Another Day, No Dollars!

Posted on June 17, 2023June 18, 2023 by Anthony

Ha, no earnings today. It is the weekend again, and even though last Monday was a public holiday, I added an extra day in overtime. It took a while to adjust to the 5:30 am starts this week. The first few days, I was waking before my alarm to the fear of sleeping in. Thursday […]

The Man in the Arena

Posted on June 12, 2023June 12, 2023 by Anthony

This is my favourite piece of a speech. It was shown to me by a man named Charles. Charles had a great impact on my life and I consider him a friend now. Charles helped me through a difficult time in my life. Cheers Charles! “It is not the critic who counts; not the man […]

Who do you want to be?

Posted on June 12, 2023June 25, 2023 by Anthony

That is an interesting question that we must all ask ourselves. I didn’t do well in my HSC and that set me up for the rest of my life. When I was 17, I wanted to be a photographer, but a stint as a tradesman’s assistant in a fitters workshop changed my direction. Sure, I […]

Super Saturday!

Posted on June 10, 2023June 12, 2023 by Anthony

Well, that is what Michelle Bridges called it. It was the day that extra effort into your exercise. Do you ever have an alarm go off to wake you and feel totally disorientated? I have to say that was my wake-up this morning. I was sure I had to go to work but did the […]

Another Week Done!!

Posted on June 9, 2023June 17, 2023 by Anthony

Good evening the week is done, and it is gold and diamonds time for me. It was a pretty good week, and the days were not too long. Bar today, it was a monster, starting at 6:15 and knocking off at 4:45 this afternoon, I am not going to calculate that as it may depress […]

Work week coming

Posted on June 4, 2023June 4, 2023 by Anthony

So it was a typical Sunday morning, up at 6 and off for a short work after that coffee. I had an errand to do as we had no milk and Miss O had spent the night. It is a usual Saturday night event for Miss O to spend her Saturday night here. I copped […]

Saturday Yeah

Posted on June 3, 2023June 17, 2023 by Anthony

So I snuck a sneaky 9 minutes this morning, smacked that snooze at 6 am and went back to sleep. How does that happen, you are blasted awake with the shrill of an iPhone, manage to find the snooze button (and don’t forget that without my glasses I can’t see shit) and then go back […]

Diamonds and Gold

Posted on June 2, 2023June 17, 2023 by Anthony

TGIF – I have made it through another week, Time to put the diamonds and gold on. Got to admit I am missing being on the fork, but 2700 dividers going in wasn’t too much of a problem. Didn’t get that 12:30 finish as I would have liked but we got all the runs done […]

First day of winter!

Posted on June 1, 2023June 17, 2023 by Anthony

So the alarm went off at 5 am today even though I was not going to work. I don’t change the alarm as I would probably forget to turn it back on the next day. Didn’t someone say it was good to keep a routine? I do tend to do that myself, though I give […]

Humpday – Wicked Wednesday

Posted on May 31, 2023June 17, 2023 by Anthony

So it is the middle of the week. Yippy!! Going to be a bit of a break this week for me as I have Thursday off, a few things I need to take care of that I just can’t get done on the weekend… Though I must admit that I have had my fair share […]
