Title: Its not fair
Post by: nisnav on March 07, 2014, 01:42:05 PM
AAARRRGGGHHHH

Just done a round trip from Drouin to Balwyn north and the freeways are full of loaded up 4bys and campertrailers all heading off for the long weekend.

What am I doing ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WORKING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this weekend, well start 5 shifts Sunday actually and the penalty rates (while we still have them Mr Abbot) will be a nice bonus

Just please if you are heading off make sure you drive safe,  have a great time and have a cold one for me

Cheers

Graham

Don't worry nisnav I was coming home to Drouin from a training day in Glen Waverley and the freeway was packed heading out as well.

I too have to work all weekend but we do not get penalty rates.

Geaham, would it make you feel any better if I told you we'll be stuck in that traffic as we head off to the Gippsland Lakes tonight?  >:D
It should have thinned out by the time we go past Drouin tho ;D ;D

I've got three and a half weeks before I can leave. 2 April leave Sydney with wife, towing camper trailer, with two friends in their own car and head to Portland (VIC), then eastward along the Victorian Coast right through to South Durass, which is just north of Batemans Bay (NSW).  A week or so there and then home around Anzac Day.  Looking forward to it.

Marcus,
Don't think that it hadn't crossed my mind... She's never been on time for anything, the 1st 2 x kids were over a week late!
