time's a tickin'

yay i got my replacement roaming sim card today...

boo it's still not working properly, though it's doing better than the first one...

yay the irish help desk dude has referred me to level 2 support to escalate my problem

boo they said they would call soon after as they had just started their shift for the day...

so whilst i'm waiting i may as well tap out my daily rant...

holy cow! work was flat out today... was out in the timber yard for most of the day which meant i had lots of fun playing with timber on the saw, driving forklift around moving things here and there and brings things down and back up again for customers etc

i can understand that the weekend will be busy, but given saturday's top temperature in ballarat is only expected to be 14° (woo hoo!!!!) - i think it might keep people from making the mass pilgrimage for retail therapy after a day of everything closed for good friday...

so the big wig wankers turned up today... another last minute caffuffle about things from management before these fat dudes wandered the store picking on little bits of bullshit - as expected!!! complete useless waste of time - also as expected!!!

so 2 more work days before annual leave begins... and whilst i thought i might not see some of the guys after today, i said i'd make another visit on tuesday after i get my teeth moulds taken for the splint, as i will have to drive into town since trains will be on trackworks for the week for RRL works.....

will shave the head tonight and trim up the beard in prep for the trip (once the irish dude rings back to sort the sim card), then tidy the house up a bit for tomorrow's little lunch gathering....

no dead mice in the garage today thankfully... hopefully it was just the one mouse making all the racket in the roof and walls...

picked a bunch of tomatoes to make salad tomorrow as part of lunch - damn birds have been eating at the almost ripe bigger tomatoes (buggers) - but i'm more worried about the heap of strawberries that are growing.... although they will most likely ripen after i head overseas anyway so no great loss.....

tick tock goes the clock and i will continue to await my phone call......
