early finish

Thursday and the company barbecue. We all got to finish early today, save for a few people. I got to finish 1 hour earlier, just as well really as the drive home was hard to keep awake. The barbecue started at 1pm and the usual raffle tickets were sold. The prizes were a little fewer than last years. I won a $50 gift voucher which is cool. I won last year too. The main prize was a Samsung DV camera which Todd won, bless him, he will be happy with that. Shawn was off again today, in fact he has been off all week. So just Chris, Adam and myself have had the run of the stores.

ANZAC day tomorrow, so yet another early start, just hope the rain holds off for all the people in the parades. Up at the sparrows fart so no rest again. Today, I have been really tired and little motivation. Thankfully we weren’t that busy today. Paperwork is pretty much upto date and stock requisitions have been put in. Just need to see how much of the stock actually gets ordered.

A change in the warehouse has taken place. Shawn is now moving next door into Unit F, we are based in Unit G, so just the aforementioned peeps now reside solely in stoeres. This should be better for Shawn and for us, at least Shawn can concentrate solely on his stock ordering and Purchase orders. This will however add additional paperwork for us as we will now have to raise RQN’s for all stock that we require.

So far so good with the new toys. My only complaint, if you can call it that is the Nokia phone battery doesnt last quite as long as I would hope. Having said that the volume of the stereo speakers is quite loud and having the Bluetooth on won’t help matters either. I have been playing with it for a bit, so I would hope that normal standby should be better.

Laptop is good, very good. As yet I have still to install music software and video software, hopefully, I might get a chance sometime this weekend. The keyboard on this HP is very nice. It seems to have a very short throw on the keys, that is you don’t have to press down or slam down to far to make a keystroke, almost touch sensitive. The hands sit nicely on the body of the thing so your hands don’t have to stretch to far or get scrunched up to type. The numeric keypad addition is nice also, as is the inbuilt video cam on the screen. I have tried the camera and it seems to produce some good images.

Ok, more coffee is required before I goto pick Sam up from the station.
