My week at work...

[aardvark]

I'd suggest that no-one gives a shit, but the Tour Down Under is currently on in sunny SA. Each day until Sunday I sit under a tree for a couple of hours, stop the traffic when the bikes are getting close, then go home.

Today I was in Tanunda, sitting in the shade near a vineyard.

To make you all jealous, I'll take a couple of photos each day and put them in here.

Todays photo was taken with my phone, on it's lowest setting so I could send them to other suckers stuck in offices.

(And yes, that's the latest AMCN sitting under my screen)

Living the life !

Jase, congrats on the job - always good to get a job you love!

Keep up the good work

[Jonno]

At least it makes it worthwhile to turn up for the pay check, so who or how many did you kill to get into that job

That BMW trip you had/won and riding one for work has a few things that seem strangely closely related

[balanse]

Brings to mind some Banjo Patterson...

....In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy

Gone a-droving down the Cooper where the Western drovers go;

As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing,

For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. .....

What makes me feel slightly better is looking at the thing you have to ride.

[Tack]

Can you get the radar out and wait till the bikes come past and then chase 'em down and book one of 'em for speeding or something....

[Stereo]

This guy looks like he is having WAAAAY more fun than you.....

[MickLC]

Bastard, I hope it rains

[red_dave]

What's for lunch??? Engine black eggs?

I couldn't be bothered updating on the other days, so here's all the pics in one go.

Again, all pics taken on the crappy phone.

Was bloody hot today. 46 on the road side, 38 degrees under the crappy golf umbrella they gave us. As you can see, I tied mine to my rear light. Made all the difference and was glad to have it. I drank about 5 litres of water today. Luckily I don't have to work out in heat like this on too many days.

At least it makes it worthwhile to turn up for the pay check, so who or how many did you kill to get into that job

Didn't have to kill anyone. Someone decided they didn't want to do it anymore. Well, that's more story and I'm sticking to it.

Yes, but wait until he gets to his traffic point. Then he'll be sitting on the side of the road like me.

Since I don't have an aircon at home, work probably thinks I don't need one when I'm at work.
