Why when things are generally going so well for me do certain other things take it upon themselves to stuff themselves up and cause me grief. Flat batteries in my car for one. I half expected after two weeks that it may have lost it's charge, but after getting a jump and driving it around for an extended period of time I figured it'd be sweet. But ( Read more... )

I'm going to the Soloman Islands! I'm the first on the list of unranked personnel who are making up a section of soldiers from the company to head over. I'm so stoked, I'm invincible and I'm untouchable. All I want to do is go and celebrate tonight, but no-one is keen for a drink ( Read more... )

I've just gotten back from a two week army course. I'm now killing time until my future flatmate, who also happens to be my previous flatmate, Amy, rings me for beers ( Read more... )

The bloke whose job I'm taking over is leaving at the end of the week, and I don't know a great deal of what he does other than work the bottleshop, do the deliveries and occasionally be the manager on duty. Of those I can do the prior two. It's making me a little concerned that I've just taken on a casual job rather than the full time manager ( Read more... )

I have a new job, tying in with a hotel down the road to manage the bottleshop part. It's good, there's a lot of manual work and lifting to keep me satisfied, and when my work is done I can loiter around or read the paper ( Read more... )

I reckon I've spent more than 10 hours all up ironing my dress greens for ANZAC day. And the silly thing is that I'll starch and iron them some more. Tomorrow morning I'm presenting myself at the Hampton RSL to perform drill at their church service at their cenotaph. It's a cruisy job, slow march on, rest at arms, come to attention, present arms, ( Read more... )

I was planning to. I was... honestly. But then driving back home from geelong kinda sucked the motivation out of me. Now I have army this evening, hopefully I can smash myself there. My stamina is borderline useless at the moment. I really need to run more often ( Read more... )

My computer is working again. After having to format the entire badboy I've managed to get it up and running and the windows CD key which I had to buy has come my way ( Read more... )

And the first news off the press was all bad. Out of all the blokes that applied for the overseas trip, less than a quarter will be taken. Almost everyone missed out, this thing that they built up as being your oppurtunity to serve overseas with the army will see probably less than forty of us go. Quite a bit disappointed, and now I need to really ( Read more... )

I don't know. I spend a fair bit of my time on the computer these days, but most of it is spent playing games and relaxing ( Read more... )
