it done cos it really shouldnt take that long to do. One thing that did annoy the crap out of me was that I organised to get 3 quotes to have the tree stump taken out and for some pruning to some of the trees, anyways NO ONE turned up so I pretty much have decided to to the shite myself (if you want something done you gotta do it yourself these days). So all i have to do is organise a big a** bin and im set, managed to get a chain saw from Clae so when its all organised he will give me a hand. Now all i need is a hockey mask "Langford Chainsaw Massacre"....

One thing that I have managed to do since moving is refraim from spending to much money on items that i dont really need BUT temptation is an evil thing and I found myself somehow at JB Hi Fi looking at DVD's. And yes I bought some which were on special mind you (that was my reasoning for buying them). Anyways I bought the First season of Star Trek The Next Generation, Friday and Next Friday. Having been a Star Trek fan for ages its taken myself ages to get the first season, but the fact that they were so bloody expensive to buy I never bothered, but when theres nearly 60 bucks discount how could i resist?!!?!? The movie "Friday" is a classic, back in the day we would watch it over and over again (helps when you have a friend who works in a video store).

Well the NBA regular season is finally over and my beloved TrailBlazers finished dead last! Now I just hope that they get the first pick in the draft and draft THE RIGHT PLAYER!
Anyways gotta shoot, currently at work and its nearly morning tea time so adios!
