    Woohoo I’m part of the mobile internet revolution. Posting from my Nokia E71 at work in my meal break. I was a bit slow to take up the new technology as I am with most technology except colour t.v. I bought one of those suckers the month it started broadcasting in 1975. Had a Rank Arena, it was a good set and lasted well over 10 years. Not all programs were broadcast in colour though at first in the trial period. The first show I saw in colour was Daniel Boone (pity of trivia there)

    Greg its the new term for Transit Officer, but with slightly adjusted duties

    in reply to: Hello Goodbye Thread Mark II #160

    Yes I did say I was available for Saturday and Sunday afternoon but that wouldn’t work now following the swap as I start at 8:00 a.m. I do say no sometimes especially if I’m buggered or I have something I’m going to.
    In other news I made it to stage 2 of Transport Officer on Thursday and my transfer back To Bondi Junction has been approved, its just a matter of when. I’m going back because of the travelling involved especially to Eastwood and too many bullies and gossipers in my present area. I was bullied on Wednesday not only by a psa but a dickhead Supervisor as well. This is after doing 7 hours straight without a break, 4 at Eastwood and 3 at Epping after nobody had been there for 4 hours. The trouble is nobody does anything about it. Ive reported it to the Union and Michael said he would ask the Shift Manager what happened. I’ve had enough of it. I could understand being bullied if I was a bludger, but I had been busting my guts.

    Good evening all, did my 9th day shift in a row today. Started with 1 day at Epping, 1 at Mac. Uni and 7 at Eastwood. Todays was an overtime shift, leaving me with only day off. The good news is I was supposed to be starting at noon and finishing at 8:00 p.m on Monday but I got a swap with a person working at the same station so I’ll be starting at 8:00 a.m and finishing at 4:00 p.m. Enough time to get to the game at Brookie. I wonder how people get rostered 4 and 5 days off in a row. This year I’ve only managed 3 days in a row and they always want me to work 2 of them.

    I was at work too. I asked my brother to text me if we won. He didnt so I thought we had lost. Curiosity got the best of me so I looked it up on fox sports news on my phone. I recorded it but still have not watched it. I cant get into Facebook on my phone though. it keeps saying wrong password even when I put it exactly. I need an android eventually.

    Will it be another year when I don’t see you at the footy Greg? Last year the games you went to I couldn’t because of work. This year we have so many Monday night games. I have Sunday off so can go to this one. They have me working o/t on Friday and Saturday. The o/t is coming thick and fast at present with people having sickies and holidays. Not enough staff

    Okay I’m in as I should be able to get my tips in most weeks. If I’m doing night shift or o/t or something Ill ring them through. I still don’t have mobile internet.:soldier::horse:

    Did you ever get that trophy back? The one I was never going to win?

    in reply to: Horse Tipping Discussion Thread #300

    Aw I logged in to see if I won or not.
    I was busy working last Saturday and forgot to put my tips in until I rang you. I’m usually pretty regular at getting my tips in but I’m getting used to a new station Chatswood. It was my first Saturday shift there and you are working alone. ‘Ill see how it goes as well. I’m never going to win it. Ive made 2 grand finals over the years for 2 losses and 1 minor premiership. I’m the sharks of horse tipping. Thereabouts but never quite getting across the line

    Here’s the controversial question. I’m thinking of getting a new com to replace my aging one. A lot of people at work in my sector bring laptops to work with them. I was thinking apple but there has been a bit of negative publicity about them lately. Should I just get a cheap laptop for portable use, to surf the net and watch movies while travelling home and at work during breaks and maybe get a home system later? The amount of technology available is a bit confusing and depends on what suits your needs, a lot of people just have tablets.

    G’day I don’t check the site out every day like I used to especially now that I am using Google and only open pages up when I want to read them whereas before I used to have a few pages open automatically as home pages. whats happening in rocker world? Looks like no more money for Brookie from the State Government. what they don’t seem to realise is that Melbourne actually has transport to sporting venues and both major stadiums are an easy flat walk from the city. One is adjacent to the main railway station. Sydney is hilly and has no tram or train line anywhere near Moore Park and the bus stops outside the Fox Studios site not SFS. They expect old and invalid people to walk all that way back to the ground.

    Only if its football related off course. You’ve told me you don’t want any personal problems posts live on the site except in pms. :crazy:
