asmith Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 OK guys I need to put it out there for the sake of the office. To put it mildly today is not a good day in Brisbane, 14 degrees and raining, Rob has started a fire on the deck to keep warm, hell I am even demanding my money back from the slogan "Queensland Beautiful one day Perfect the next," Except for today its crap. So on top of all of this Diana has received a couple of emails from clients telling her they are off to either one of the following sunny destinations, Hawaii, Tahiti, Bahamas. Then to add to it the panel beater next door to the office dropped in to say good-bye he and the wife are off sailing around Thailand for the next two weeks. Poor Di just snapped demanded some sunshine. So guys and girls please don't mention in any emails today that you are sipping margaritas on a tropical beach, for the sake of a happy office. Have a great weekend guys.
MIKA27 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Ok well if it makes you feel any better Di, its fricken freezing down here in Melbourne and I too am not really impressed hearing that a colleague is heading off to Hawaii tomorrow for 2 weeks!
WarriorPrincess Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 So sad So sad but true.... Hawaii Tahiti Bahamas what is a girl to do...but look out the window and see grey skies, rain and wind to remind me all day long. Then you have Rob walking in looking like he is frozen, jacket on cursing and mumbling something about how cold it is up there. All I can say is, you are sitting on the deck on top of the building in this weather with nothing blocking the wind and rain and a little fan heater working overtime trying to warm you, hence why the red wine comes out earlier than normal Another day in the office Have a great weekend to all
WarriorPrincess Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Ok well if it makes you feel any better Di, its fricken freezing down here in Melbourne and I too am not really impressed hearing that a colleague is heading off to Hawaii tomorrow for 2 weeks! Thanks for the advance warning for when we come down in 3 weeks time for the get together... I might have to start drinking red wine, that will make Ken happy
CaptainQuintero Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Damn 14c would be nice! It's nearly June here and it hasn't stopped raining sideways since May 2010! Di you need to stage a sit down protest and start playing pass the parcel..with shots of wine, get Ken to come round with the music, Rob can get the BBQ going, Smithy can go fetch his stormtrooper outfit and insurance will cover the fallout!

Danston Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Just to support the Captains summary its midsummer here in England and the weather is as usual rather disappointing, im off to the cricket tomorrow and doubt there will be a great deal of play, so i will have to make do with a pub so stop moaning you lot
khamy Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Smithy, this thread looks suspiciously like a big red flag flapping in the wind in front of a couple young bucking bulls.
asmith Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Just so we are clear, I am not pointing out that it is really cold or worse than anywhere else, I know Melbourne is colder at the moment and England is.... well England. The problem is we live in Brisbane which is meant to be perfect winter weather here and that is not what today is.

Time to crack the emergency rations Smithy, break into the Pres's secret stash, he'll never notice
Ken Gargett Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 D, the good news is that i am bringing around some 20 or so pissed rugby fans about 5ish. some from england. this is nirvana for them. they won't care about the weather by then, and nor might i (keith, i'm on the jar asap tomorrow i swear). stock up!
stogieluver Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I'm sure all of that is true. Cold and miserable. But I just know that the sight of Di in those smashing heels warms the heart and the soul. Hang in there Di. You are loved and secretly admired all over the world!
CaptainQuintero Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 There you go Ken to the rescue! Start the BBQ up!!

Colt45 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 As Uncle Chop-Chop might say - havin' a whinge, havin' a sook, havin' a cry..........
asmith Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Good one guys, Di has just walked out. It seems that we have perfect weather here compared to the rest of the world. I am sorry for putting this post up as everybody has pretty much emailed Di and told her how hard and crap it is where they are and we should be pleased with a little bit of rain. No more emails, please.
Fuzz AI Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Di, time for an office makeover.... first crank up the heater to maximum, buy a few sun lamps, get some potted palm trees, grab Rob's hammock from upstairs and hang in on the potted palms, switch out Rob's Air Supply CD from the hi-fi and pop in a Jamaican steel drum album, hire a Cabana boy, then ask Smithy to truck in a few tons of beach sand. Now you have an office in the tropics!!
Patric M Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 LOL your all welcome to come to Canada any day in the winter... you can all stay in my igloo and use my dog sled. Heck. I'll even cover the thermal underwear. It's a real experience when your lips freeze to your cigar when you try and take a puff, or you nostrils freeze shut when you sniff really hard... Don't even get me started about the piss freezing before it leaves your lil solder when you try and go out side. Nothing says winter like pissing some ice!
WarriorPrincess Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 ok ok i get the hint there are places colder than Brisbane and i haven't left the building as it is to cold (for Brisbane winter) to. So now I am having a nice glass of wine on a Friday afternoon at 5.30pm still doing orders and dreaming of the a beach, sand and being served cold glasses of wine
Fuzz AI Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Ask Rob to get you a Snuggy. Oh so stylish for wearing around the office!!
CanuckSARTech Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Just so we are clear, I am not pointing out that it is really cold or worse than anywhere else, I know Melbourne is colder at the moment and England is.... well England. The problem is we live in Brisbane which is meant to be perfect winter weather here and that is not what today is. I could only WISH for a 14 degree Celsius winter day!!!!!
