If Work Was Always Like This.

Well, what a day at work.

We had a guy leaving work today, we knew about it 4 weeks ago but today was his last day. Both of my bosses were out of the state, and during the meeting yesterday, as one of my colluges said "If the cats are away, then the mice will play."

So, woke up at 6:30 left the house at 7:40, and still arrived 1/2 an hour early (I thought there would be traffic) at where???

The golf course.

Ok, so I play golf every 5 years or so. But hey it is still fun, and it is not work and I am being paid for it, so who cares.

In 2 hours we played 9 holes. I won (or lost depending on how you look at things) I had 75 strokes through the 9 holes. For all you non sporting types the par, or average, number of strokes you should have to make for the entire 18 hole course is 72. Ok so this is a number pro's have trouble getting sometimes but it is the target. I had more strokes in 9 holes. As another of my collegues said "You got your moneys worth didn't you"
You bet your arse I did.
Did some gardening and digging as well. Well it was more like cutting clumps of turf with a 9 iron. I did at one point say that I needed a shovel and an axe in my golf bag.

So we got into the office at 11:00. Lunch was set for 12:30, so we started to walk to lunch at 12:10. $5 for all you can fit on a plate at Chinatown. Good value. And I can stack a plate like a master. Forget the rice (unless you like it) and go for the soft stuff first, then the stackable after that. and stack till you reach a spring roll and sweet and sour pork pinnicle. A pyramid of goodness. The perfect food pyramid.
Well maybe not, but it was dam fine for $5.

Then back to the office to do some work for about 2 hours. They go home to be at the pub for 4:00.

What a day of work. I think if all my working days were like this,

1: I would be much better at golf.
2: I would be much fatter for the chinese food.
3: I would get no work done.
4: I would be a drunk for being at the pub every night.

Some of the above I could handle, others not so. But the day was good, and my mood is fine.

James Brown review soon.
