Same sort of boat WPT that is why I was curious - I have a meeting with my team of me frequently usually on the back deck with a coffee but I rarely agree with me and I have given up on Chris Kringle as I am not sure what to buy myself or even if I deserve anything!

And sometimes I make happy thread but sometimes I really piss me off and think I want a new boss Very Happy

When started my new job I was told that management is very big on team bonding activities and attendance was compulsory. The idea of walking into a room with butchers paper and forced audience participation fills me with terror.

Thankfully it turns out their idea of bonding is more winery tours and go karting.

Achieved a lot today.

Finally got the new myob on both my laptop and pc, and they both work. Finally got my laptop working properly, (well ok, dell did it for me!)
The agent rang me yesterday looking to sell the house! Well he got me just at the wrong time! I'd just tracked down the new agent, and discovered my agent gave the scum suckers a reference. A good one! So yeah, he got both barrels, and more! I actually said sorry cos he's a nice guy. And then reloaded.

So him and the boss guy from the agency met me at the house, and are going to take some pics next week and call in the assessor. (My agent just wanted to submit a claim AFTER we fix the joint! Um no!) so I'm getting some help now! And after the third call and god knows how long on hold, I think the power may actually go on tonight!

Phew last appt at the haematologist with mum before I take off to Africa - all good thankfully Very Happy

Poor doc not used to our sense off humour nearly fell off his chair when mum said "Oh well she put it off last year but I won't die so I have to let her go whilst she can still get up the mountain to see the relatives ( the mountain gorillas) Laughing

Worked the gate for Glenorchy today, dad and I were helping with the raffle we made the junior footy club well over 100 dollars in ticket sales. Even better Glenorchy won, they won the development league and are sitting on top of the ladder.

I SO SO SO want this to be fact - and if it is happy won't cut it bloody ecstatic will be an understatement!!!!

The Professional Hunters� Association of South Africa (PHASA) has claimed on their website that South African Airways (SAA) Cargo has placed an embargo on the transportation of hunting trophies (rhino, elephant, lion and tiger) on its services worldwide.

This embargo is allegedly with immediate effect and no exceptions will be made, even if the shipper has a valid permit issued by the relevant authorities.

Many South African and international conservation groups have expressed thanks to South African Airways for their apparent bold and principled decision to assist authorities to combat illegal wildlife trafficking of ivory, rhino horn, lion and tiger bones.

The illegal trafficking of wildlife products has become a multi-billion dollar industry and the airways are constantly looking for new ways to combat the illegal trade. Recently sniffer dogs have been introduced to many of the international airports in South Africa.

SAA have also put their personnel through rigorous training in order for them to be able to identify various different wildlife products.

About bloody time isn't it. So good to see a lot of countries burning their stockpiles so it can't be sold, or exported.

One of the worse provinces in Vietnam will be totally free from bear bile farms as of I think it's about 15 May, the last bears are off to a sanctuary.

And with a lot of countries/states banning performing wild animal circus acts, seems humanity is having some wins. Still too late, but thank god it's coming.

I applied to volunteer for North Melbourne when they play Richmond down here, not expecting to be given a go, I got an email this morning and they've offered me the role of Fan Engagement Zone Assistant.

I guess all I've done for local footy kinda helped.

Got back from Hellfire pass and the River Kwai for ANZAC day (and managed to see the last 3 quarters of our game). Checked the footy tipping and I one off the pace out of 115000 and in 34 th place. And 4 in front of our comp where first prize is 1200 dollars. I am suffering physically though. We drank heaps.
