Here it is.

My boss has resigned.

He finishes up before Xmas and I'm going to be acting up until they replace him which may take as long as March April next year. :?

Now I have to think about whether I want to actually apply for the role permanently which is something I'd never actually considered before. I've never been ambitious like that or tried to maneuver myself to be in that position, it just sort of happened.

An extra $100k pa would be nice no doubt but after the ATO takes half I'm just not sure if I'm temperamentally suited to a role like that long term (pretending to be sane is hard work) or if the extra coin is genuinely worth it.

Got some serious thinking to do

You've got to go for it.
We can get rid of that "free candy" sign on the side of the van and get a bitchin Ninja Turtles / My Little Pony paint job.
We would have enough for petrol to get to Frankston and untie swoop from DTM's Fritzel room.
We could even get Proto some decent wresting tights, that Nacho Libre costume he is getting around in could give way at any moment.

All worthy considerations. I'll have to add them to my list of ponderings. :wink:

( I think Swoop likes DTM's Fritzel room. Particularly since he threw in the tub of peanut butter, told him to "rub the lotion on itself" and sent in the goats) :wink:

Massage shops - not sure when it happened but most shopping strips have one or two these days. Do we have some sort of agreement with the Thai Government?

While I've never used one of these found inside a shopping mall I guess they aren't the good kind that finishes nicely.

Bloody rare to find those down my way.

Try natural peanut butter, a little runny, and eat it like a dip with cheese doritos.

Yum.

This thread (particularly the last few posts by Stui, Swoop and P4S) is starting to make me go WTF.
