Work medical. As it's a condition of employment I have to drive on my own time140 km return to attend the company designated clinic for a Hearing Test and Spiro/Lung Test.
It could be done about 15 mins away by my local doctor.

Nope. Any other work duties like training, meetings or conferences we get overtime and claims kms or use cabs. But the yearly medical
Is deemed a condition of employment and as such we have cover any travel and time. Just pisses me off we have to do it where they say.

Went to the Brum lastnight for some scoff and to see some live music. My birthday is Friday and my brother paid for my evening. We went for Caribbean food at a place called Turtle Bay which was very good. I think there's one in Stratford upon Avon. Then onto the Glee Club for some live music. The headliner was Gavin James. He was really good, sounded like a cd was playing, not a note wrong to my ear. He was supported by Freya Ridings and James TW. Freya was a really good performance and pretty damn hot, I could have watched her all night, I do love a pretty red-head. James TW sounded whiney to me, not a fan. All in all a good evening.

You don't cope, you just try to survive it without killing someone

Do you 'enjoy' court?? I know you've written that the interviews can be pretty tough.

Sitting at the business lounge at Sydney International waiting to board for NZ. First time back since the epic bike ride.
Jess is all excited and I'm just 'this feels too much like going to work'
