The new addition

Yes, we have a new spotted addition to the family.  He still does not have a name yet (considering we only got him last night, that is not surprising, is it??)  He is wandering around the house this morning, feeling lonely, missing his brothers and sisters ........ and of course my two MONSTERS are hiding away from him, not quite sure WHAT to do ....

He is a BIG BOY ..... full of puppy smell, and puppy inquisitiveness.

Pictures soon.

I am the Kitchen Nazi!!!

Ahhhhhhhh, the JOYS (NOT) of working in a large organisation ....

We have been moved down to a floor where you had to have "special" acess in order to get onto it. We had a LARGE kitchen complete with Dishwasher and Microwave, and a SMALL kitchen, with NO Dishwasher and NO Microwave.
The small amount of people we had soon realised that I was the Kitchen Nazi, and kept the place reasonably clean.  I did have to throw a hissy fit everynow and again, but generally, it was not TOO bad.

Recently, the powers that be decided we were having too much fun down here and moved more people onto the floor - and they have "special" access too.

HOWEVER - they are PIGS!!!!!  Good grief, if you were in a 3rd world country you would not see the amount of mess they make in the SMALL kitchen!!!  Oh YES, you see, it is obviously too hard to put dirty shite into the Dishwasher in the LARGE kitchen, because that would mean they have to WALK down the corridor - so they leave everything in the sink in the SMALL kitchen, so you eventually cannot even get water from the tap because the dirty dishes are packed up so high!!!

Yesterday, I finally cracked it, and took everything down to the LARGE kitchen, and had the Building Manager remove all tea, coffee, sugar, cups, plates, cutlery from the SMALL kitchen.

From now on, if you put ONE SINGLE thing in that sink, I am throwing it in the bin.  SCREW all you messy sods!!!!!!

Traffic NIGHTMARE!!!

So, today is Calvyn's birthday - the big 14!!!

Every year, I take the day off, and Calvyn and I go shopping for his birthday.  It is usually - drive to shopping centre, go to game shop, buy game, have coffee (me) and milkshake (Calvyn), head back home.

This year, Shelby came too because I do the same thing with her for her birthday, but didn't get the time before Christmas.  So off we all went shopping.  I really love it.  Gives me time to chat to them, find out their plans, and their lives.  I hope they enjoy it too.

Anyway, drop theM at home around Noon, and head home.  I live about 50 minutes from them, and hit the freeway, listening to music, generally feeling GOOD about life.

THEN .................drive drive drive,........... screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech, STOP!
45 mins later - still STOPPPED.

Radio says AVOID FREEWAY -too f'n late, as they have closed the freeway behind me,
and I have no where to go!
THEN - closed freeway in front of me, and force 5 million cars off the freeway onto a single lane offramp!!!

WHY?????  - F'g truck driver drove into concrete barrier and his diesel tank exploded

Moron cops close WHOLE freeway!!!!!!

So I drive through Richmond, taking back roads, and figuring out how the hell I can get home.  When all of a sudden some moron from
Yarra Trams (who thought I was hooning through HIS f'g tram junction) jumps out and starts threatening me ..... I was all apologetic, I had idiots behind me hooting, and yelling, and I was trying to apologise to little old idiot of a man ......... and then, he swore at me!!!!! I was all apologetic, and still he swore.  He was physically threatening (stuck his head in my driver side window, yelling abuse at me!!!)This was the ONE day I wished I was NOT a Ninja, cos I would have bashed him, DICKHEAD!!!

ANYWHO - eventually got onto the other freeway, and went around the city, which took me over an hour, and got home 4 HOURS LATER!!!!!

Yes, you can all be amazed that I did NOT beat the living crap out of him ............. I still am!!!  I did, however, complain to Yarra Trams, and I hope they FIRE his OLD ASS!!!!!

Lift Etiquette!

What type of lift traveller are you?

• do you rush for a lift, and press the door close button because you are a selfish bastard?
• do you rush for a lift, and only travel up ONE DAMN FLOOR?????
• do you patiently wait for a lift, only to be pushed out of the way by some MORON who thinks that they have to get in the lift before you (and then also insist on being the first out of the lift?)

From now on, the rules are:

• If you shut the door in my face, I will KILL you
• If you only travel up ONE DAMN FLOOR, I will KILL you
• If you push me out of the way, I will force the doors open and throw you down the lift well.

OK, Clear?????

Puppies, Puppies everywhere ..

I have just returned from Canberra, where I had to opportunity to play with 16 puppies.  Dalmatian puppies of course ..... 
This was my idea of BLISS, such gorgeous pups, and lovely Mum's.

Thanks Neil and Jane :-)

Now, which one is mine???

Holiday Traffic

It has been BLISS these past few days driving into the office.
I can leave home at 7am and be here by 7:30am - fantastic.

So could all those people who are on leave, please NOT return to work?  That would be great.

Thanks!

I am sick of this "death" thing ....

On a morbid note ........... my Dad's youngest sister passed away this morning. 

OK GOD, time for you and I to have a chat ......... that is 6 people in not even TWO years ......... can't you pick on someone else now????  Yes, you gave my cousin two beautiful baby girls, but HELL did that mean you could YANK another one from us? Hey????

Rant over ......... thanks for listening.

Who needs to work anyway??

5th of January and I DO NOT want to go back to work.

Hubbie dearest was off last week, and of course that meant I could not undertake the "cleaning frenzy" I normally do over Christmas and New Year.  So I don't want to go back to work until the 12th now.  Mind you, how DUMB is that - I don't want to undertake PAID work so I can do UNPAID CLEANING WORK at home ...... hmmm?

Of course, I will lie in the sun first ..... :-)

Bring on the SUN!!!

It is a truly magnificent day today - 25deg, sunny, light wind to take the heat edge off ......... beautiful.

I, of course, am lying in the sun.  YES, I know about skin cancer, YES I know all the perils of how my skin will age ..... but just face it, FAT looks better brown!!!

Resolutions anyone???

It is 2009, and I am being asked if I have any New Years Resolutions ........ YES, I do.
BUT I am not sharing them all with everyone as if I FAIL, then YOU can't hold it against me

YOU - "I thought you said you were going to go skiing in winter" "I thought you were going to learn to paint"
ME - Yes, I know that is what I said, but I didn't do it, so stop pointing that out to me ... OK??? *smack*

Ahhhhhhhh New Year, and I must admit I seem much calmer than usual :-)

Happy 2009!

Started the New Year at John's brothers place about 50 minutes from us. I was the driver ....... which was OK for me. Had a few, and cruised home with no Booze busses to be seen - Yee Hah!!!
(wouldn't have mattered tho, as I didn't drink that much)

ANYWAY, got home, and John HAD to put the TV on ....... and You Can't Stop the Music was on. Anyone rememember THAT movie. OMG, I broke out the Champagne, and sang and danced the whole movie (yes, yes - sad and tragic, I know). So started 2008 as a Village People tragic ...

Hope you all had a safe and festive New Year (or, if you are in South Africa or Canada, or generally anywhere that HAS NOT had their New Year yet) - Happy New Year!!!!!!

Later ...
