Life with EPH on a Thursday... Hmmm...
I think this is becoming a habbit, maybe not a good one, but a habbit anyway... I am sitting here typing away like a madman again, Matt is Chomping around madley, Cheekwee is laughing like a man possesed, Yankee we have inducted to the "Way of the EPH", and Big John Bull is keeping us all amused with his stories of Whooo, any way going for a smoke, back in a tick... Right, I'm back, eveyone here thinks the Blogs are great, I just have the urge to write, usually about nothing and without mallice, but just dribbling on to the screen you are reading... This week has been really hectic, this time of the year thing are starting to slow down, but alas, everybody is trying to get all the work done before the end of the year, Bugger, oh well, it gives us something to do before "Beer 'O Clock", I think Yankee will fit in well here, he has the right attatuide and takes it with the best of us, F*cking smart arse, Cheekwee is picking on my spelling... the guy can't even walk a straight line leaning on a wall, he should talk... Now they are all sitting around me eating Chocko Mix, or some sh#t, do you like the way I never sware ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It's so hard not to do, the Auzzie language just needs it to be spoken in random spurts... "Trail Mix" that is what they call it, does that mean it leaves trails or something else ? ? ? ? ? That's enough for now, need to have another smoke, and I can't be F*cked anymore... Bye ffor now... I nearly forgot Sarah (Eyes) wants me to do a shout out to her... HI SARAH.... you little cutie... she is probable blushing by now and will give me a lot of shit about this, I love you Sarah... Xxxxx... Mmwwaa...

Life with EPH...
EPH is not some weird new drug either, some times it feels like it though, it is the place I and a group of others, some you have heard about, others are yet to come, all work at and call our little community of Lemmimgs...
EPH is Eastern Plant Hire, the largest plant hire company in Victoria, Australia, the Owners/Managers are probably the best Bosses I have ever worked for in my life time of "Nose to the grid stone", they are easy to approch and are always willing to help us in any way they can, as for the Staff, most of us are great and all get along really well, with the exception of a few...
In Operations we have Stephen, Operations Manager, Myself, Operations Controller Trucks, Matt, Operations Controller Machines, Shane (Cheekwee), Operations Controller Machines, Leanne (Shudder-Blah), Operations Controller Trucks, Ben, Truck Call-out Boy, Ngoc, Machine Call-out Boy, Peter, Office Manager, and Big John Bull, COD Bloke, (I think)...
Then we go down to Accounts where we have Glenn, Does Something, Aaron, So does he, Sarah (with the eyes), She does stuff too, Natalie (My good Friend), Hmm She works really hard, Ebony, 5 Cougars Thanks, Laura, Sarah's sister (Eyes not as good) and works down there, the newby, Jade, well she actually sits at the front counter and looks pretty...
Then we have the Sales Reps out on the road, Ben, Jay, Wayne, Ron, Craig M, Phul, Jason, Craig W, I think thats all, they come and go so quickly now a days...
And last but by no means least, our ilustrious leaders, Michael, Paul & David...
Thats everone, I hope I haven't forgotten any body, if I have, I'm sorry and will rectify asap, anyway I love working here, my role is challenging every day and keeps you thinking constantly, there is a lot of stress involved, especally when you work with moron's, some people you can not get along with, no matter how much you try, even the sound of there voice grates on your nerves, and the stupid way she talks to her self all day, just like you are talking to a little puppie, "Who's a good girl then, who's a good girl"... it makes me sick just thinking about it, do people out there in the world with a normal I.Q. do shit like this or is it just her lack of "Mental Health", her sexual preferences are questionable as well, as for the "Troll", christ, you might as well have put a ventriliquists dummy in the chair and it would be smarter, he has this hair that is cut short on the sides and longer in the middle, like a mohawk, yet the longer bits are bleached blonde and just lay stupidly on different angles all over his head, not to pass the fact that he is only 150cm or 4'11", hope this paints a pretty picture for you and you can imagine what I have to look at... Blah...
As I said earlier, we all get along pretty well, with a few exceptions, we are like one big family, Sarah is the "Mother Hen", Peter is the "Father Figure", and the rest of us are wild alchcol fueled party machines, well we try to be with the exception of the Mongoloids & Stiffs, who go home to there families and loved ones for Mental Training, or Shock Therapy... It's a great place to work, I really enjoy it and don't want to leave, well not yet anyway, who knows what the future holds for us, now that you have meet everyone i am going to leave for a while, but i'll be back real soon... Xxxxx...

After Work on a Tuesday ? ? ? ? ?
Well, this is now getting weirder... It's Tuesday night at 8:22pm and I am sitting at work typing away like a madman again... It started out with 5 of us sitting on the balcony having a few quite beers after work, Me, Sarah, Matt, Cheekwee and Big John Bull... Anyway we have had quite a few and are a bit scared of driving home, so we are wasting as much time as we can to sober up... Sarah and Cheekwee are out on the balcony now doing what? I can not imagine... Bloody Matt has taken the lap top home, so I wont be able to post more later, so I'll get as much in as I can before I go... It's been a great leaning experiance, getting to know your work collegees in a social manner, Sarah, (the one with the beautiful eyes) is so funny, she makes me laugh and laugh, Matt, well he is just "Matt", John Bull tells the most amazing stories you have ever heard, and Cheekwee, well we are getting there, he is quickly finding out what we are like, I gotta go have a Smoke, See ya all soon... Xxxxx...

