I'm a lazy shitbird at heart

My vacation is being pushed back by five days and I have to go to New York
-
Yeah I'm crushed. I get to go home for a day so I guess there are silver linings. Then begins the summer of cats, sleep, and video games.

What kind of monsters do you work for @Filthy?–-seriously, you work 12 hour days, since the beginning of the year, and they cant even give you the time off that you requested?
The money must be fantastic

I don't do bad for a college dropout ex-homeless person
We don't have enough employees because the work is always seasonal. I am extremely grateful for my job. I will still get plenty of time off. Just not as soon as I wanted.

Quarantine support officer? what is that? code for Big Brother
I would have done a quick head fake, then shoulder rolled my way right outta there!! -
Whilst en route to visit friends this afternoon, my partner said, "Can we take a detour to Paradise Falls?"
We get there, and only have 50 km left on the trip computer, so we do not get to see the waterfall. There is a petrol station just down the road, but it closes at 3 pm, this is rural Australia, so we rush down there but find it all shuttered.
At that point the car tells me it has 33 km range left, and the nearest fuel is 56 km away. I head off, put the car into fifth gear, and roll on with low revs at 70 km/h for a very tense trip. I figure worst case, we run out, and we get our friend to do a mercy dash to rescue us with a can of petrol.
Somehow we make it, on vapours! :o

Quarantine support officer? what is that? code for Big Brother
I would have done a quick head fake, then shoulder rolled my way right outta there!!Big brother or not, it made a hard point with me. I will not be taking the piss.
The conundrum now is that our PCR test kits were delivered to the office. It's about 300 yards from here and I will meet no one on the way over, nor will there be anyone in the office. Technically by going to pick them up, I am in breach of the self isolation rules and a £10K fine :o
-
That is indeed a hard number.
They don't make life easy do they? -
@Graeme you haven't lived until you roll on with the dash showing 0kms.
but there's usually enough to go about another 50kms more anyway.

WOW. I have just had a "Quarantine Support Officer" turn up at the house and request photo ID to check that I was self-isolating upon my return from Portugal….
I just received a phone call from the "Track & Trace" team. Checking that I was doing all the right things…..
Her - "Are you aware that you may be visited by one of our team to check that you are at the address you said you would be self-isolating at?"
Me - "Yes, already had a visit"
Her - "Wow, that is the first time I've ever heard that happen"Whatever I have done in the past is now catching up on me
