I don't deal directly with builders, thank fully, as most of their macho, dick measuring contest bullshit doesn't fly with me, quite the opposite in fact, you won't get anywhere with me if you're a prick about it. Unfortunately most of my customers deal with that on their client side so it rubs off on them.

More often than not we get a watered down version, I'll cop that, but only to an extent and very rarely do we get positive, even if we've done well, feed back.

I went the extra yard recently with a customer to get them out of a hole, he's just replied with a cracking thank you and a lunch date on offer as a thanks for the work I put in for him. Good to get some positive feedback for a job done well instead of the constant negativity most of the industry suffers from.

He lost his hearing in his right ear, it's quite common for permanent hearing loss with the infection and surgery he had, he had accepted that.

18 months later out of the blue, his hearing came back yesterday afternoon, he went straight to the WCH and they just couldn't believe it.

I might be getting a bit soft in my old age but it chugged on my heart strings all afternoon/evening, even this morning I have a massive lump in my throat and I'm completely overwhelmed.

I'm a very happy man this morning.

Every morning I have to walk across to the other side of the factory to get some paperwork and touch base personally with the shift manager, although there's a lot of faces that have changed over the years and I don't really have much to do with most of the factory employees, it's always nice to get a wave or hand shake along the way, quite often a little bit of banter on the journey too.

I don't get to say it very often but f*** I'm a happy man today.

Thanks fella, I'm looking forward to the move, it's about 6 weeks earlier than I was hoping for so it's going to be a struggle but don't give a flying f***.

I've got my essentials to move in with and worry about other shit later, managed to borrow a trailer for a few weeks so I can just pick up bargains off of Gumtree etc. to complete the furnishings, I'll gradually upgrade as I go along.

Ideally I needed to wait for my tax return as you need 8 weeks rent upfront, 11 in my case as I get paid monthly, start up utility/phone costs plus other sundry things that I have forgotten but that's all irrelevant right now.

I'm actually pretty keen to use my new knife and cooking sets that I bought 6 months ago but haven't used.

I thought about it but it all happened too quick, I went to the open Wednesday arvo and got approved Thursday arvo, it was only Monday I had a run in with where I was living and thought f*** it, just get out of here.

I've already paid the bond etc. now so the horse has bolted, I've just gotta do stuff all for 6 weeks.

I didn't really want to owe anyone money either.
