I had the perfect opportunity, upon hearing the distinct sound of a GM Streamliner, to run over the road and take some pictures as it chuffed by.
Even better as it came into view, the train was a double header with 2 1950's Streamliners pulling it. Excitedly, I managed to get three pictures only to discover the camera's memory ran out of space on 2 and the first picture had the first diesel behind a large tree !! dumar*e. I think the next town heard my disappointment. ![]()

Waited an hour for a simple blood test that took all of two minutes to complete.

Yeah, it was a last-minute thing and I had to fast as well, so it was a double whammy. I also picked the wrong collection place as well.

Back when i was 17 in year 12 at school, every saturday i watched every episode of ready steady cook on a 12 inch tv with a metal cage around. Did that for 12 months. My brother was on a suspended sentence for driving offences. I was his youber to do the weekly check in, before youber was a thing. Didnt get paid either.

A car I permanently loan out is back with shifting issues, stemming from a hydraulic shift fluid leak. It’s not only eaten two days of the last ten in diagnosis and partial repair, but taken a solid bite from the car hobby expenditure I allow myself. If I couldn’t DIY reasonably, think I’d be spitting the dummy.

Last day of leave. I can't say I feel much relaxed and dumb of me to take the week off during school holidays.
Every day some sort of noise waking me up anyway. From road work diversions to kids being kids to everyone doing some form of work around the house ![]() |

1 week is not good for the body, it takes 1 week to start winding down, then your 2nd week is the rest time and the ankle biters are back at school.

Yeah for most of the time I take a big break at Xmas which has much the same problems but even that has been getting shorter due to work so trying to take extra days here and there and a week now before it got too cold.
At some point I just need to tell them to stick it up their **** and take two weeks when I want to do so. |

I have 390 hours of leave and 110 hours of sick leave owing to me, plus two lots of long service. I have been planning to take long service when my new car arrives, one of the reasons why I'm so agitated about the constant stream of delays with the new Mustang...................I'm gagging for some extended time off. A new car is my holy grail, so I want to take the time to enjoy the delivery, dialing the paint in and getting it all protected, then take some road trips to see family in Merimbula and Coffs Harbor. I just want to do all this without a time frame attached to it................enjoy life for a change.

In fact business should be encouraging you to take your entitlements rather than accrue big balances as it is a liability on their books.
So if they block leave for seemingly no good reason I'd be worried. |

On a few occasions at my old mob i got given the choice of leave or payout of x% of my leave. My boss was pretty straight up and down with me. It was along the lines of 'if' i quit the company didnt have enough to pay me out. When i did quit they had enough to pay me out so that wasnt bad.

And after 41 years in business, I highly doubt they have ever had to pay long service leave to an employee.

All good in theory not so much in reality. If you have SME knowledge they make it difficult everywhere you go.
