I know that I'm quoting myself but I found out today that tomorrow, being my employers last day of work for the year, that after all of the gear has been packed away and job sites secured and everybody's itching to go home, my employer thinks would be a great time to call the blokes in from off of the sites (which includes me and it's 1/2 hour in the opposite direction from home back to the workshop), to stay back for an EBA meeting.

My previous employers did that to us, four years in a row. Each time they said the Company was bleeding to death and we would have to take a wage freeze and redundancies or they would have to shut the doors.
Be careful. We are all soft targets at Christmas.

True that. I get to cover three extra areas on the delivery run so that the casuals can be let go. Meanwhile the staff bbq has been replaced with a privately funded lunch.

Heather went to the post office and on the way there was an Altercation between an irate car driver and a truckie, the car driver was out of his car abusing the truckie then proceeded to rip the trucks mirror off.

No need for this sort of behavior!

In the post office another customer abusing the owner of the post office and the post office wanted to charge for a stamp for an envelope going to a post box at the same post office. The P.O Owner told the customer it's not a free service, it needs a stamp doesn't matter how far it's got to travel.
You don't need customers like that.

Not many cops on the road either policing the idiots on the road either, grannies doing 50-60 in 80 zones, young hoons.

Season Greetings to one and all.

I know what you mean. I was driving along in a 110km/h zone a couple of days ago. Came up behind someone doing 80km/h. How inconsiderate. I indicated, changed lanes and drove past. A procedure, I am reliably informed, is sometimes referred to as overtaking.
As I passed, I glanced left. The driver was indeed a granny, leaning forward, gripping the steering wheel, concentrating hard, driving on her limits.
I cursed that granny. I'll never get those flashes back on that flasher can.
I'm sure she was cursing me. "Commodore driver! Hoon!"

Cant beat old grannies bless em , spose we will all end up like this one day if we make it that is . The way some dickheads drive they will not have to worry about getting old .


Merry Exmas to all and stay safe .

Someone has to go over and give Mario a big hug. There must be something in the air in the lower latitudes, because there is plenty of kindness and good will up here.
Anyway Merry Christmas everybody and a happy New Year.
Cheers Billy.
