So last night I wasn't a happy camper. That feeling persisted overnight and into the first hour or so at work today.

Then a few things started coming together.

I'm a good boss, I have a good boss and he has a good boss. I'm not game to test the blood pressure but it's not up redlining a stroke like it was last night, so things are getting there.

The ole light at the end of tunnel is showing. It's been a real long tunnel but the end is actually in sight if not in reach. Just got to stick to the program.


Glad to hear it.

Now trash the ciggies please, or I'll have to practice the old slap grab twist roll!

Cheers xx

Nah, no more ciggies. I know it's not an option to be a casual smoker, it just doesn't work. So last night was something driven by some mental version of muscle memory, when under what felt like at the time quite serious stress, reach for a smoke. So I did.

I quit because I didn't want to smoke. I still don't want to smoke. If I only do it when I'm under serious stress i can live with that. If that becomes frequent I either need a different job or to redefine the definition of serious stress Wink

I had my first coaching session today, I was teaching a couple of kids some basic skills. Some parents weren't too impressed with today but it was just assessing the kids, some of the kids had their fun they got jumpers and their Auskick packs.

We wrapped it up after half an hour because the kids were tired, I was god a few were enjoying it one boy didnt want to leave. Felt sad for one who signed up today didn't get his bag cause they didn't pay but I gave it to him anyway, he will be back next week I have all their details.

Absolutely.

Point 1, swallow
Point 2, if you do dribble, dry clean the dress.

This morning at 6.30am my old Neighbour hird the scum tenants slam the door of our old house, they finally rang the agency, said the keys to the house are inside, to the receptionist and hung up. Rocked up to meet the agent. She said omg I can't believe it, I said I'm only surprised they didn't tip the bins over the floor! All three bins are full of dirty nap pies and maggots, dirty old pillows and crapped stacked out the front, rubbish form one end to the other, the walls are filthy cleaning won't help, 2 broken windows, moulds showers, blinds ripped from the wall, the carpet covered in grease,

Yep you gotta hate scummy landlords!

Why am I happy? I have the keys.

The agent said we will never find them. The agent doesn't have 2 teenage daughters! The agent does now have their new address, phone number and a photo of their car in the driveway, some screen shots from Facebook that show the house a mess when they lived there, and some really nice comments!

May the karma bus smack them hard

Feel sorry for the new landlord, it's a brand new house!

That's appalling Jo!
I've never understood how some people can treat other peoples property.
I've rented dozens of places and I can't remember one that I'd call a scum-bag. Most of them want you to get things fixed when there broken.
My landlady is a wonderful woman.
She backs me in everything I'm doing with the place (I've repaired the spouting, diverted the shower water to the vegie parch and repaired the roof) and doesn't question me when I've needed to get tradie in to fix something I can't..
I'm lucky she found me!

Real Estate Agents are another matter!
They want to wring the last cent out of you and do as little repairs or maintenance as possible and your bond regarded as money not yet there's! grrrrr.
