RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day agoSadly no winding down for me, I get to just keep working as normal (but better paid, yay penalty rates!) The weather is planning to cool down a bit again though which is a bit of a bonus and hopefully it means work won’t be too busy. If people can just keep their bbqs and spit roasts under control and not run into things in their cars it should be a fairly relaxed day (and it’s casual dress so I get to wear my Christmas t-shirt and antlers).

Some silver linings at least.
I’m guessing you work in emergency services?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Yes, and people just won’t stop having emergencies so we can shut down for the day. A bit rude really, how hard is it to have just one day without trying to kill yourself? But no, it’s all ‘I’ll just throw this petol on the bbq to get it going’ or ‘I’m fine carving the turkey after half a bottle of wine’.

My favourite is ‘These fireworks didn’t go off, lets go in for a closer look…face first of course’
Glad there’s people like you who answer these calls, shake their head, and carry on.
