Welcome to my world, sit back, relax and let me entertain you!

I know the title sounds a little lame, but I have really stopped counting days a while ago because time was moving too slow (well it still is quirt frankly xD).

Well some time has passed since my boss had the accident, and news is that he is going to make it! He might have problems doing different activities but he’s gonna make it, and that’s the important!!

I’ve certainly been a lot around on the farm doing different stuff, it seems like the general manager (who is my new boss now) has got a little more control over what he can get us to do (only a little though xD). We have been driving a little more than usual because we’ve been doing manly jobs that required shorter time to finish. Another change (on the past week that is) is that we have been ordered to go single on most of the jobs, reason being the manager thinks we will work faster that way. In my opinion it might be the opposite many of the times, especially when it comes to moving heavy objects or other two-man jobs like putting ventilation fans in!

It has definably got warmer at the farm; it’s just great weather at the moment. During these last 3 nights I’ve actually had my electric blanket turned completely off, it’s great (I’m just thinking back on my first freezing nights right now)! Oh another clear indicator that spring has finally arrived is that we have seen a lot of snakes recently (some really nasty ones),  and returning to the new “one-man” policy, that is another reason why I think we should work in pairs; example: I’m down at China Town (the scrap yard) browsing through some metal scraps, all of a sudden I remove a layer of metal and under is a brown snake (very poisonous) that strikes and bites me, many of the cars don’t have the two-way (similar to walkie-talkie) so I have to drive all the way up to the main office, and they’ll call a helicopter that can fly me to Brisbane, and in the meantime I might as well be dead!… and yes, they don’t have antivenom at the farm strange enough!

Ah just another thing before finishing; remember how I said that people looked a little down at me because I wasn’t so fast, well, it’s more or less over now, I’m working at a good pace and everything seems to be fine, even the Asian guy is being less an asshole now.

Well, that might be it from now; I really don’t want to go into details with what we are doing at the farm because it’s really boring stuff, so let’s just stop it here without making it any longer xD.

Till next time; have a good one

I’ll jump straight into it without making too much of a story out of it! Yesterday my boss got electrocuted at the farm while moving a silo with a crane. What happened was that my boss was on the ground stabilising a silo being moved by a crane; what the crane driver didn’t see was that there were some industrial power lines just over them! The crane hits the line and the massive voltage was transferred from the crane through the silo to my boss! He was transferred with a helicopter to Brisbane hospital in critical condition. He’s arm was popped open, his shoulder was broken, his feet were more or less exploded (he was wearing steel-cap boots) and worst of all, he have had a massive amount of voltage going through his body that could easily have killed him on the spot!!

I pray for my life that he will make it; he is a strong person with heaps of “go-power” so why shouldn’t he!!
