Working Aussie Day?

Josh L · 26-01-2008, 10:10 AM

Hello All,

Just wondering who has the slight misfortune of having to work today or even on Monday (public holiday)?

I am working today, 7am - 7pm and then i'm working Monday from 7pm - 7am Tues.

Ah well... wish I wasn't working tomorrow as well... I would go home and sink plenty tonight.

MITCHAY · 26-01-2008, 10:20 AM

I'm working at 10am today and then have until Wednesday off

Happy Birthday

I did'nt have to work but got volunteered to fix a mates car, easier to do it at work rather than crawling around on his driveway.

Yeah mate working today, but it's my own business - but I'll be having a few beers and a bbq tonite. Proud to be Australian

I worked 2 years ago on Australia day puting up some steel work for a carpark for a shopping centre in Darwin CBD.

A Commodore rocked up and a guy yelled out " Ya F*cken Wogs!"

Hehe so proud to be an Aussie.

Riksta · 26-01-2008, 01:49 PM

I work a Mon-Fri office job, but we've been pulling a couple of Saturdays to catch up on a heap of work, so working today 8am-4pm.

The car is in the carpark outside fully decked with Aussie Flags (see the Aussie Pride thread in Show'N'Shine) ready for a bit of cruising after work

hambo_12 · 26-01-2008, 03:30 PM

Working today, 5:30am till 8:30pm. Absolute dog of a shift...

They way I am looking at it is im here making money rather than at the Aus day races losing it...(I still know which is more fun though ;) )

Mack 6 · 26-01-2008, 03:35 PM

been working 11pm til 8 am for the last few mornings, including this morning up until monday. Luckily i finish monday 8am and swap to arvo shifts on tues at 3pm. Gives me time to sleep, recover, attend aust day/engagment party, then recover from that too.
Gotta love a 24Hr roster

XBCoupeGuy · 26-01-2008, 05:45 PM

I was working down in Adelaide.

We had a Hornet doing a flypast for Australia Day too so I had to be in to make sure it was ready to go (that's my job).
Hopefully some of you were at the cricket and saw it zoom past.
I spoke to the pilot when he got back and asked him if there was a decent crowd at the cricket.
His response was "F#@k knows - I was too busy trying to miss the cathedral" lol

250 feet, 550 knots through the centre of the city (below building height). Straight down King William Street and King William Road straight past Adelaide Oval. Would have been good to be there.

Did anyone see it.
