I have been working 15 days straight, sitting Sunday Afternoon on day 16 in my dreary office drafting argument in a case I HATE/DETEST, and just keep hearing weekender v8s being driven joyfully outside by their owners on a lovely Sunday arvo...…

Days like last Wednesday suck for me. It was a long one and not mentally difficult, but labour intensive. Im not looking for the overtime for reasons i wont get into, other blokes are stinging for the cash. I only get thrown the big jobs like that purely because i have the tools. Im works tool slut. Work banned borrowing personal tools and i agree, nothings worse then lending something and getting it back trashed, broken or just not at all. But still, a socket set (or 2 in my case) isnt just a mechanics tool. Im not a mechanic, but its not unreasonable for an electrician to have one and some ring spanners. But only 1 other bloke who has a socket set got roped into the job also. The kicker being his set only goes to a 19mm. When your set only goes to 19, youre guarenteed to need a 21. Yes i have all sizes up to 24mm and a 30 and 32.

Two days of migraine fluctuating between bad and worse, not impressed, especially when the squeeze is on to do lots of stuff.

It sucks because I can’t walk down the footpath anymore without tripping over a green E bike or equivalent that some environmentally progressive yahoo has left parked across the footpath or worse still out the front of my place. Saw one a few months back left right across the footpath outside the train station for everyone to walk around. I guess pedestrians don’t count.They’ve been not so obvious lately perhaps they are going under?

It sucks because 98 is $1.87/L at the moment - cost $135 to go to work and back 2.5 times
I found a receipt in my car from this time last year, I paid $1.28/L for 98 in 2017, bring back 2017! |

It sucks because you spend a million bucks on the GT to make it invincible and you get the best suspension for any condition handling , the best polishes and waxes and ceramic hoo ha products so the paint is sealed up tighter than a fishes @ss and nothing sticks to it , the best wet (and dry weather grip) tyres money can buy so you dont slip anywhere ..... but then its a wet day so you freak out cos you don't wanna drive in the wet ......

My main bathroom toilet has had what is called a phantom flush. For those who don't know what that is, basically the outlet leaks into the bowl over a period of time and it refills as if it were flushed.
So today I ripped it apart so I can't ignore that I have to fix it, as I have been really lazy about it. Already know what I need to get. But it sucks because I have been drinking a few beers and keep walking into the main bathroom as a habit so have to backtrack to the ensuite. First world problems
