Melbourne cup day today. Someone in the office was complaining that it’s a public holiday in Victoria but us NSWites (is that a word?) don’t get the day off. Well, I can say from all of my experiences of Melbourne cup, not a lot gets done in the office. it may as well be a public holiday! So I’m happy with that.
We’ve got the office sweep running, I’m running it. Damn its annoying doing these things. Trying to get people to pay up on what they’ve committed, managing the money and all that. It’s for the birds!!! Next year, I think I will set up my own bookie to get some revenue from my hard earned worked. The good news is that 15% of earning we get from the sweep are going to Movember, which will be $20-$30.
I’m on Tawqeet on the nose as well as about 5 horses on a box trifecta. Not expecting to win anything, but its a bit of fun.
Of course, Pearl Jam is tonight. I’ve been listening to all my albums and am so pumped its not funny! Tomorrow will be reporting in on how it goes.
Gotta go, off to the pub!
