    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 . 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

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

    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.
    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...).
