Sorted

I did it. Was a lot easier than I thought.



Quite an eventful weekend.. I left home on sat morning planning on surfin, workin, sayin bye to the boys, havin a few at coolie hotel and some other gaff all in 1 go. That involved goin down to my car loaded with gear.. maybe a bit too loaded.. the first little disaster was forgettin my goin out shoes on the car's roof n driving off, hehe had to go out on my workin shoes. That didn't matter though, I got shitty when I reached for my keys in the pocket n found nothing. They were gone, except for the car one for some reason.



I didn't dwell on it much, instead I just got hammered n crashed at the boys in Coolie since I wasn't gonna drive home anyway. Can't remember much but I bet it was a good nite. Pretty hung over on Sunday morning, woke up to Greenmount accusing a considerable reaction with the arrival of the predicted southerly swell. It would surely be going off down south. But my watch bluntly sent me back to the reality of havin to be at work in an hour. I spent my free minutes going through that pad for the last time, hehe them boys left it messy as hell! Pretty funny, there was a pot of old pasta on the bench for a week! And the sink had the biggest pile of shit, whatever u needed to use u had to wash it first, haha even a glass! They donated the bong, tents, books and heaps of miscellaneous dopey gear to their neighbours b4 they left, even I got a legrope n a book. Anyway, we left the house and I took off to work, another shit day, only fun part was when they finally did the draw for that tow in ski. Steph Gilmore handed it to some larrikin mid aged bloke who was playin at the TAB while everyone else was biting their nails waiting to see if they were gonna be the winner haha.. It was also the last day of quite a fraction of the crew there. I decided it was a good nite for me to give my 2 weeks notice, and when I did my boss told me he couldn't believe how much I managed to hang in there lol



Anyway, it was all good, no hard feelings at all, the outcome was surprisingly perfect, he said I didn't need to show up for the next week if I didn't want, although Ill still get my notice week, holidays and days in lieu looked after. My whole life was sorted within 20 minutes.. I never thought it woulda been that easy!



I caught myself cheering but still without my key. Only after callin my mate Roger and going over to his for the nite, the key resurfaced out of the blue. Everything was sweet then! Just went home n planned what to do with this free week while I still have no roomies.



Today was sick, got the best new board, with the best tail pad and best fins. Took it to D-bah straight away, was goin off, quite sizey, all rippin mofo's out there.. Fanning, hazza.. the board didn't go that well ay.. it's got heaps more volume than my last one.. changed from 5'10x18"'2"1/16 to 6'x18"1/4x2"3/16. It doesn't even make much sense, hehe will see how I go, might hand it back if it doesn't work out..


Anyway, it's been good to not have any responsibilities whatsoever.. no work, no flatmates, no girlfriend. It's only me, my balls and my new board lol. So yeah, give us a call, it gets boring sometimes..

cheerio
