Chrissy is Dead

Posted by Dave

Chrissys last day at QM on friday 30/03/07. It was a very sad day. To celebrate we all went out for beers after work at the "Rumpus Room".

It was an excellent turnout, with people from all departments coming to say their goodbyes to Chrissy! Would have been nice if we could have got a decent bartab to kick things along a bit, but at the Factory we dont like to spend money unless its on something that will benefit the factory.

It was also Michaelas last day and K2 (not anymore I spose), Kyles 3rd last day too.

Some friends of QM also came along to say their goodbyes, including Vicki, Ani, Mikey, Rob, Missy D, and we got to know some new QM'ers that little bit better. Elliot seems to be a good QM fit already!

Everyone had a great time drinking at West End before the nite got a bit fractured as groups moved off to different locations. Steves and Me ended up going into the valley (Empire) quite early, which was probably a mistake as the Empire was pretty dead, and I kept drinking when I should have been slowing down. This combined with not quite being over my flu ended my nite prematurely (much to petals pleasure).

I dont actually remember what happened, KC was up dancing, I think Chrissy and Danae were there, and all of a sudden I was home after riding on the magical beer scooter!

It was a good nite, a shame it didnt go a bit longer, but as Camilla says, we will still continue to see Chrissy lots more anyway.

I was a little sad too, as although Chrissy is king mega jerk face a lot of the time and makes me so angry I want to hit him sometimes hes quite awesome, funny and fun to work with. I will miss him.

Chris is dead.

Dave's track of the week

Coburn - We Interrupt This Programme

Listen Now

Classic Argument #34237 - Vacuum Cleaners

who is right?

ok, me vs wifey

the settings on the main attachment of a vacuum cleaner
one has the brush out, one has the brush in

i always vacuum like this, flat floor (ie not carpet) i use the setting without the brush out (ie the flat setting on the attachment head)

if its carpet, i use the little setting that looks like carpet, and the brush is out

apparently this is all wrong and i dont know vacuuming

Dave and his gangsters.

Dave: 1, Main Roads: 0 (still)

On the weekend Dave was driving his skyline to church and apparently the council had recently painted the line markings on the road which somehow flicked up into the tire well:

So Dave the sent main roads a letter:

To: www.feedback@mainroads.qld.gov.au
From: Dave 'e-thug' Broughton
Subject: a big thanks

For leaving wet line markings on the road between Salisbury and Musgrave road behind Suncorp stadium.

My car picked up all the white paint and flicked all down the side of my car.

Lucky it came off.

Fax: (07) 3013 5070
E-mail: dave.broughton@qmtechnologies.com

Then they reply:

Thank you for your email.
To establish the appropriate office in which to forward your email to, would you please clarify :
* if Salisbury is the suburb or a road within the area in which you describe?
* Did you travel from Salisbury to Musgrave Road?
* Were the line markings behind the Suncorp Stadium?

The area behind the Suncorp Stadium and Musgrave Road are not state-controlled and the Department of Main Roads is not the responsible agency.
You should direct your email to Brisbane City Council at www.brisbane.qld.gov.

Dave's nice double spaced reply:

It looks like there was fresh line markings on Marshall rd on the Salisbury (suburb) side of the freeway.

I noticed them yesterday afternoon when I was retracing my steps.

I didnt notice any signs for fresh line markings anywhere on the trip, nor the next day.

The route i travelled was Orange grove rd into Marshall rd into holland park (steculia avenue into dunrod st)

Then back down orange grove rd to annerley via ekebin rd, then from there onto ipswich rd and then on to the freeway at julliette st

then inner city bypass to hale and musgrave at a church where i noticed the paint.

i have cleaned most of the paint off.

have attached pix of the mess it made.

Dave

A lady from Main Roads then called Dave up because she couldnt understand his email. Dave sure was embarrassed.
