Went back to work today. The only thing getting me through is the fact I get another week and a half off early February to go to the Gold Coast

I went back to work yesterday and got the sack for speeding in my own car on my own time on the last day of work last year, Apparently its bad for business and I'm irresponsible. I think i got the sack because i didn't get on with the boss's wife.

Geeze, hopefully it makes the holiday at the end all that more enjoyable for you. I work on and off over the Christmas holiday, more so when the work comes in I can then do it. Not that motivated to start work tomorrow you know...being in Adelaide and 43c and all...like I needed an excuse not to work!
