Day Two Hundred & Sixty Two
OK. Day off. Sleep in and read my book. Got breakfast in bed (it took 3 hours to clean the kitchen later but that's besides the point).
Girlies all then went shopping and had lunch out - as you do.
Came home, ooops read my book some more with a cup of tea and some biccy's, then got asked to have a mask session with the eldest. hmmmmmmmmm so here i am scrubbed clean to within an inch of my life LOL
Kids relaxing, dinners being cooked, nice life for some hey :)

Quiet night watching old movies. Excellent!! xc

Day Two Hundred & Fifty Nine
OK, so today was a nice work day. Our designers have been working flat chat for us all year and so it was time to take them to lunch. We shared some laughs at the Oriental...
Woody and Carlos look like a Dolce & Gabbana couple ahahaaaaaaaa
I use Kwik Kopy in Norwood for our design and printing needs. They are excellent - Woody's design skills (and also Shane's) are excellent. They are excellent value and price... although every now and then I get caught out when i order report printing like this week ahahahaaaaa you forget that printing reports of 200 pages with multiple size pages in full colour dont necessarily mean a cheap run!! LOL
anyway - i still love them :) xc

Day Two Hundred & Fifty Seven
5 + 7 = 12, 1 + 2 = 3
three
wow, how could it be.
it seems the world spins in things of three. three things happen for a reason.... they could be three bad things , three good things, three things made up of good and bad. whatever...
and here we are three... small part of a bigger me, but its the way we get family trees... ahahahaaaaa
PS: yes, sometimes i write to simply amuse myself - be humorous like my daughter and just say "yes, OK mum".

PPS: sounds like Amburger might start blogging again - watch this space - yaaaah

Day Two Hundred & Fifty Six
OK so yes i forgot to take the piccy today... been looking at houses and dealing with crazee questions and people all day - and no, not from Miss Talking Girl this time. Altho - her questions started up as soon as I got home.
Here's a biccy with cup of tea :))
the crazeeeeest scenario today - would you say this (and only this) on the last day of an exiting employee who has had her job restructured out from under her, considering she has worked patiently for the past six weeks as an exiting employee with you and who had just sent a fun exit email to colleagues:
"I don't understand or appreciate your flippant restructure comment. It's not productive or accurate."
i wouldn't. and i took complete offense to this CEO's response.
the fact he sent it as a one liner via an iPhone, with no formal signoff made my skin crawl. grrrrr
firstly - i saw the original email which wasn't too bad - it said something like "due to a restructure here and there, i have accepted a package". whooopppeee
to gain such a quick fired back negative response - which was cc'd to the HR manager as well - makes me feel like more sinister aspects are at play. And yet - hello, it was the employees last day? what was the next step - to sack her? goodness me.
considering eight years of solid employment has been struck off by a single one liner response and any goodwill has now gone out the window - the future starts with a bitter twist. so, what's wrong with a "thanks for your contribution, you have saved our arse on many occasions but our business directions are different and we wish you well with the future?".
such a poor response and a bad move.
email flaming was rife ten years ago - we all should take a deep breath before we send reactionary responses, count to ten and rethink. havent we learnt yet?
and there in lies the topic of another blog - facebook flaming - the new age. xc

reBlog from Charlie: DeadRedsWineGroup

I found this fascinating quote today:
... we find this amusing as the Dead Reds Five winner was in fact the 1958 version of Yalumba Galway Claret... on a road to bigger and better things and certainly not dead yet (ie to be named after Menzies).Charlie, DeadRedsWineGroup, Sep 2009
You should read the whole article.

Day Two Hundred & Fifity One
dilemma. had to access my work laptop in keswick and i was in pirie street. it was urgent. yah for the IT guys who hooked me up via their citrix gizmo and i could get to my laptop, use the software loaded on it - open all the files i needed and do the work that was needed. all in about five minutes.
a tad more sophisticated and easy than having to drive back to do it :))
not bad hey. gotta love the way technology is heading. :))
xc
Day Two Hundred & Fifity
Our work internal business forums are quite useful to learn from across the business what various areas are focusing on and/or have produced.
this was one such meeting.
we generally have about half the company in attendance - around 100...
here i am with Jan our Team Leader for Network Reliability (so kinda important dude you'd say). i traveled to south africa last year as he's from there and we were recruiting... fun happy bloke who prefers living in australia for all the logical reasons!!

Day Two Hundred & Forty Nine (v1)
what's the best way to demonstrate the domestic side of life? a cup of tea for two please? a bit of abstract - andy warhol style but not as coloured....??
Day Two Hundred & Forty Eight
This was a classic day. Outside i the sunshine taking fotos for a company who's transportable office was beig delivered and we all got a tad in trouble by the SafeWork SA inspectors. Fortunately we are all experts and so were quick to rectify the lack of orange vest (mine straight from the catwalk...) and hard hats when needed but I managed to get further into trouble as I remained with my high heels on... no safety boots. oops. i explained to the lovely man that the message was loud and clear and id never do anything like that again and he left me alone - kinda. well, i left the site LOL
it's for our good, so i cant complain. but what i thought was going to be a quick easy fotoshoot of 10 minutes turned into an hour n half of time plus inspector dramas eeeek. urgh.

Day Two Hundred & Forty Seven
my beautiful niece has been made redundant from her day job. i actually say - yah - because she had lost her passion. she's a graphic designer and it had become fairly mundane. she worked for tourism SA... and whilst i know they can do some good work - they are still a government department with all the bureaucracy that goes with it.
well, she's off to freelance and ive been asked to mentor her. eeeek. i'm nervous - but it will be a lovely challenge :))) not so re her ... more for me ie to coach someone into a new business. sally's work is excellent - i am happy to refer her anywhere and to anyone. she is a traditional graphic designer but... more about sally's new business as we go... so stay tuned!!
in the meantime she's selling some tupperware!!! so, i had a partee. as you do. bought some plastic pots. so - if you need some, let me know!!! OK
xc
Day Two Hundred & Forty Six
what on earth possessed me to agree to go rollerskating??? LOL ah yes, Ruby's birfday. well OK then LOL
so, here we are. i ended up flat out on my bum. very sore indeed - bruises everywhere... but ah well. it was a laff for sure!! xc
Day Two Hundred & Forty Five
if in adelaide in september the must see event is the royal adelaide show... and it's woodchoppers. i got to see one - the final >> a wham bam thankyou ma'am later and it was all over - about 30 seconds of fast fury!! loved it.
of course the rides are fun and yes, we did the yellow brick road... but for me this year, the wood choppers, the coopers drink / food area and chunky custard after-fireworks-show made it all worth it :))
