Dazed and confused

Well Im still kinda getting over the weekend.. not so much a hangover, but just dam tired and a little seedy.
As I dont have too much to offer today, I tried to add a funny pic, but try as I might I couldnt get the bloody thing to upload. Oh well Ill try again tomorrow...
Good night!

Throw the clown around a bit

Simple things for simple minds maybe... but the following site gave me joy for hours!

Might update again later if Im not too drunk.

Simple Simon

We got Simon shit faced... on two pints. We all went out for a few at Shenanigans and we all had about 5 pints there. Simon was worried he wouldnt get home in time for his missus... and as an excuse told her he was showering at work??? Anyway I bought him is first pint of Guiness which he basically sculled... he had finished well before us all. Then he had another.. and half way through that the fun started. To start with he is a wierd bugger anyway... let alone with two pints in him. He was slurring.. and falling all over the place... the poor bugger had to drive home and explain himself to his missus.... we made him have a few glasses of water and some food before driving... not that it would have helped much.
Anyway me and Cullbo had a nice romantic dinner together! ;) He wanted candles but I drew the line at sharing a bottle of wine! :) The food was fantastic! Anyway cracka night.. and Im still drunk now.
Talk to ya all soon! :) ta ta for now.

Flex off

What a top afternoon… I did absolutely stuff all except play Xbox… ahh gotta love flexi time!

I see dumb people

“I see dumb people… they’re everywhere.

They walk around like everyone else.

They don’t even know they are dumb!”

Steveo today had to deal with one such dumb person.. well two actually but we wont mention the second one! ;) You know who I mean… anyway this tool thought the world revolved around him and that all the rules and procedures should be bent to give him what he wanted, not next week, or tomorrow but immediately! The thing is this fucker will probably get what he wanted anyway, and this will set the precedent in his mind that we will do this for him next time. Oh well I see dumb people too!

Bloody parking fine!

Probably the lowest job in the world would have to be a parking inspector. I was just trying to think of a practical, worthwhile thing a parking inspector contributes to society, and I could think of nothing. I can think of no reason for their existence other to provide an easy stream of revenue for the council. I wonder if when they lie in bed at night they realize that they have no purpose in life, nothing of value to contribute and no reason to get out of bed each day. Obviously not because they will be there again tomorrow, and if I am not as cunning as they I will end up with another parking fine! Damn you… damn you to hell!

Crows miss the finals!

Well the Crows have lost! Boo fucking hoo. Hopefully that will end the constant influx of crappy anti Power emails and comments coming in.
Fair enough the Power played crap last week and I’m the first one to say we deserved to lose the way we played, but the Crows supporters absolutely loved dishing out the jokes as soon as they got the chance... I just wonder if now the Crow have lost whether there will be all the jokes aimed at them!
Either way Im glad the Crows lost, because I couldn’t bear them getting into the finals and possibly winning, as us Power folk would have to put up with the Crows shit all summer. Not to worry, because next footy season we will no doubt KICK YOUR ASSES!!!
Haha… well until next time… see ya…
Were the shame of South Australia, were the shitty Adelaide Crows….. lol!

Ménage à trois

Today the three greatest minds the company had to offer came together to resolve a potentially catastrophic situation. Well maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but between Cullbo, Low Rider and myself I think we may have got ourselves out of a bit of shit.
We must also not forget the brilliant input of that IT genius Finchey, that guy is an absolute genius. If he could not have got it working no one could have. Cheers Finchey!!!
Hopefully Cullbo doesn’t get a call from AA tomorrow, not that much can be done from home, but that’s taking one for the team Cullbo, nice work!
Other than that, pretty average day, got a box of chockies from the crazy Lisa which worked out well cos I gave them to the missus when I got home so Im in the good books all round.
Birthday greetz going out to F’knee and the symbol formally known as P-Dids.
Thank fuck its Friday that’s all I can say!

Little Britain

Little Britain has got to be one of the funniest TV show ever. Between Andy the wheel chair guy who says “Yeah I know” to the psycho Anne with her “Ahh ahh ahhhhhhh” sounds the whole thing is a cracka. I haven’t seen the second series yet, but Im getting it from my sis on Sunday, so that’s what Ill be doing Sunday night.

