I'll start, I had a bloody good day today, Finally picked up a nice job that will take up most of next month. We have had loads of small stuff for the last couple of months that is so much more work for me to do with not as much turnover at the end of the month.

Happy days!

Stated off pretty ordinary, seems a client is trying to shaft me to promote themselves, thats ok cos I know whats going on so I can keep one step ahead. :-) Ended up pretty good though as picked up two good jobs too. Got the missus sorting tax stuff out now which probably isn't good!

I have had 2 good last days. Averaged 4.5 hours both days.

Have pretty good runs, but I cracked the shits a few times.

Speed limit is 100km/h, why the beep do people do 80km/h in 100km/h zones.

I am thinking now that elderly drivers should be tested, I had a old bloke in a Excel pull out in front of me. He excerated so slowly, I had to jump on the brakes to avoid rear ending the Excel.

I followed him for 10km's and he ventured onto the wrong side of the road about 10 times.

Other then that, days were awesome.

Dave.

yeah i agree with you dave, old people give me the shits. i reckon the should be tested yearly once they pass about 60. as far as work goes its fairly slow in the air con industry, will pick up again thou when it starts to warm up.

ROFL at "Old people give me the shits"

First laugh I've had for a while.. thanks
I have to kinda agree. I have more old people make me curse than "some others' It's worse when I ride the bike. maybe it's an ageing eyesight problem but so many people just don't look for motorbikes. very rarely ride to work now (Adelaide airport) too dangerous. Old people and taxi drivers...
had an interesting week so far at work. Gale force winds blew a set of stairs across the tarmac into one of our aircraft. not good.
Pissed off coz my dog's real sick and not long for this earth. had an op and fine for now but.
