Isn't it funny.....

Most people who know me know that I have a pretty hot temper, and on more than one occasion losing it has cost me dearly. Along with this, on occasions I also tend to shoot my mouth off, which has also cost me dearly.

Epiphany.

Today at work I don't think I could have been any more angry with my boss. I was at the point where I asked some people who had been there longer than me that if I gave him 2 weeks notice, would he let me stay for the 2 weeks, or just tell me to leave. The answer was the latter. So I decided on a different course....kind of I suppose. I told him (firmly, unfortunately, but civily) that I did not appreciate being in a position where I wasn't entirely trusted, as I had never had to encounter this before. I also told him that I was prepared to take on a lot more responsibility providing he let me do my job, and get the shits with me when I stuffed it up.

He said 'No worries', and gave me a pay rise.......

Go figure.

First Again.

He done it again!!! Future Melbourne Cup winner "Esprit d'Oiseau" stepped up to a Class 1 at Gosford on Sunday, and won again!! It was a little closer than his first victory, but he still won fairly convincingly. So much so that Graeme Rogerson, his trainer, has decided that it's time for him to go to the big smoke!! He is nominated for Rosehill on Saturday (21st), however he probably won't run then, but will be freshened up for a race at Rosehill on June 4. Shelly and I will be there to see him run!! Click here to hear him win his Class 1 at Gosford.

White tail bites a myth? I dont think so....It's a bit blurry, but you get the idea....

Me and 'ED'.

First

G'day.

Welcome to my blog. Future Melbourne Cup winner "Esprit d'Oiseau" won his maiden race at Gosford today. Click here to hear him win. I started cheering for him with about 1000 metres to go, but lost my voice with 200 metres to go. Scared shit out of Cookies and Custard.
