Yay, it's McHappy Day! Do you guys have that overseas? I'm going to go to Cranbourne Maccas at lunch to do my bit ( would be there with the brig if I wasn't working today, but will do my bit by donating). Looks like a nice quiet day here at work so far.
Report of two dingoes escaped from Wildlife park seen in the inner city suburbs. Hmmm. For those of you who don't know, no, dingoes are not like dogs. Is kind of like our version of wolves. Yes you can tame them, but no, it's def NOT recommended and you need to take precautions. Hope they catch them before they get hurt. 

EDIT: Nice quiet day my big fat shiney white ass!!! Water has been fine, Sewer I could kill! My StandBy guy, the dude who is meant to handle all the HCB (dont ask) which is what we normally get, can't do them ALL WEEKEND because his machine broke down on a job. Wonderful! So ofcourse we got a lot of HCB's. Crud. I've been sweet talking Trevor Jones who has been a magnificent help, and also my StandBy Retic guys have been kind enough to take on a few. Now I'm pulling guys out of hats. Hopefully no more HCB's for the rest of the day.
Dearly wish I could go home tonight and just flop into bed and not move, but it's not just mum and I that I am driving in, it's also Diana's mum and two of her friends. They are catching taxi's home so at least I don't need to worry about staying later for them.  Honestly just wish I could just go home, shower, drop into bed and read.
Finished Troy Game. Wept like an emo for the whole last chapter. Very much recommended if you like epic awesome fantasy mixed with the real world.
Now reading one of Al's books I've been eyeing off for a while 'Merle's Door; Lessons from a free thinking dog.' So far very much good, altho the authors somewhat inflated opinion of himself just because he has the leisure to disappear for weeks on end to go 'tramping' (WTF??? It's called hiking, numbnuts) and be 'one with the natural world' while the rest of us pay mortgages and hold down full time jobs etc can grind one's nerves ever so slightly. I'd be doing that too... if i wanted to shirk ALL my responsibilities. 
Got Al's Xmas gifts last night. Was i huge pain from the new shoes. Have decided Sockfull of Blood would be a great heavy metal rockband name, but is not so much fun in real life. I need Explorers.
