Random Babblings

Hi people, prepare to read some random babblings about nothing really very interesting.

Things are going really well at work now, it's so good to have a job that feels secure and has a sense of direction once again. It's really been lacking in the last few months since the merger was announced and everyone was talking about jobs and redundancy and all that stuff. Doesn't make you want to leap up at 6:30am in the morning and troop into work, it makes you want to hit the snooze button 50 times and then drag yourself into work.

But that's all gone now, I'm happy to get up and go into work (esp with a tasty coffee machine making steaming hot coffee on freezing cold mornings)

Ok, so the kitten thing is pretty lame, but it sure as hell appeals to my sense of humour. Poor poor kittens.
I don't think I'll be printing it out on the colour printer and taking it to the SPCA though. I don't think the old ladies would find it very amusing.

I rode my bike to the supermarket tonight and I can't believe how puffed I was by the time I got there (it's only a 5 minute ride flat out)
I seriously need to join a gym, but there's none at all in Avondale and I'm too knackered at the end of the day to be bothered to even move, let along pump iron or run on a treadmill or whatever it is people do a gyms. I wouldn't know, I've never been to one. I guess I should bite the bullet and do it though. It's one of those many things I've always been meaning to do, along with save money, buy a house and own a multimillion dollar island. But I guess at least this one is slightly achievable.

The Boss is coming up tomorrow for a meeting with us about our postitions and where we're going to be based and all that interesting stuff that bosses like to talk about. He says we're going to go out later to discuss other things. Which if it's anything like last time means going down to the waterfront and discussing everything from who's shagging who right through to girls. Ok, so not a wide range of subjects, but certainly lots of fun. It's great to have a boss who is not only a good boss, but also a bunch of fun to hang out with too at the pub, something that you usually don't say of your boss. Although my boss/manager back at Telstra Aust was just as cool too. I'm warbling again.

We (TelstraClear) have these new ads on TV at the moment. I think they're the silliest thing I've seen in a while. Why can't we have a ad that talks about our products and why they're better than our rivals? No, instead we get these dickheads dancing/running around and some voiceover about how in this day and age faster is better. I guess I'm obviously not really up with the trendy way of doing advertising, but I reckon we're just making our company look stupid. But then I'm probably not really doing my bit to make us look serious with my purple hair, so I'm going to shutup once again.

I got all excited today on my way to work. Walking past the travel agent I looked at their current price to Rio (as I do with every travel agent these days [Am I allowed to say this Denny? Or it is too cutsy?]) and it was $1899 instead of the usual $2499!
I rushed inside and said "I'll take one, December 23rd -> Jan 23rd", only to be told "Sorry Sir, they're valid until July only"
Bastards.

I notice today that a bunch of people from TelstraClear have been reading my website. Hello if you're reading this, write me an email and tell me who you are, I'm curious!

Bugger, the laptop is saying it's about to run out of batterys so I guess that's it's way of saying "This is the biggest pile of turd I've ever had typed on me Tim, please stop now before I explode."

Please, remember the kittens.

Tim