After Work on a Friday...
A Quick jump to the present day...
Mat and I are both sitting at our desk's... Me typing away like a madman, he has got out the guitar and is strumming away merrily, we are both in the not normal state of mind and are wired of sound, the sound of the silence as the clouds roll on by and the waves crash all around us on the raft of life, supported only by the two 4 liter oil bottles tied to the planks of wood that form our life saving device of no hope, wonder or style... My head feels like it is on the inside of the guitar and I am looking out through the strings, vibrating in front of my face every now and the catching on my nose and making my eyes wince, my hands now are starting to slip off the keys as they feel like they have been emericed in a jelly of ooze that is so slimy and wet, all the hair that is left on my body is standing on end, every nerve ending zapping with electricity, every pore on my skin opening and closing like a clam, shit, I need another drink and a leak... See ya soon... This will all make sense in the future when you get to know a little more about my different life... Xxxxx... That reminds me, Sarah was in this morning On-Call with me and she wants me to mention her, I will tell you that she has the most beautiful eyes and the cutest face, she really gets embarrassed with complements but I still give them to her... He, he, he...

First, a little about me...
By the way, with any luck I will be posting a new chapter every week...
Well, lets start from the start... I was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Austraia, grew up in the outer suburbs township of Diamond Creek, a small town approx 1 hour from the CBD, just a normal childhood, growing up in a small town where everybody knows everyone, never really got in trouble, probably because of the small town sindrome, local Primary School, Diamond Creek Primary, local High School, Diamond Creek Technical School (Diamo Tech)... But well get to the schooling later... Simple life, slow life, the kind of town that has Kangaroo's jumping down the main street on any given day... In the teenage years, had to go to the next town to get alcohol because the publican new my father and he would for sure let my dad know that we were asking other people to buy it for us, the publican saw my brother and I grow up since we were kids, Bugger... We had a friend in the next town along the rail line, Russell, so he used to come to Diamo and help buy it, we used to go to Hurstbridge and buy it from up there, I think that was the start of my mind failing and becoming the mush that now sloshes between my ears... Got my first pash from Fiona Consitable, local girl who lets say had had a lot of bikes, ask anyone around the town for a bike and they would tell you to go see her for a good ride... Ah, lets be nice, she was a friend and I liked her as that and that only, christ I was only 12 at the time she cornered me in the local chuch toilets, wierd but nice all together... I think that that was the start of my demise, I had found the female form and was intreged by it, I wanted to know more, to see more, to feel more, to explore more, like Captian Cook when he first came across Australia, a hugh unknown land that need people to crawl all over it, in and out of every little crevice, every nook and cranny... They were the unexplored land that I needed to conquer, it was my goal, my ambishion that was to lead me on a conquest of discovery that has taken me all over Australia, every nook and cranny, I have searched, found and conquered many of the challenges that were in front of me, yet there is one that I have been aiming for and have yet to set in to stone, one that I have felt and been totally emerced in yet have never to my knowledge had the same in return... True LOVE... Yes, I have been in love before, twice to be excact, but that is something for future blogs aswell... Back to me and growing up... Didn't like shcool at all, nothing intrested me, could not think of a purpose for all the leaning that I was supposed to be doing or how it would be of any help in the future... Well luck did run my way at school, I got 2 weeks work experience in September of '85, I was almost finished the year, at the end of the 2 weeks, the Boss, who was a friend of the family, asked me if I would like to do a 4 year apprentiship as a Compositor, (go on say it, "What is a Compositor?", for the people who know, well done, I'm proud of you, for the others, LOOK IT UP, you are on the Internet...), anywho, I jumped at the chance, anything to get out of School for the rest of my life sounded great to me, and I would be getting paid for it... Ye Ha... So at the age of 15 I left school and started on the long journey of working for a living, and i must admit it was fun, something different, may you feel kind of important, but do you remeber when you were really young, you had a DREAM, a dream of what would be your ultimate job, happiness and life-style, it will always haunt you, well after 4 years of working at Typographical Services Pty Ltd, I had had enough, it was time to start following my dream, so I left there and got a job as a Storeman at a Hardware Company, REMU Hardware & Building Supplies Pty Ltd, in which it didn't take me long to get on the Bosses good side, so at the age of 19 I was of to get my Truck Licence, I needed a letter from my employer to say that it was a requirment for the position I was in, (normally you had to be 21 to get a Truck Licence), My DREAMS of becoming a Truck Driver were finally coming together... As for my social life, that is another chapter... I will post it over the next week or so, till then take care and type soon... Xxxxx...
