I love my job. Totally love it.

I had a shoulder decompression on December 13 2007. I wasn’t anticipating getting back to work until at least the middle/end of February.

I spent almost 3 weeks in Adelaide recuperating at my Mum’s house .. eat drink rest eat drink rest etc …

Get back home and the boss rings … can you use your arm yet?????

Sure boss … what do you need?

So I”m back into it.

Today a big huge old gum tree fell apart. It’s one of those rather significant trees that the Aborigines used in their corrabories (spell that for me). Get a photo of that he says.

So off I trot, all eager and stuff. I spoke to the gentlemen who lives accross the road and he warned me that there was a very large swarm of very very angry bees that lived in that tree and their hive is now all over the place … be careful he said. Sure I’ll be careful.

I walk around the tree keeping at least 10 feet away … click click … no bees …

Keep walking around more clicking … get closer … still no bees …

hum bug … bees schmeeeez

I walk around to where the best angle is and get in 3 feet away … bzzz bzzzzztt bzzzzzzzzzzzztttttttt bzzzzzzzzztttttttttttttzskdl;aaaaaaaaaaaasds()&@#)(#x%x%)(&)(&)()(Sx%x)DGS(&)(

I really hope nobody got a photo of me running down the street with arms and legs waving all over trying to swat away annoyed bees. I made it to the car alive and one bee made it inside. I talked to it nicely and it left me alone.

I love my job.

I really do :) x

    Shit a brick! Once again I have to wipe my screen clean of the hot tea I just snorted out my nose, (note to self: no hot drinks whilst perusing RB)...guess it’s a good way to clear the ol sinuses though.
    Girl, what the heck are you doing back at work already!! Does your boss pay you danger money?
    Must admit, this was funny but.

    Made me Larf!!!!! I used to keep bees. Absent mindedly leaving a beesuit zip partially undone can be a problem. With a bee or two flying around inside ones face veil well…there is no where to run!!!!!
