Lets get loud....

Friday was "wear a loud shirt to work for charity" day.... and you know me... I don't like to do things by halves.... so although i don't have a pic from Friday.... here is a pic of the offending shirt, which won... yes that right peeps, it won me first place in the loudest shirt comp...not sure wether its a compliment or not... but you know how i like to win!! (luckily the comp was split into boys and girls, as I had NO chance in comparison to Rod... who was rockin his bright orange shirt!!)




Which brings me to an interesting weather condition in Sydney, which could have saved everyone from my loud shirt....


I started to notice something was up when I was finishing up at the ponies last night, if you check out this pic you can see the start of a mist right down in the back paddock...




Now I don't know about you, but one of my fave things at school was the "Hot weather policy" ie... if it gets too hot that you're in danger of becoming at one with the plastic chairs...you can go home....


I would like to bring in the foggy weather policy for work..."if you can't see the city... it's not there... and you therefore don't have to come to work...."


This could have saved me a lot of work today as this was the view as I headed up to the bridge this morning....





Oh yeah... I'm sure the bridge was there somewhere....




Now this is a view I normally reserve for when i look out of a plane!?!?!?!? Never thought I'd be driving through clouds!!





Cool, huh!! (Don't ask how i managed to take those pics while driving.... pretty sure i was getting a few "Blonde driver" comments from other commuters!!)


One final thing... I need to add to the good, bad and ugly list - MYER!!!


Ooooohhhhh ugly!! First rule of customer service.... if you empty the customers hands... they have free hands to BUY MORE STUFF!!!!


I was sent to three different people, before I was finally allowed to plonk down the stuff I wanted to buy, while i tried on a few other bits and pieces (Notice how they are always happy to take the stuff you don't want as soon as you leave the change room though!?!?!?).... now normally that would just be bad... BUT i really wanted a particular Cue shirt only they didn't have it in my size, and NO one offered to help me, I finally went to the Cue shop itself (who also didn't have the shirt), but they at least told me Myer in the city had the shirt in my size. So Beck (under duress!!) and myself headed there at lunch today, only to find no such shirt on the shelf, they tried to sell me it in all other colors (including some HIDEOUS floral prints ICK!!) before finally conceding they had one in storage, but it would take them 5 mins to get it....15 mins later they finally return, drag me to two different counters, before finally I get to walk away with the shirt. Got home tonight to try it on.... hmmmm... feels a bit heavey....oooohhhh EXCELLENT... they left the security tag on!!!! This seasons fashion accessory must have!! Grrrrrrrr...... did i mention they also canned fly buys!!! NOT HAPPY MYER!!
