Thermii

Finally I found two small thermos so we are free from the going to a coffee shop. We can go anywhere and have our coffee at the beach and save money. How good, also they fit in the cup containers in the car. Very exciting. It will fit in my golf bag well too. Well we just need the caravan and we can join the grey nomads.
I've been playing a computer game Plants v Zombies but the zombies are winning, they have eaten my brain. I think of good posts but they are zombie food.
We had another drama on our corner today. This corner must be a bit of a magical place well it turns into a creek when it floods and spirits hang around waterways. We have had floods, a big (100 ft) gum got undermined with a broken pipe and it had to be taken down in the middle of the night. It is a natural amphitheater, we can hear what people are saying in the street which is kind of funny. Today we had gale force winds. I did aquarobics in the morning.  The pool has a big tent like cover the gym people and us were watching it shake in the wind. Later in the morning the police were blocking the street cause power lines had come down on the road. Very scarey. 
I'm so tired busy shifts the girl in charge must have run 50 people some twice to find people. Usual problem over census and the people calling in sick, They are talking about having a 10 hr night duty which some people want but most dont. Also most of our staff are part time and only 3 do only nights so its difficult to juggle hours. I dont know how it will work as no one has talked to us. This is another Garling report outcome I think, so imposed from above. Might have to find another job with the hours I want  if it my roster becomes unworkable and the place gets into more of a mess with 6 hr shifts. You are supposed to have a certain no of staff on then you are short for a few hours in a patchwork of hours. Someone goes off at 9pm saying all my ladies are settle ha then they all start buzzing. 
I know its worse in general I read the stories, at least our lot might be alive at the end of the shift but trying telling a mother you haven't got time to help her feed her baby!
