Last day of daylight saving for 6 months.

Last day of daylight saving for 6 months.

Thanks for the reminder. Back to normality.

Pity those who are on call overnight. Most awards don’t pay extra for the 2am extra. Nor do they pay less for the 1 hour less in 6 months time

And the excuses used by those who are late for work on Tuesday carry little weight

That's 2 changes in 2 weeks!

If you count March 11th (USA) as well, it's three changes in three weeks ...

Have just been working on two of our BAS accounts so that I can use the Westpac Amex before that Amex card is no longer.

I question where we are as a country. Our PM grandstands in the press re the cricket and from my prior listening to him, I believe he has limited knowledge of the game. Today hidden away in the press is an update of the Storm Financial debacle. I doubt the press will approach the PM (he has a strong background in finance) for comment and I doubt the PM will call a press conference to give an opinion. Obviously I am not privy to all info of the case but I wonder what you have to do to incur the max fine
Storm Financial heads fined $70,000 each

I am absolutely astonished how Manny (Cassimatis) got off so lightly.
Mind you, what isn’t widely known is that quite a number of other groups indulged in the same methods , and furthermore it was a Colonial Margin lending template. I was encouraged to follow the same format. Needless to say, I saw it as way too risky.

At a coffee shop last week I saw a bloke wearing a QF J pj top. Not a good look.

I was lunching with a colleague in Milton, and two people walked by , both were wearing the grey QF PJ’s. Shock horror!!!

 

[Denali]

Both is a bit much.

I don’t like even being seen on a plane with them on

Can understand being late the next day after time changes but late 3 days later?

But no one should be late after Easter DS adjustment as the clocks are turned back.

How was the US serfty?

Sunny in Miami, Denver & Los Angeles.

Snowing in Chicago and Charlotte (the latter was much to the surprise of the locals).

It rained in San Jose ... but I did like the us$2.50 fares for the tram downtown to/from the airport.

Snowing in ... Charlotte (the latter was much to the surprise of the locals).

They shouldn’t have been because in December or January their southern neighbour Charleston SC had snow.

I think that snow surprised those in Charleston back then as well.

(Snow had been forecast for the the NE USA (lots) ~Mar 14, but not in SC.)

What’s to do in Charlotte?
