G'day from "vegemiterules"

I am still posting from the Internet Cafe, I was going to purchase a new PC this weekend, but I am still concerned about the costs of the painting that I have to have done on my Unit, so will have to wait a couple of more weeks.

Well, what a week, I know that we all need to have leave, but sometimes you wonder when you get back to work. My co-workers were fantastic and tried to cover for me, but they have their jobs to do as well, so I am still catching up.

That leads me on to a conversation that I was having with Philip (my Manager), I have written about him previously actually if you page down you will find a photo of him, I was in his office having a coffee and just catching up about life outside of the work place, when out of the blue, he said that he was thinking about us all the other day.

There are about 30 people that work in the department that I am in, Philip was blown away by how different we all were, from all different walks of life, various ages, yet we all valued, respected and embraced those differences with a genuine affection for each other. He was quite chuffed and felt enormous pride in his department.

Over the past few years there have been many changes, not only in the Job specifications but in the staffing. Sure there have been a few hiccups and a few rank loud mouthed people employed, but they have all been weeded out now, and the the department is very close. But as I told Philip, it all starts from the top and he had a lot to be proud of in himself, we were a reflection of his values, (gee that was a good suck up job done then "vegemiterules"), no seriously, I meant every word. If you have a healthy work environment, it does take the edge off the stress of the job.

On a completely different tangent now, I did not really got into "Lost", but one of my fellow co-workers, he was really into it. We both love Survivor, The Amazing Race and The Mole, so thought that I would support his "Lost" addiction and watch the final show.

All I can say Guys is, if I had invested my time in following the whole series, I would have picked up my TV and threw it out the window, WOT THE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Well it is 23degrees here this Sunday, I will hang about for a little while and drop in and say G'day to as many as I can, then I have other sheds to shear.

Thank-you for still dropping in even though I cannot be online all that often, your support is valued.

Take care,
