After having 10 days off to travel across to the West Coast, up the Googs Track, then up to the Northern Territory Border, across to Finke and then down the Oodnadatta Track to the Flinders (4200 km) it was hard to have to go back to work today.
Today wasn’t going to be anything special but it took a lot longer today to get to work with the Freeway shut down due to a truck crash and a water main burst on Fullarton Road shutting down most roads into the City.
After clearing out the backlog of emails, I was asked to attend some eProcurement training at Westpac House. At least the walk got me out of the office.
Took some photos of the two building projects. The car park to the north is now complete and the Police HQ behind the Fire Station is still heading upward.
Even though I am the keeper of the On-Call Roster, I still have to do my bit and this week coming is my time. This means being on-call 24/7 for a week and attending any 2nd Alarm incidents in the Metropolitan area (80km x 25km). Grabbed my turnout gear from the dry cleaning locker and I am now ready to go.
Tomorrow I am off to Port Lincoln to do some groundwork for an Operational Exercise to be held in November, so of course I checked to see where all the caches are in case I get some downtime during the day.
Then back home with still traffic chaos due to the Freeway still shut down due to the truck accident – there was a fatality so it may be shut for a while.
Finished up with Molly as always waiting patiently for any scraps that may “fall” from the table during tea.
