This thread makes me want to get a new job and move somewhere. I think I'd have a lot of trouble finding someone to replace me here though.

I reckon we let the army know that a hot chick who likes men in uniform is attempting to move to the town. I expect a "training exercise" would be held where they "evacuate and relocate" a random household. Convoys of vehicles and air transport would be necessary.

Casi - I'll shout you a trip if you stay here and look after the kids :)

Ali, you cant be replaced, no one else will make the lamb shank pie.

You mean this one?

Was it nice?

It was pretty good. The flavour was great. The meat wasn't as tender though, but I did expect that because I didn't have time to really let it bubble away in the sauce for long enough before I put it into the pie.

So the meat should be pretty well done before the pie is assembled?

It needs to be cooked for ages at a slow simmer or in a slow cooker to break down so it falls off the bone.

How do you reckon they'd stand up to being guinea pigs for instruction on how to use Venn Diagrams :)

Maybe.

The big one will be fine, the little wranga will say something awful to you and pick his nose :)

Im playing Tetris with a whooooole heap of boxes and a truck....I just want it over.

Next time you post, let us know what state you're in (i.e. location) and how your Tetris scores are.

OK, Im kinda moved in....well, the furniture is in and I am unpacking.

Casi....Im in New South Wales...Wagga Wagga :)

I met some RAAF boys at the bottleo the other day and the owner of the Bottleo loves me already.

Gonna like it here me thinks!!

Havent seen the dude yet, he's away teaching rock climbing to the army boys in the Blue Mountains.

I knew someone from Wagga Wagga once. He was my mom's boyfriend for a while. he was bumming around Europe. A little after they split up, we happened to see him hitching in Wales. My sister and I were all "Wait, stop, that's Richard!" and so my dad says "who's Richard?".....

Monster, how did you answer that one?

Ducks, do you know Richard? (just kidding)

Cool, always good to have the people at the bottleo on your side. What do the kids think about their new home?

Impossibilities of all impossibilities: I've officially made friends with one of the grumpy guys who manages the place where I park my car when I drive to work. Couldn't believe it as he'd always be grumpy and tell you off for something. Anyway, I just kept saying hello and smiling and one day a few weeks ago he let me in on one of the secrets of the ticketing system (now that was worth waiting for). Thursday afternoon, the machine at the exit had a bit of a spac, so I jumped out of the car to go to the carpark office to find out what the story was. He smiled and laughed and told me he was having a crap day-it was heartwarming.

awkwardly. I think my dad pulled over so we could say hi but apologised that we couldn't offer a ride as the car was full. But I was a kid, there were probably many subtle undertones to the convo I missed. My parents were separated at the time.

First day of work tomorrow...Im looking forward to it.

The dude is being freaking weird at the moment....men!!

Good luck for the first day at work.

The dude is back from rock climbing in the Blue Mountains already??

Is this the dude who lives in/near the town you've just moved to?

Yeah, zen..that be him.

Casi - nah, he's being weird via text...but I have a habit of reading between lines that dont exist...being a chick and all :)

First day of work was great...bit boring at times because I dont have a desk or a computer at the moment.

Im pretty happy with the arrangement, this is a position they created for me and it has all the perks of the old job without any of the shit that I didnt like.

Did they include the himbo as part of the package? :)

So this dude who is being weird, has had some woman who he had a bit of chemistry with (and maybe some biology too) and who has now moved to his town.

[Bloke]Woah, mate, sounds like ya got yerself a bunny-boiler there![/at pub]


Or maybe you're just over-interpreting. More likely.

Ha, Zen, we've known each other for years and have a lot of history....we still just mates at this stage...we both have a lot of shit on our plates, and there's soooo many camo around here I get distracted really easy.

All good then... unless you really are crazy. :D

Well duh....hallooooooo semi attractive chick who hasnt had a real boyfriend forever... obviously theres more than a few issues there!!

yeah...it's the crazy. I'm sure of it. You'd have to be to move to Wagga wouldn't you?

Semi-attractive??????


SEMI?????

Yup that's crazy right there for a start. But hell, look at the thread title. Could be.

Im trying to figure out how to change the freaking light globes on my 18 foot high chandelier...I dont have a ladder, its next to the stairwell...So Im thinking of some creative leaning or something.

Get one of those light bulb changing poles? Or do the bulbs point up instead of down?

Careful Ducks, that base has ladies too... armed ladies.;)

A tree fell on my house last Sunday leaving a 24 tile hole in the roof. The tenant who has been "unable to open mail, answer the phone, return texts or pay the rent because of depression" has found somewhere else to go, without any encouragement from me, the agent or the Residential Tenancies Tribunal, in the space of a week. :D

Yeah, I met some the other day....theyre not really my type....considering they have vaginas...I always get hit on by lesbians....if they door swings the same way as mine...sure there are enough men to go around.

Works going well, Ive basically been given free rein to make what changes I want...since they are a new business and I have been running the equivalent business for the past 15 months.

My co workers are a bit older than the ones at my old work....well...greater range...previous work average of 27 (from 19 - 48) and this place is more mid 30's and no silly girlie shit so far.

My tennants are in this weekend, Casi, so hopefully when I get paid this week I will only be paying rent...not mortgage as well.

If they dont pay I will be down there in a jiffy to pull down their power lines and cut their water.

:D

Take the lady in the picture with you.

Do something to piss her off beforehand so that's she's not smiley and approachable.

She looks like she'd be a good drinking buddy.

As long as you don't mess with her men. :haha:

Theyre my men!

Uh Oh, trouble brewin'. :facepalm:

Not to worry, Ducks. Sounds like you're in a target-rich environment. *channelling Top Gun*

or her women.

So...this part is all going well.

I got a promotion in Feb, and have hired 5 more people...great team we have now. We are constantly in the top 3 of the national and I'm really proud of my team and myself for being a bitch when needed.

There's another BIG promotion on the horizon, which will mean leaving the current team and being their boss (along with 4 other places the same). It will also be a whole lot of travel on a daily basis - kids arent quite big enough for that and the boy is basically deployed for 3 months on, 1 month off for the next 12 months.

Looks like my Mum will be moving up here, which is soooo freaking awesome. I miss her heaps and I really miss my Dad - I cant do much about that one, but it makes me happy that Mum would like to be closer to me and the boys.

Congrats on the promotion Ducks! Do you have a himbo replacement?

The himbo came and visited me on the weekend, casi. It was soooo cool.

Him and the ranga (6yr old) have the same attention span and are intellectual equals (actually, the ranga is smarter - but himbo is prettier).

Himbo got all excited when the pancakes and coke spiders arrived, but his gf ordered him an open toastie, so he was all jealous....hahaha I miss that boy.

I'm employing again now, so hopefully I will get a himbo replacement out of his lot.

I have mainly been employing mid 20's guys (dont judge me!!)...24 is my cut off because my gen y tolerance turns off then.

Age-ist!

Fuckin oath Spexxie!! I cant deal with the youngens...my "oh em gee" drama tolerance is fairly low these days.

Without compromising his identity, what kind of thing did the himbo do-at work that is that he was paid for (apart from flex Des and Troy?)

He's a Business Account Manager...so sales

Coke Spider = Ice Cream Soda

Aussie to Yank translation :p

Wouldn't the Aussie - Yank translation be "coke float?"
