Yarra Trams SNAFU

On the way home on the tram, minding my own business when we come to a standstill between stops. Tram in front of us == teh borken. Ut oh!

To the drivers credit, he kept everyone updated on what was going on – when it became clear that the tram in front of us was not going anywhere in a hurry, he opened the doors to allow those who wanted off to walk up to the next station. Not really keen on the idea of sitting on a tram for an indeterminate period of time, I got off and used the awesome tramTRACKER app to find another way home.

Broken Trams

This story is only mildly entertaining, however I was impressed at how quickly the problem was dealt with .. something you don’t expect from any public transit operator, anywhere, ever.

Fun times.

Neglect!

Been … just a few months since I posted anything here. Didn’t really have much to say I guess!

Summing the last six months up in as few words as possible:

  • Went to CHC on a whim to catch up with a friend
  • Went to HKG to get old and drunk in style
  • Bought my first proper suit while I was there. MM tailored clothing! :D
  • Received a promotion at work – now a trainer/auditor

The last bit is the biggest bit of news – finally have a job with no external customers and generally nice internal ones, so I’m happy about that. Just today I’ve finally been able to move desks .. slightly smaller, but heaps quieter and I even get a bit of window thrown in to the bargain.

Also, I’ve just had a nice little win with American Express – I wanted to “upgrade” my card with them, and expected I would have a bit of a fight on my hands to get what I wanted. Turned out to be v simple; new card should be arriving soon! :)

Hopefully the rest of the week plays out as well as it’s started.
