random ramblings
So a few months back I bought myself a funky little alarm clock with a cd player so that I could wake up to the music of my choosing, no BEEP BEEP crap, no buzzers, no annoying cheesy morning breakfast radio shows, & def no annoying "the blind factoreee" adds either (yes... I listen to Gold ... ok?), just nice calming music to ease me into my day; & it even starts off soflty & gets louder so it doesn't jar you awake. So I've had my old pal Bob Marley waking me up every morning (too bad he's dead hey) & I have to say there's not much else I'd rather wake up to. 'Cept this morning I was so blissed out to the reggae, mon, that I went straight back to sleep ...ooops! though I managed to scrape myself together for work in 10 mins & only ended up being half an hour late ...bad hair day as a result but least I got there! It might have had something to do with the fact that I didn't go to bed till 3am ...but still I'm thinkin I need a change in my wake up tunes ...any suggestions? ... something "nice", nothing too harsh for my delicate morning soul ...but none of that hippy-dippy whale sounds crap either!
In other news, I'm 100% convinced my father's sole purpose on this earth is to make my life difficult ...even when he's 2 cities away! I wanted to do some painting today at work to finish the upstairs area off before I start putting everything back there. But he's hidden the paint (he does the strangest things) & the paint brushes are no-where to be found either (I'm guessing they're with the paint ...but that would make too much sense!) & he's managed to put all the junky crap that we don't need in the space so that in order to bring all the good stuff back in I have to move several items each time in the process ...ARRRRGGGGHHHH! madness I tells you
in other madness, ....I'm pleased to announce the award for "the worst customer service & the most outstanding abilities to cock things up" ....goes to the amazingly inept ANZ bank.
Somehow they managed to stuff up a telegraphic transfer of funds to one of our Indian suppliers that I did online a couple of weeks back & now the supplier is spitting chips & the shipments are delayed ...something we really didn't need right now *GGGGRRRRRRRR* ....& after several phone calls to the ANZ they then insisted that I email them all the information I'd just had to repeat to them several times over on the phone so that they could ensure I was who I said I was ....f'n privacy laws & the rest ....GRRRRRRR ...& still they haven't got back to me. Any other time something slightly odd happens to the acocunt they ring me at all hours of the day/night to ask me if the transactions are ok (they're very suspicious of those there Indyins!) & now that something actually has gone wrong I don't hear boo from them. Anyone know of any decent/good/helpful banking institutions for business banking?
here ...have some pics of my coot furry wurries
Noodle sleeping in my bed with his tongue out
Noodle waking up with his tongue out!
Benny doing a fine Noodle impression ..."I can stick my tongue out too mum!"
Jasper ...da cool cat
"look mum, no ears!"
Chiara rollin about
it's fluffy lurve!
As you may have noticed I've had a bit of spare time on my hands lately ...& it's been really kinda nice.
Peace out, mon
