    I have had a s**t week. The offsider rocks up Thursady and tells me work is too hard and doesn't want to work on the hard jobs anymore. Well excuse me I don't need an offsider for the easy jobs mate. So needless to say I am lookinng for a new offsider. Really pissed me off because I had jobs booked in for two blokes.

    Then bloody Telstra does something to my phone line and I cannot get internet. The ISP says it is Telstra and Telstra says it is them. I am backing the ISP because it was working fine until Telstra dicked with it. And we have had to deal with stupid bloody pakis in telstras call center. I had to walk away before I lost it. I am using my laptop now on a dongle to get internet. Absolute pain. Did I tell you I hate paki call center operators. ARRRRRRGHHHHH

    Then the mob we have a lease vehicle for my wifes business with try to rip me off on the balloon and it takes a couple of days to sort this out until they say "ohh you are right" too bloody right I am. They tried to slug me nearly 3K extra.

    Then today I had a **** day allround. Everything that could go wrong did. I cannot remember doing anything to no Irishman.
    Cheers

    it's always the way, all the cr@p seems to happen at once rather than spread itself out over the year so you don't notice it so much.

    I think you deserve a rum or three.

    Hope the week improves as you go along.

    Using my stick edger around wall mounted clothes line. Tilt it up when I go to kick some grass away and Thunk! Thunk! chop all the line. Then spend 1.5 hrs trying to find a retailer who sells replacement line....finally got it at Bunnings.

    Yeah mate I hear you, happens to the best of us. Just one thing to try and remember, if it wasn't for the sh*t days the good days don't mean anything. You have to have a crap day now and then to put the the good days in to perspective. Chin up, there is always someone worse off than you.

    At least we still have 2 arms, 2 legs and our health.

    Try burning a hole in someones nice dress when you back up a bit and the hot end of the stick is up against their washing.

    Gotta agree there, have a weekly job which I usually do first up in the morning. Every effing time there a clothes on both lines. How are you supposed to whip the edges and later blow the path with wet or damp clothes on the line? To top it of she is at home bevering away on the sewing machine in the sweat shop in the garage.

    I have never thought of doing that, but I always end up throwing towels and sheets back up over the cloths line so I don't throw crap or leave grassy bits all over them or holes!!
