If my bank account doesn't recieve a xmas boost I think I'll be looking for work during my time off. Might be time to cash in on the natural resources boom in WA.

Just what we need, another Eastener stealing our money :roll: :p

You need us, because you Western Australians are lacking the skills required for these big projects. :-"

It's not much of a 'bonus' if you expect it every year.

Well its a bonus in consideration to the normal amount he gets.

It's a 'bonus' when I don't have any income during the 2 weeks over the xmas & new years period.

You earn a pretty fat paycheck the rest of the year though, don't you?

I wish. If I was working in Melbourne I'd be earning a substantial amount more. I could earn over triple my wage working at one of the power stations signing people in and out of boilers while sitting on a chair watching tv.

Christmas just feels like any other day now.

This. It still doesn't even feel like Christmas, and I'm sitting right by the Christmas tree and eating a candycane.

I just woke up and I'm lying in bed :lol: Yesterday felt like Christmas, had a bunch of family and friends over etc.

I haven't had a christmas day off since I was 16. To me, it IS any other day.

I wish I was a lil kid again and Xmas was so incredibly super-exciting.

Not sure what the world is coming to when you need approval at Coles to buy plastic cutlery. Looks like this will put a halt to all the U18's holding up convenience stores armed with plastic knifes.

Only in Moe.

We went to make Mojitos yesterday...went to Safeway and bought rub. But forgot to get limes because they didn't have any mint. Then went to Coles to get mint...and for some reason forgot limes. Went back to safeway to get limes...and forgot to get ice. Went to 7/11 to get ice...and finally made mojitos.

What to do
Go to a party with mates and get wasted with my mates and little to no single girls
Go to another party with acquaintances with more girls but most of the people that are there are fuckwits
Stay at home

Not option 3, which is what I will be doing. :(

Sounds like a decent dilemma.

Option 1.
If you go option 2 and don't score you'll be spewing :P

Depends entirely on how confident you are on picking up.

I'd recommend going with the former.

I'll be doing option 3. I'm going to the Hopma Cup tennis on Sunday morning, so I can't really go to any parties....and just like last yeah, I'll be staying home.

Get loose, choose the one which will be the most fun

I'll be staying home too, like I have every other year.

I am usually asleep by midnight.

Awake this year though, only because United are playing at midnight :lol:

Am taking the mrs into the City though for a dinner and the 9pm fireworks. Making sure I am back before United kick off though:lol:

Jeebus you people are boring.

Not my fault. No parties that i have been invited to/would want to go to and my parents are anti-social.

+1. Not entirely my fault I'm stuck at home on NYE again.

I'm not into partying.

I thought I was going to be restricted to staying home with family but my Uncle is going out somewhere so I'm going with him \:d/

You're not really old enough to go out on your own partying yet either. I'm aware of how condescending that could sound too. Don't mean it like that.

I didn't really used to be. Occasional house parties n shit was all I did.

I see what you mean. at the same time though, I know of many people who are often at open house parties whom are also the same age as me.
