Another day, another wasted 24hrs?

Well I thought I better start by explaining the name of this blog. Its not as bad as it sounds, its more of a feeling of no achieving anything yesterday. Thats not to say that I didnt do "STUFF" but the "STUFF" that I did do, wasnt leading up to anything or completing any goals.

The usual morning wake at 6.40, in the shower and out ready to leave by 7.00. Now because I live on the Gold Coast and my work is in Brisbane I get to catch the unreliable public transport call the train. Lucky for me I can sleep anywhere so I get another 1hrs sleep on the way up.

After my brisk walk to work (only 3 blocks) I arrive and for some reason I always look up. It might have something to do with the massive Space Needle sitting out the back of where I work or the fact Im having a little moment with God asking today goes quickly? Who knows, but there isnt enough time to stand around and stare into the sky. In through the warehouse, past the training salon, past reception and up the marble (yes its actually marble) staircase to the heart of where I work. For a headoffice there isnt that many people. 3 accountants, 2 payroll, 1 stockman (not really sure whats his offical name is, but he makes sure all the stores have what they need) 2 IT staff thats all that is upstairs. Downstairs we'll talk about later.

So there I am sitting at my desk, usually on msn or www.secretdrift.com.au wasting time until something exciting happens. One good thing that did happen, was the fact I started my blog, so hopefully that will keep my days full and exciting?

I have to share a story with you about a job I had to do yesterday but first I have to explain who I work for. I work for Stefan at Stefan Hair Fashion looking after the IT related problems for the headoffice and also the 47 Stores around Queensland and soon to be 1 in Sydney. So anyway onto the job I did yesterday. I get a email 2 days before hand from the Myer's Centre salon saying we need a new keyboard. I figured it wasnt working anymore, so yesterday I grab a new keyboard, and scam a lift with Chris (warehouse bitch) who is going to JoJo's which is in the same area. Get to the salon and the keyboard has melted keys. Im not joking, the keys on the board were melted so much they were stuck down. I find out that they were cleaning it with a HAIRDRYER.... ok I know Im not the smartest apple in the tree (u can probably tell by all the spelling mistakes in this blog) but there is 1 thing I know and thats not to use a hairdryer to clean plastic.. I hold back my laughter as I change it over and leave.

Well this blog for today is getting really long, Ill summaries the rest.

Left the salon, went to JoJo's and got a free mocca :) it was nice, then left and half way back to work realised i left the keyboard at JoJo's. Called them and they threw it away for me. Back at office, nothing really happens for the rest of the day. Finish work, catch train, usually on train I sit with a ground of people I met and we play Billionaire, recently they have been getting over it, and just sitting around and talking. We organised via email during the day to sit in the front carriage of the train so we could all meet and chat. They get on at Central and Roma (i think) and I get on at Sout Brisbane. Today when i get on I reliase they arent on the carriage they said they would be, I walk to the next, still nothing. I just off at the next station, run down another carriage and get back on, still nothing. Im like :( maybe they didnt get on at all.

Through my smarts, I make a phone call to my loverly girlfriend Suzy and she gets me the phone number of one of my billionaire buddies. I send the number a msg and get a reply not long after, they are in the next carriage. Unfortunately its really really busy and I dont want to push past people. I was until we get to Loganlea and do another dash off the train and back on again. I find my friends and sigh and relax. The rest of the trip was good, just chating and messing around (sorry about the billions of rubber bands I had).

I was excited for the night time cause I knew my good mate Petey was going to be coming around so we can work on my car. (Will post pictures at the end) 7.30 rolls around I msg him, nothing, 8.00 I msg again, he replies saying he wont be long. 8.30 comes and so does 9. Suzy calls me and says she is picking me up. I msg Petey and tell him not to worry, I dont even get a reply :(

Well after I get picked up its a simple case of getting ready for bed, putting on a movie and falling asleep thinking, I wonder what tomorrow (today) will be like. Hopefully a little better.

Here are the pics of my car.



I have a shit, and I mean a SHIT load more from the entire build. I will make a gallery so you can see them all if you wish.
Until tomorrow - or later :P
