Theft in the neighbourhood




Things have been up-to-my-neck-busy and to make things even worse, my car got broken into last Monday!

Fortunately, I don't really keep anything of value in the car *I can read the Melways hence never had a need for a GPS*. My coin compartment was still intact but the glove compartment was ransacked and due to frustration most likely - all of my service records, KM claim book etc was thrown all over the road.

The funny part is, I noticed the shatter from home and at first glance, I thought it was just ice as it was quite cold the night before but on closer inspection, it was a bit weird coz only the drivers side window was "icy" - the rest were fine. Went in for a closer look and *yeah*, the drivers side window was shattered. Being tempered, it was shattered - but as it was windy - all it needed was a strong gust of wind for it to smash into smithereens.

Oh well, ran around to get the police report run and finally with the help of duct-tape and a clear sheet of plastic, I was on my way to Bendigo - albeit a few hours late.
post note: My neighbours sisters car got broken into last Sun (exactly 7 days after mine was), and it was parked exactly where my car was parked the week before. The scary part is - she was only visiting and was away for all of 10 minutes. Thank God I'm moving.

Adelaide - again!

Uhuh - I am in Adelaide - a.g.a.i.n.

Awake at 2:10 EST - not good.

ETA to wake up time - 4 1/2 hrs.

The implementation isn't going as smoothly as expected - which isn't really surprising really. Having a site that has directors arguing and treating their own staff members like sh*t ~ shouting at staff in front of visiting consultants (i.e. me) - what type of impression does that leave me? What more, very embarrassed staff members.

Have already been told off by a senior partner due to no fault of mine - extremely frustrating.
Just have to grit my teeth and go through 2 more days of it.

I can, I shall, I will

Yet another interstate trip.

In Adelaide - again.

T.I.R.E.D

Wont I be glad when I get to fly back home tmr and just take it easy before another start of the week.

Oh wait - maybe not - have to clean house - did I forget to mention that we are selling our current place and our home is open for all and sundry every Thursday evening (5:15pm to 5:45pm) and Saturday (12:15pm to 12:45pm)? So because of the mere 1/2 hr twice a week open house, we've got to clean the house so it looks like its a show-house ready for strangers to peek into how we make the space, our own? Just realised - house goes to auction next week!

T.I.R.E.D - need sleep - most prob will snooze before attempting to head to the gym (3 months to D-Day, room service and lack of activity isn't helping!)
