Since we are on Work Sob stories....
I would get up at 0430 out the door at 0500, drive 29kms to work and jump in truck and run around farms and stuff all day or possibly some city markets then jump back in old Ute about 1930 and head for home, mongrel life.....................
But it was way better than climbing into the Long Distance Coach at 1930 and watching the rotten thing drive away at about 0800 the next morning in Blackall, cold beer with piglet and bum nuts for brekky, camp under AC in Motel during the day and back into another mongrel at 1900 that night to head home .......... Cull a few 'Roos along the way................
But those 2 jobs were beaten by waving goodbye to the mob on the wharf in January and not seeing them again till sometime in May or June ......... but i did wear a fancy uniform, go to really cool places.....
Now I get up when I damn well want to, drive when I feel like it and can have a beer anytime, no watch, no alarms, no schedule to keep ........ Life is Good, well until Chris tells me what she has planned for the day so my life of leisure can be changed at short notice ...................... I'm allowed to dream......
