BACK INTO IT

Yep i'm a postman again... did a new run yesterday and one of the houses i delivered to was MINE haha sweet... yes hehe.  The run itself was quite challenging... hard to tell how gnarly it is compared to others ive done on the first day but after i get up to speed i'll have more of an idea.  Then again i don't know if i'll be on that run again or was it just a one off for me.  Since i've jioned the Howick team ive fully done 3 runs and i like the idea of moving around a bit which is good.  in earliers posts i mentioned a few numbers that were the mail runs i did.. those numbers have changed becasue we've changed the run layout a bit....  and some runs don't exist anymore... for example the highland park run (23) has been assymilated into other runs (55 is one of them).  but 55 is now 215 i think and now includes part of highland park area along with a bit of bucklands beach rd... doesn't have the area where Scotts house is though... or the peaceful Oliver Rd neighbourhood.  All the run numbers have changed and i'll be updating them to give you an idea of what is what in regards to the runs that i have done.

Anyway moving on I have been chatting to Carla who does Athletics for Pakuranga Athletics club and she of course was the person who origionally suggested that i do athletics.  Of course next month i WILL be doin athletics... club meets only because i can't do interclub as thats on a Sat and i'm working on Sat... and i don't like rushing... especially in a job where there is no set finishing time.  I'm stoked to be doing athletics and will be something different and fits right into my schedule to socially get fit for summer... other things i plan to do are going for runs with mates (like the Panmure Basin etc) and of course the group fitness classes at the gym... which i'm back into and will be going tonite if the conditions ain't right for kiting.  The guys are piking out as allways so it'll be just me and the ladies from my freinds list going... including the super keen Eva who after becoming a mum is looking super fit again.  My flatmate Emma is also keen and like Eva and myself is keen on getting "hot and skinny" for summer haha.  Last year it was me and Dayna... this year the group is bigger.  But where are the guys?  the guys i hang out with are LAZY haha

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.
