It doesn't feel like Christmas. It has other years, but not this one. Bushfires, wars, politics have all been there years before, but I'm not sure what's going on with this one. I guess it's just because I'm not going out as much anymore. I've gotten presents for my family, one round of 2nd hand presents (my bike for my brother, and my MP3 player ( Read more... )

I should really just stay in bed some days. Five wrong turns in the one trip. And one of them was in St Kilda!! Geez...

The trip to the homebrew store was well worth it though. Enough ingredients to brew another keg of beer. Hooray!

The only thing worse than having a rough night in hospitality is not that you have to spend the rest of the evening sercing the customers you want to acoid. It's the fact that you had a legit gripe about your shifts at work and now you can't complain because the level of work you just put in was so poor that you haven't got a leg to stand on. The ( Read more... )

Well, lots of things annoy me. I'm a pretty grumpy and cranky bloke, in fact when I scan my wristband at work, instead of my name coming up on the screen, it comes up as "Grumpy". Much to the amusement of the girls at work. Anyway, kids at gym. Specifically, kids at MY gym, annoy the hell out of me. They jump on my equipment between sets, they run ( Read more... )

I got my hard training session the other night at army. We sat through a presentation from an AFP member on Timor-Leste and Soloman Islands. It was kinda interesting, but we were all drained after the hour long session. We then went outside for some PT and got crunched. Sprints, boxing, bridges, situps, boxing. All repeated ad nauseum, because the ( Read more... )

Well, I've been neglecting posting here, mainly because of my recent computer work makes me want to go outside straight after my shift finishes. But because I've kept busy with work and gym to bother putting the remnants of my time up here. But in hindsight, everything that is notable enough to put it up here, I've managed to do in the last few ( Read more... )

My best mates dad has asked me to come and work for him. He runs a retail design business in Port Melbourne. He's just changed programs and he's found it easier to train his son up and to put him to work rather than to get the older guys to adapt. So he wants another young bloke to work for him. It'll be good for him because he'll get money from ( Read more... )

My shoulders are really quite sore. I've got a new circuit for the gym, I asked one of the guys there who I've seen going really hard to make up a circuit for me. I've got a day one, day two and day three circuit with an optional set of exercises for my core whenever I'm motivated. Day one is all upper body, bi's, tri's, lat's and some other one ( Read more... )

I spend a lot of time at work or with mates. A lot. Like 90% of my time. I'm working so hard I can not bother to bank my pay cheques for a week after receiving them. It's strange, I'm kinda like I wanted to be when I was 17 or so and wishing to have enough money to never worry about bills. Which, technically I do. Bills don't concern me. They aren' ( Read more... )

I have another job. There's a "staff wanted" message on the front windows of the cafe in Sandringham, that I seem to be visiting every four days. I've worked there previously and after a quick chat with the manageress she wants me to start next week behind the coffee machine, without a trial. Her previous coffee lad has dislocated his shoulder, so ( Read more... )
