For the past two nights I have dreamed of being somewhere in the UK, at what looks like the ruins of a Roman baths which are still functional. After a swim I walk across a street where a yard sale is being held. I spot a very t hick leather bound book. I open it and it's full of photos of London but from days even before London was a hamlet. The photos are really small but when I tap them they get bigger. Its all in full colour and high quality. Thousands of photos from a time when photography was impossible. Every stage of London's growth. Every important event. I run to the lady and ask her how much, she says oh that old useless thing, you can just have it. No one seems to realise how much of an incredible treasure it is. Its insane. I've been waking up very confused! :-)

Caroline has started job hunting. Luke possibly resigned this morning.
Victoria has gone to call taking only. Lauren has gone to QLD call taking. Ena has gone into breeder mode.
I'm still not allowed to touch dispatch.
This is ridiculous.

got an interesting call today. Angry male, sounded aged 50's. Furious. We've towed his car from a clear way. DEMANDS I call the truck and get his car back to him. DEMANDS. How about....no. I attempt to help him with location etc. He goes utterly SPACKO at me. Four letter words and everything. I remain ice maiden. I let him know if he keeps speaking to me like that I will terminate the call. He keeps going.  I Hung up. Everyone in the room goes all Omg are you ok. I smile and say, guys, 5 years of 000. This git was an amateur :D Everyone in awe. My legend grows.

hey guys, sorry been so quiet on lj, I get home late and not normally in the mood to stare at the laptop. things going well at Nationwide. I got seriously stressed doing the drive tho. Where I work is,a suburb called Blackburn, to get there I have to take the Great Monash Freeway Carpark :p its meant to be a freeway but its always deadly full. then I have to get off at Springvale rd which is INSANE. Can't catch the train even tho there is a station 5mins walk away as my local line doesn't connect! I was finding I was using the toll rd just to avoid having to spend an hour and 15 in traffic. so I looked at bus scheduling. there is a train-bus link up from my local station to Dandenong and then to Blackburn! so that's what I do now. I get to sit and read and relax, its only 30mins longer and far, far cheaper! can't beat that! won't be make to use it when I start normal shifts dye to my hours, but for the next few weeks its a god send. will be out of peak come norm shifts anyway. I'm currently reading book 2 of Game of Swords by George r r Martin, I find it hilarious how many ppl have jumped on the bandwagon because of the series....I've been reading his books since they were published :p wonder how many of the watchers actually READ the real thing. also started Rachael Treasure "Jillaroo" for some significantly lighter easier reading. enjoying it so far despite the painful stereotyping of Australia and its country community. it has horses and working dogs...it will do :) right, getting hard to type on moving bus so I'll catch you guys later. looking forward massively to 4 day weekend starting tomorrow! viva la Easter Egg season!

i have been given the full round at post as of today. they told me yesterday. this presents a problem, although its also really good that I have been given it so early; I can't make the 3pm start at the kennel/cattery now :( I told them yesterday that I had to give up the arvo. I still have weekends but I don't know how long that will last. I think I made the right decision tho. don't want to ride fast and under pressure - will end up having an accident. don't want to run late to every arvo shift, not fair to the others and they'd prob let me go. also,I have been exhausted doing the two, this shld allow me a little down time. Bugger tho :(

when I was a kid hiding in the library to avoid the bullies, I once found a book with a picture of a girl in a sea cave with these little dragons sitting on her arm and flying around. I read the blurd and shortly thereafter was immersed in the world of Pern. I soon had all the books and dreamed of gold and green dragons. Today the author of that series which so sparked my imagination died of a stroke. Goodbye, Anne. And thank you.
