Default Hows ya Holidays going.

Mine are going well LMAO,
Flew back into Perth last Sunday after 2 weeks overseas on service work and looking forward to a easy last week at work> This is what happened instead

Had a 25Yo Bottle of scotch confiscated at customs boarding the plain on the way home.
Got a bad meal somewhere and got the you know what
My Body packed it in Tuesday lunchtime (fell fairly sick), drinking a Cold Glass of water felt like I was drinking scalding Hot water
Spent since then sleeping 18 hrs a day, eating next to nothing and loitering on hear.
Been to the Doctor 2wice for Penicillin injections on top of the 6 tablets I take daily
Waiting for Blood test result to find out WTF is wrong with me

Feeling a bit better today and the 3 Gauge Pod arrived at 2pm Yay!! that lifted the spirits some more, so I sat down mock fitting the gauges and wiring to the pod only to find out find out the Back of Gauge lite wires fowl on rear of gage pod and the Spade connector for the sender wiring dose the same, Just SUPER!!!! Get ****** off go back to bed

Managed to get a invite before I left to a 21st tonight where there will be so many scantily dressed Hot Girls you’d think it was a strip club, Where am I, at home feeling like I have been hit by a Bus and dipped in hot Tar LOL

Merry ****ing Christmas, I must have been a bad boy this year.

first mistake: flying to perth. second? getting on a plain, instead of the more common plane.

should have done like that guy in the paper, customs wanted his 1125ml bottle of vodka, he said "no way" (or similar), and skulled the bottle.

ended up in hospital for his effort. BUT, had you done that, you wouldn't have had the bad meal, and right about now you'd be amongst said scantily dressed hot chicks.

heh..

i got 4 weeks annual leave this year, first time ever.
so far i have half mowed the lawn and ............well thats it.
3 weeks to go till i have to go back to work.
i already know that isnt going to be a fun last few days before work starts again.
im also praying to the Lotto Gods but reality is suggesting otherwise.
i probably should stop drinking for at least 1 day out of 4 weeks too.....argh screw it, i can roll to work.

Once you get it under control you'll be 90% normal - unless you got it really bad. My sister doesn't even take any pills anymore and she's had it since she was 2 - She's been drug free for over 10 years. I copped it about 4 years ago. I'm on 6 pills a day to keep it under control - if you can control it, you'll be fine. They'll probably start you on Prednisolone, a Corticosteroid to settle it down and some weaker drugs to keep it that way.

Subic Dock now that's a operation LOL, we had a V8 CAT generator for power well the ships were out of commission, no need for a exhaust, just let it fire straight out the top of the Turbo LMAO

Permit me to gloat a little?

There's nothing quite like being your own boss working from home, every day is a holiday.

Gloat over, thanks.

I've been on holidays for 4 months almost, and I'm not interested in going back, but I must to make my resignation legal.

Sadly everyone I know was busy, or unable to do much with me, so I didn't get a holiday really. I just sat at home bored out of my mind for the whole time I was off.

I got abused yesterday for 'wasting' my time off.
I'm aware of this, but as an only child, I already do pretty much everything on my own, so going on a holiday alone wasn't going to happen.
And Contiki tours were out because I don't drink and I want to see more of certain places than they offer, but again I am not interested in doing so by myself.

I think my last actual 'holiday' was back then I was 14, so over 10 years ago!
