I was in Aldi today and noticed 200 watt solar blankets for $229 in case anyone is interested. I thought it was a good price.

Well listening to the traffic reports daily, accidents on the monash, tunnel blocked by a truck, police incident, I've never heard a traffic report during day/evening that wasnt ****ed up... could add 10 mins or infinity hours.
Oh then theres 150 odd people on site and 40 parking spots... no fuks given by management who have one of the 40.
You spend 60 million building a new facility and give 0 thought to staff.

Up there for thinkin'......

That shouldn't bother you, you're resourceful in a devious way.  :angel:

Just saw this on FacePlant: https://www.facebook.com/groups/637556563102391/

If the link doesn't work:

"The green dot initiative was started by road safety advocate and truck driver Rod Hannifey, who was trying to find a safe place to pull over  - but by the time he found a safe place to do so, he had already passed it.
“Rod came up with this dot idea which gives you a little bit of a warning of an area coming up, where you can pull over safely,”.
3 X Green reflective dots indicates in approximately 500 metres there should be a safe space to pull off the road.
2 X Green reflective dots, indicates in approximately 250 metres there should be a safe space to pull off the road.
1 X Green reflective dot is positioned just before the safe space that you can pull off the road.
These green dots can be found more and more on the New South Wales and Queensland roads, they are not limited to just trucks, motorhomes or car and caravans, they are there for any motorists to pull over"

It's a new one to me!

Has anybody spotted green dots on posts at the side of the road ???

 

Originally used as blue reflectors on the Newell in 1999.
Rod won a safety award in 2005.
Trialled in Vic in 2012, but changed to green so as not to get confused with the blue reflectors that marked fire hydrant locations.
