Being a good samaritan

Was just driving home from work when I saw someone break down. Others just went past, the miserable sods, but I stopped and offered my help. Basically just had to help push start the car. So that will give me good karma to compensate for yesterday morning when I stole a can of redbull from the petrol station. However this was only because I'd taken dodgy sleeping tabs Sunday night and I'd woken up extremely groggy. So off to peti station for good old red bull, a queue of 15 people and 1 person at the till - dilema don't you think? I needed the redbull, couldn't afford to be late for work, so not really stealing, is it.

At the end of my last entry I'd said that I was off to spend quality time with Josh, my little bro..... So I played with him in the spa. Afterwards we sat down at the dinner table and he has this huge swollen bruise on his forehead. His mum goes what the hell is this and Josh goes, "I banged my head when Tim through me in the pool". Nice one Josh, poor little sod too young to realise he was getting me into trouble. Moral of the story - don't play with little children.

Hassles this morning too. Had 15 Jan deadline to pay this stupid $350US speeding fine, I'd gone to the bank at the weekend and sorted it so that I could post a cheque off, just needed to get the name and plead another week or so extension. Well cause of stupid time zones had to get up extra early before work and phone up, so not happy. Almost an hour on some stupid waiting service, pressing 0 every 20 bloody seconds and I still didn't get through! So stupid deadlines passed now! Might not be able to go back to the states now, oh well, being melodramatic really, calm down. Hopefully rental car company won't start deducting money of my stupid credit/debit card, they have details of both. Ooops silly me, should have just given credit details then I can always cancel the card - learn a new lesson every day.

Otherwise the last week hasn't been too exciting, work work work last week, Had a pleasant weekend though, friday night went out for some drinkies. Saturday sunbathed on the beach and had some more drinks. Sunday hung out and went to the cinema to see Holiday, it was crap. But last night saw "About a Boy" DVD that I'd rented from the library and that was excellent, a jolly good film I thought.

New job is stressful but it'll earn me good money so gotta do it. The woman I work for is lovely and quite funny. But its way too hectic and I don't like being a salesman, I haven't been anywhere near meeting my silly "weekly targets" and to be frank I don't give a sh*t. I'm outta there in 5 weeks.

Then off to Sydney to party for Mardi Gras and go back to some easy job like bar work just to cover costs. Thankfully a friend of mine from Perth will be coming so should have a whale of a time. Happy Days.