Bum Fights

Waiting for the train to go home today some feral asked me if I knew where a certain suburb was. I had never heard of it and so his mate asked me if I knew where Emerson was. That was it the original guy went psycho and started screaming at the dude who had asked about Emerson. It was original style Bum Fights.
The two of them were yelling and screaming at each other, and the original (obviously the stronger of the two) had the guy by the shoulders shaking him. Saying “What the fuck is your problem asking where Emerson is you fucking idiot… I know where fucking Emerson is!!! Ill fucking smash your face in if you ask shit like that again you fuck head.”
Another guy on the platform came over to me and asked what he should do (he was a little slow…. And I don’t just mean the fact he was wearing a Crows t-shirt)… he was pointing at the guys almost yelling “Shall I call the cops?” I said if he did to do it discretely otherwise he may draw their attention too.
So anyway the guy next to me went over and called the Transit Cops while I kept my eye on this feral fight and stood between them and this woman who was obviously shitting her pants over the whole situation.
The Crows fella came back and said he had told them and they would come check it out. Our train pulled in we got aboard, luckily the feral fighters stayed on the platform… either waiting for the next train or just wanted to fight it out outdoors…
When we got to the station I went over to the nice TransAdelaide folk to advise them there would probably be some nut cases on their next train from that platform. This dick head started with the attitude… what can we do… there was no offence committed... I replied what did he want? Wait until the got on the train and started hassling the commuters or the driver, and that I found his attitude very helpful. I told him I could understand how he got his job, which he didn’t like too much. I don’t understand why some people don’t fall over more. Another guard, obviously a little more concerned went and reported it to the Fat Controller, who radioed it in to the driver of the train next due to get the that station and some TransAdelaide Swat Team. In fact another one of my brother in laws actually works for that group... next time I see him Ill see if I can get us all an update.
Anyway that was my good deed for the day, and I made a new friend in the challenged Crows supporter, as I walked over to get on my train the guy called out at the top of his lungs... “I hope to see you tomorrow pal!”…. we shall see!

The tale of the missing terminal

The morning was going along quite well…. Not too busy... not too quite… but just right thought Goldilocks…. Hang on a minute, step back to reality, oops there goes gravity. Ok enough B Rabbit.
Yeah so it was going along just fine with me mate Cullbo there we was having a right time till I gets collared over a missing terminal. Seems I didn’t put in a bloody relocation form on my last day in desktop and poor KP has been looking for this piece of crap for the last two days. I remember swapping the thing out but I obviously didn’t put it back in stores and some geezer has nicked it. Why I don’t know they are worthless, but it’s gone and I’m thinking I was going to be squeezed for $440 for the thing. I wouldn’t mind getting nicked for a laptop or something; I mean I would flog one of them if I could! ;) But a terminal aint no good to no one. It won’t matter… DJ Barra will get hassled for it and he will just get it written off, there are about 893 of the stupid things left in store so it’s no biggie!
Finally got the bloody security machines working (Cheers Cullbo!) fuck me they are fussy pains in the arse.
Got a bit of surf and turf in me for tea it was the sister-out-laws bday today so we went for a bite, poor girl’s fella has done a runner and she’s seven months with bun in oven. They will probably sort it all out by next week so I’m staying out of it, it’s a typical on again off again thing… all cos a bit of tobacco that slightly green. ;) Ahh the joys of married life.
Not to rub it in but mines running an absolute treat at the moment…. Yes dear I’m coming in a sec! Oh well better head off, ta ta for now.

A new day dawns...

Today was the first Monday since I started my new position at work that I actually felt relaxed going in to work. Normally I would be panicing about all the things I should have done on Friday and that are going to mount up all day. I guess I was relaxed because I knew Cullbo would be there working with me. I was actually a member of a team again. Before if somthing urgent popped up I would do it, and then have the stuff I was working on back up and by Tuesday arvo I would be flat out trying to deal with all sorts of idiots that need stuff done yesterday etc etc. There was no one I could get to do some of the work besides Steve, but he had his own shit to do like answer the phones etc.
Well today worked out pretty good I guess. Cullbo managed to pick up some of the urgent calls which let me deal with the stuff that had been getting pushed back all the time. I closed all my calls except the ones with service providers, which are out of my control anyway. I was still busy, but by the end of the day I had got pretty much everything I had to do out of the way. I had to stick around till 5:30 cos Caroline had lost her voice, thank God, and so there was no one to take the last hour of calls. Turned out the phone only rang once and I sorted that out pretty quick anyway.
I was stoked to get home and see the fam... specially my honeybunch...
I reckon Ill sleep well tonight not having to worry about what shit I have to do tomorrow... looks like the tides have turned.... sweeet!

Franks and Beans

Hi all, and welcome to my blog!
I plan to use Franks and Beans to share my inermost thought and feelings... well maybe not, but we shall see how we go.
My interest in blogging was piqued by a friend of my r.domain who has a top blog and podcast at http://murdergrin.blogspot.com
With me supposedly being a IT geek I thought it about time I plonked myself down somewhere on the net and had a crack at this blogging craze!
Well here I am and here I will remain for as long as my A.D.D allows! :)
