I picked up my hats, and given my team isn't the most branded in the world he asked if I was a fan. I said most people come in and would reach for the yankees/dodgers hats etc and he just laughed.


Jeter? :lol: Retired about 8 years ago, Judge. ;) And he's not leaving.

Eldest daughter's boyfriend messaged me yesterday asking if we could catch up for a beer and a chat before Wednesday and asking for me to not let the daughter know.

Not sure if I should rate this as I was really hoping for a quiet weekend.

Customer just rang to ask if I want to go to the twilight races @ Morphettville this Friday afternoon for a 4 hour drinks package.

I said "I'm not sure, I'll have to ask my boss"

"Already have mate and he said it's fine, we've got your uber there and back covered too"

Guess I'm going to the races Friday.

Nut, but it will still be cheaper than what I'm imagining with their circle of friends and size of their families.

Lightning McQueen wrote:1997 I went out with someone for a little while and later found that she was pregnant.

I tried to help her out once I knew she was pregnant and then beyond, it wasn't a good thing.

I tried for years to go through family court but it cost me a fortune and she never showed up, and I never got to see my son.

I found him on FB about 8 years ago and sent him a message once he turned 18 but to no avail.

He replied this morning wanting to connect.

I basically cannot even function right now, he is doing well for himself and is self employed, I'm a f****** mess.

A bit of an update for anyone that gives a toss.

Caught up with my son a few times but then he moved to Melbourne for work.

He had a bit of a health scare over there and had to move back a few weeks ago to find a diagnosis.

All is well and he has been cleared but he wants to work in a different field.

He is having an interview tomorrow at my place of work.

It's been one hell of a year, just thinking about the extra seat at the Christmas Dinner table makes my whole family a little teary.
