Done and dusted, I'm now officially unemployed.
Glad i chose to push through for another week rather than go on sick leave, the number of people who came up to me to say nice things was really gratifying.
Went in this morning, hand over with the boss, then went back home for lunch and back for a 3.30 sendoff team meeting. Really genuinely nice people. Handed back all the IT gear and home.
Changed, grabbed a drink, went to check the work emails out of reflex, then realised i just gave that back, I'm not employed anymore, and sat back to enjoy the sunshine.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Got an email this morning to sat I'd won tattslotto. A whole $14.
I win these small amounts reasonably frequently, never bother to collect it as it just goes to my bank account, or so I thought.
This morning, I went into my online banking and scrolled through looking for small deposits from Tatts, nothing.
So went online, logged into Tatts, and bingo. There's $280 sitting in my online Tatts account that I didn't know I had.
Bang, that's withdrawn straight to my actual bank account and set up 2 factor security on the Tatts account.
Dunno when they changed it, I've had a Tatts card forever and prizes used to go into my bank. I must have missed a meeting and it now operates like an online betting setup where they keep the prize money in my online account.

Finally got the fkn lawns mowed. Some parts of the yard are still under water, after 80mm of rain in a few days, spent 2 hours on the whippersnipped yesterday to take care of them and got onto the mower today.
Very happy the job is done. Also did a load of washing, my weekend work clothes have gone 3 months without a wash. Wear for 3 or 4 hours, throw in bottom of wardrobe, see you in 2 weeks.
They're spending the night on the clothesline to get a full disinfect.

Had an amazing week really, such great experiences at the cricket and a week away from work, even better
I was in such a good mood even had some fun in Melbourne's horrific traffic. Had some old fat %$^%$ on a bike yell at me because I only gave him 0.5m of space, not my fault that most of the space was taken up by his fat ass. Never understood why cyclists like to pick fight with car drivers, they'll never win, shows how stupid most cyclists are. They'll be $@&^#, their bike will be $@&^# the car driver not a scratch
Drenched another who was trying to avoid the puddle I drove through, great fun!!!
Even got some road rage on the way home today with someone idiot in a muscle tee on a freezing cold day taking his dog for a drive. He might have been in a hurry but I wasn't, always enjoy annoying impatient %$^%$ who can't overtake me. The look on his face when I finally got to my destination made my day!
Still got the final to come but back to the grind on Monday, so I might lose my good mood by 8:40 Monday morning

Do you drive around with Denis Leary playing full volume on a loop?

Cyclists...all of them are f*&king idiots who are the embodiment of the entitled generation. They adhere to the road rules when they want to but expect, in fact, demand every other road user not put a foot wrong.eddiesmith wrote:Had an amazing week really, such great experiences at the cricket and a week away from work, even better

My VW EOS is a little small for me. now, back breaker getting in and out, the dogs hate the back seat, (2door) and not much luggage space! So we decided I need a hybrid, not much out there, I wanted the new Toyota cross, it’s a dream to drive but we also tried a Kia (tinny junk!) and hubby liked the rav4, so back to Toyota we go, and he shows me why the RAV4 is a better buy, so we drive it and yep, he’s correct! Up to 2 years wait but I didn’t go for Max specs so hopefully not that long! Went for mineral blue GXL, but if a silver or white comes up earlier I may take it! I’ve never had a brand new car! The ranger was hubbies one and only, so my turn! Pretty excited, hope I get the big bow!
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
