Went and got 4 new drive tyres for the truck this morning, called them up and said I am on my way in and they said 7 trucks sitting doing nothing, you may as well go home.
Call in the morning too, looks like nothing until Wednesday when the asphalt plant starts up again.
So here I am at home, some blokes sitting at quarry doing nothing, I would rather be at home doing nothing.

I go back on Wednesday...Going to be a quiet couple of weeks to begin with but it's going to pick up big time.

Hopefully work this year will see me going to PNG numerous times.

Was meant to be back today but sorting out some issues with the ute. So while I'm waiting for my ute to come back I'm browsing the job sites looking for a new job. Pity I can't find a HR driving job in Bendigo :(

Will be back tomorrow at work... fun fun

I start at 3pm this afternoon. Luckily I only have to to 2 hours (get paid for 3) and then come home again.
Won't have any real work until school goes back and need buses again.

I went back to work yesterday and got the sack for speeding in my own car on my own time on the last day of work last year, Apparently its bad for business and I'm irresponsible. I think i got the sack because i didn't get on with the boss's wife.

Don't go back till the 11th. Would have been middle of feb but I was forced to take leave last year, so I didn't have as much time off as I would have liked. Ohwell.

Yeah first day back.... it is very quiet. Most of our suppliers and clients are still away.

So catching up on emails, filing emails, database cleans ups etc so that we can get ready for the onslaught. But it is very very hard to get motivated to work today !!
