What made you feel good today?

[solarite_guy]

Thanks Mate.

From what I understand he needs to build a new building for the dyno facility. So, if things pan out, I would pursue contract work between now and then. If there is anything I can do at the shop between now and then in the evening and or weekends, I would make myself available.

[Lunch]

Continuing the work theme, 12:00pm Friday, on my way home

[Lunch]

Finishing early has a flow on effect, Its enabled me to swing through the brushless car wash so the utes look’n schmick, was able to hit Bunnings to pick up a few things for this weekends projects and grabbed a sausage in bread while I was there, the best $2.50 you’ll ever spend, then a $1 frozen coke from HJ’s and the icing on the cake, tonight’s pizza night and you know what they say, pizza is like sex, even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good..
and it was all done by 1:00pm

Thats the whole reason i stay away from project work. Yeah if you come under you get treated like a king, but if it runs over because the person who made the quote and sealed the deal did not see the access issues or account for things that are not in your control and it runs over, it always falls back on the person running the job not the person who didnt quote accordingly. Do and charge is mad. If a job screws me around then theres no loss in that. Dealing directly with clients means thanks comes to me not through an email to the office. I changed an intercom today which isnt difficult at all, and my client was extatic that it worked. That reaction was what made my day, but to be honest, if a new intercom didnt work, i didnt do my job properly.

I just don't work on anyone's car except my own. Keeps problems to the minimum.

They got Camrys on the fleet at work for all reps about 3 years back.
The reps have nicknamed them 50 shades of beige.

[MITCHAY]

Yeah for context all it was is a 2003 to 2012 server migration which is already obsolete. A whole lot of bull**** in other words but it is finally happening

I saw a black v8 ute with a chrome sports bar on the road today. The sound made me smile, you don't hear many v8 utes anymore and I suspect the number is going to keep decreasing.

How was your pizza?
Not sure I'd agree that bad pizza is still good pizza though.

[CoupeKing]

Speaking of pizza, a few weeks back I discovered a new joint - Large pizza, 1.25 coke and garlic bread delivered for $17.50, and the pizza was very good!

I felt good that day

As custodians of this planet and ( questionably ) the most intelligent species alive today, I think it’s our responsibility to do our best to preserve every other species whenever and wherever we can, excluding flies, ants and mozzies, after all we did all evolve from the same place. Im constantly moving insect from harms way, this morning while paying for my petrol, I noticed this guy on the door mat inside the freezing cold servo very much in harms way obviously struggling with the cold,
so I picked him up and put him in the closest tree, took a while to get him off my finger..
makes me feel good every time

[Feathers]

Watched an awesome game of hockey today. My team won, which made it even better.

[commodorenutt]

Had some family around, so I cooked 2 charcoal chickens (rotisserie), a 2.5kg pork roast, and roast potatoes in 2 Weber kettles. Everything came out perfect - juicy & tender meat, and nice crunchy, smoky potatoes.

But then I ate too much & didn't feel so good....

[Junkyard-Dog]

My dinner date went well. Even if it doesn't work out, the Chinese food was good.

[Rallye Sport]

I've had my Escort for 22 years today, it was my first car. It's also 22 years since I got my first speeding ticket lol.
Heading for a drive up the coast doing 'cool laps' of all the marina's and cafe strips along the way then I'll head home and watch Love The Beast... again...

Just made me feel good when I realised it's 23 years since my last speeding ticket (which ironically, was in an XF).

[93EB_SXR6]

I hope I never get a speeding ticket.

Being a sole contractor I have to take the good with the bad.
I sometimes mess up on quotes but always honour them and usually pick up more work because of it.

One thing my company does with new clients is to either quote really tight or even at a minor loss to create repeat business. You recoupe it in the long term, but only if its a client who you know will be looking for a contract, not the obvious1 off jobs. Purely because of the competition in the market we have to stay competitive because its as simple as a phone call to another electrical mob to get another quote. Its not a specialist industry.

[Olbucko]

It's 52 years since my first speeding ticket in an FE Holden and 14 months since my last one in an XR6, which didn't make me feel so good

Out on my morning bike ride yesterday, came across a big old snail trying to cross the road with a good 8 meters or so to go, he wasn't going to make it before getting squished so i dropped the bike picked him up and carried him the rest of the way, dropped him of in some long grass for a chew
