what a lazy bunch of good for nothing boring old pack of stinky cnts at my work. I work with a majority of older male old fashioned deadwood pieces of shit, there is no office sweep, nothing! the good for nothing fukers!

I had the day off yesterday and the cnts haven't organised a thing. no office drinks/sweep/afternoon tea nothing. grrr I'm so angry, all the fukn old men here leave it for the girls to do. And i am refusing to do it because of the principal of it. I'm a professional, not a fun team activity organiser! I will not organise all of the team activities all of the time! I'm not paid for that!

I organise all of the fun things here, and getting Fukn sick of it. someone else can use their initiative

so theres my rant to Melbourne cup

fuck it I'm going to the pub

Hope your not claustrophobic, madness every cup day, then there's all the people that only bet once a year... can't fill out tickets, put them in upside down, picking scratched horses, etc.

woohoo! I was going to put $20 on Mahler. I didn't, but he didn't win anyway...

So I guess I'm up $20 for this Melbourne cup. You might even say I won $20. Yay.

I drew Efficient in the $2 sweep at work...netted me $20...

Nothing compared to the other bastards at work who put in a trifecta, before I got there, I would've gone in for sure, I'm no gambler but I make an exception for special events, such as big powerball jackpots and Cups.

They pulled the trifecta out their ass and won 1500 smackers! So for $20 they all got 150 back...

doin fuck all at work, yay!

Every year, it's always very quiet on the day. Seems Westpac and their customers all take the day off for Melbourne Cup. Having said that, the next day is always busy as because of it.

Didn't win anything in the work sweep, fucking cunts.

My old man told me to put money down on Efficient 2 days before the cup...Fuck I wish I had listened, it was paying at 22 to 1

I put $2 each way on Efficient... my reasoning behind it was that it reminded me of Peachey! Got $57 for my efforts which I was happy with. Almost paid for my day out.  icon_biggrin

Paul was tellin me you guys get this off as a national holiday, and then I found out you guys have 10 bank holidays a year too???

Nah only Melbourne gets this day off. We make it up for it however by getting our own Adelaide Cup Day off in May or some such.
