A semi interesting day !!

Today i had to start work at 6am , as per usual i set my alarm for 5am , but low and behold my mum decides to come to wake me up at 4:45am , with about a total of about 4 hours sleep , i drag my self off to work.

I was dreading getting in there and having to unload a 20 ft container of 10kg boxes , but to my pleasant surprise the container was switched to thursday morning (a day i'm not working), instead i spent about 6 hours opening and unsealing Thomas the tank engine tents from boxes of four , and with aprox 250 cartons , lets just say my fingers are a bit battered and bruised (and blistered) , but still a relitively easy day of work.

I finished work at about 2:30pm , got home in a rush to clean myself up so as i could go to the local Harvey Norman in Nunawading to go see the Australian Kangaroos Rugby league team , when i got there at about 3:45pm there was already about 50 people waiting inline for autographs from the team members which were expected to make there appearance at about 4pm , they didn't arrive til 4:40pm to the dismay of all the supporters waiting there for close to an hour , and the line had increase by about 5 times what it originally was.

Luckily Mario 'Falcon' Fenech was the MC for the team appearance , he kept the crowd marginlly happy , signing autographs and posing for photos , he was quiet a larrikin , anyway when i got to the front to get my poster signed by all the players i got some of my Favorite Melbourne Storm Autographs (Matt King, Cam Smith, Greg Inglis and Antonio Kaufusi) and most of the rest of the players were quite nice when they signed your poster , but when i got about halfway down Some Broncos Players Gave me a bit of jibe (mainly Shaun Berrigan and Sam Thaiday) , they made a comment about Melbourne Making the Grand final and losing it to their team , meanwhile Petero Civonaceva (sp?) just sat there and smiled while they made the comments , and as i passed Thaiday he said "wow , Storm guernseys must be cheap here in melbourne, everyone seems to have one" then i quickly turned and replied with "you can't put a price on quality , and thats what the storm are" , althought i know they were just having a bit of fun , it riled me up a bit but it was all good.

Well that was my day , thats all there is , there isn't anymore.
