Great weather

Wow i'm liking this calm, sunny weather we having in Auckland at da mo.  Cold in the mornings and warming up to about 22 degrees so nice and cosy.  Great for doing the mail.  I've been sorta limited to the bike out runs at da mo because my Sentra needs a warrant (yea that time of year again) but not going for one until i get my window fixed.  So as a result i've been taking the Jeep to work just incase i'm put on a drive out run (54, 53, 45) and i can quickly zip home and change cars once i'm ready to deliver my mail.... the depot is not a good place to park an unwarranted car as meter maids patrol the area... learnt the hard way several years ago that they also patrol the pak plaza as well. i have however since been told that i'm gonna be staying on bikeout runs for the time being so i may try biking to work tomorrow... c wot happens.  I am expected to go on a new run in the next few weeks (prob when Liz comes back) and initially it was gonna be 31... but now looks like it will be 32.  But whatever the case it looks like i will be doing a pakuranga run (i've been doing bucklands beach runs mostly since i started).  32 is a bike out run and is one of the longer runs.... infact its the longest bike out run (31 and 54 are drive out runs).  32 has quite a few hills and for combination of hills and length i don't think there is any run that can beat 32.. so physicially it looks tough.... so should be fun :).

Anyway in other news i am planning FOUR trips outside of auckland in the next 12 months.  Initially was meant to be...

June 2010:  Overlander to Wellie... stay with bro, come back up on overlander.

Dec 31st:  Spend New Years in Sydney with Craig.. come back on the second of Jan 2011

Jan 2011:  Have bday in Auckland.... then fly over to Brisbane to visit Luke.... Stay over for rest of Jan.  Was gonna be in 1770 but he's now moved to Brisbane.

Yep those are the trips....

oh hangon i sed FOUR trips didn't i?  there is only THREE there..

Yeah mum asked me if i'm keen on going down with her and dad to see Paul early next month for a day... won't even need to get time off work.  Its to celebrate Jaspers first bday.  So yea of course i'm keen haha.  We will be flying down so that will be my first plane trip in 5 years  (last one was in Nov 2004)... mmm speaking of planes.... time for another archive blog me thinks

BUSY BUSY BUSY but great timing

Well it looks like im staying in Howick now.  Since my last post there has been issues with another Howick postie... but for a different reason and nothing to do with work.  there are two quotes which ring true in my mind at da mo... both relating to arguing.... i hate argueing... its a gross waste of time and energy... time and energy which i dont have at da mo.  I will also only argue my point if i think there is hope in resolving a crisis... and this latest crisis is beyond help imo.  It definately doesnt need my input anyway... and now that im run off my feet at work with day after day of 3pm finishes (used to finish at midday) i see no need to flog a dead horse... id rather just watch it decompose... ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Currently experiencing issues with my internet... changed over to a different net company and whilst the connection itself is working well... my laptop doesnt seem to be towing the line so im on my Vodem which at my place has bad rec...

Jaxx 40th

yes it finally being written up haha... here it is. All fears of any flashpoints between me and Eva were quickly put to rest as we both got along well for setting up the balloons etc.... but i was basically in my "i'm a male i'm there to EAT" state. i had no intention at all of dancing... well the rest is history really as i DID dance. I did manage to get down to 80kgs for the party as i had hoped to do... anyway rolled up to Skots place with Stipe and stoked the male psyche by talking about food and metal whilst watching MMA cage fighting on the tele.  The 5 of us then piled into my car... me, David, Stipe, Skot and Duff... i was the only one under 100kgs... our total weight was over half a ton lols but white lightning was up to da task. Once at da CNB however i put on my more girly state (similiar to what i was like in 2008 and 2009)... danced, posed and even kissed Jaxx under the kissing bell.  Lots of alcohol was drunk but i didn't drink.  quite funny as...

HOLIDAYS

I'm in the middle of my longest break from work since i started at nzp.  it's goin well btw and i've had LOTS of sleep hahaha.  as for a genuine holiday (ie when it's just ME that's not working) i dunno yet.  i didn't put in for holidays during may but at da mo i'm not fussed.  My entitlement starts in August but remember that i do plan on having a month in OZ next Jan.... of course that may not occur.  i will be taking holidays as i'm entitled to them however as i don't want to have anything owing to me in view of what happened with maccas and the fiasco surrounding that.
