Easter Long Weekend?

[Vector Prime]

Just wondering what people are doing for the Easter long weekend? Going away? Working?

I'm working straight through (except Good Friday)... sucks monumentally, but oh well, that's my industry for you.

Man I hate that, where is Australia's Priorities? :confused:
Nobody works on a day celebrating an Unconfirmed Event and yet the day for celebrating those who gave their lives for us in a Confirmed Event - It's just business as usual? :mad:
I find it rather insulting, especially having a relative buried in France...


Anyhoo,
My weekend will be spent like every other weekend, doing not a whole heap but I will have a visit from 1AZRAEL1 which will probably be the highlight. :D

[Golden Phoenix]

I have no plans. Getting paid for 3/5 days of the weekend though
WIN!

[mknell]

Nothing for the actual weekend apart from going to the Footy to see my Eels get smashed, then off to Japan on Monday :)

[Sky Shadow]

I'll be doing what I do every year - worshipping Ēastre, the pagan fertility goddess by nailing up a bearded guy to the wooden cross in my back yard as a virgin sacrifice.

(Actually I'm working a 47-hour shift until Monday. I do get to sleep though - I'm only on call between 8pm and 9am tonight and tomorrow night.)

[kup]

Taking it easy, just relaxing. My new job although technically better than my previous one, requires me to work longer hours so I am taking advantage of the long weekend to unwind.

Easter is a big weekend in ulladulla. We have a parade and a religious festival where the local priest blesses the local fishing fleet. So coming from a fishing family we are involved in that. Also my brother in law is down so I finally get to meet my niece Evie

I've been tidying the room, garage, hallway and storage shed. I got Transformers and other toys everywhere here that need to be sorted.

After the usual religious obligations, I am just going to be stuck at home working on 1 of 4 Uni assignments due in the next couple of weeks :(

Managed to avoid being rostered on for work on good friday and easter saturday (1st time in about 5 years), and am working Sunday and monday.

Yet on both my days off, I have had to go into work for emergency calls. Crazy.

I had a good day yesterday, planting some new plants in the garden and making some chocolate yummies!:D

What kind of work do you do? I'm in IT, so when I'm on-call, they give me a remote login account and I can do the work from home if called.

Did you end up buying any figures?

[jazzcomp]

Sadly my missus has to work Friday to Tuesday. At least I got to have Thursday off with her to see Rio. Went to Wollongong to visit family and see Thor Saturday, and a brief stopover at Hursticon's :p. Stayed up till after 1am playing Texas Hold 'Em, was fun because I didn't lose all my chips first lol. Visited Hursticon Sunday morning for another brief stay, went to family Lunch at my Aunties place, left a bit after 2pm, finally got home after 5.30 (gotta love trains) Went to shops at 1pm Monday (as mine didn't open till 1) bought some food and relaxed the rest of the day. Back at work today, so yay for me.

No such luck for me, I am a cinema projectionist, so it's all in and fix up. Plus the second call out was becuase they had locked the keys of the projection room IN the projection room.

I am not even supposed top be on call either, the guy above me is. I do make them pay me through the nose for these things when they happen:D

I guess living within 10 min drive to work is a bad thing at times:rolleyes:

So you should - they shouldn' take your service for granted. :)

Spent most of my weekend finally playing 4 of my 5 TFs boardgames (some are 4 years old, some are a little older) with Christalcase, and hosting Kristofferrer who was up from Sydney for the weekend. Plus, made some TFs themed Easter chocolates, using the various allegiance symbols pressed into the plastic toy bubbles (fill the symbol with one colour chocolate, then chill it to set, and cover it with the other colour chocolate, creating a button of chocolate with one of four allegiance symbols - Autobot, Decepticon, Maximal, Predacon)

On Friday Christalcase beat me at one of the 80s TFs boardgames that plays like snakes & ladders.
On Saturday Kristofferrer and his GF came around for a couple hours, with one drooling and the other not looking too impressed at all the drooling. :p
Then on the Tuesday, I had to get my revenge on Christalcase, and managed to win all 3 TFs boardgames (one was another 80s game, the 2007 Risk game, and the 2007 Stratego game).
Risk was probably the most interesting, but the most complex with 20 pages of rules...
Just got my TFs monopoly game left to play to have finally used all my current TFs boardgames (after all these years owning them...).

you should make a short photo diary of that, I'd love to see how it came out.
