2025-11-28 (Tooronga)

Worked at Tooronga, my customer's head office

Miso & Peanut Butter cookie with my coffee

Drove to the office ~ 25min. My customer has Fridays in the office, so i drive in to join the team. It is only once a week (usually) so it isn't too tiring

However, Fridays used to be my most productive day: and now they are my least productive 

Also: my customer used to have "meeting free" Fridays. And now it is the only day that everybody is free for a meeting, so the project managers will book time in our calendar

When everybody's calendar is full, that probably means they need more staff? but that means $$$

RICHMOND ~ 7:30pm

Bar 360 is a small bottleshop with corkage. I have actually been here before (under another name)

The beer selection is wide ranging. A little bit of everything & some brand new releases

I order a beer called "Run" (One Drop, NSW) Then the guy who served me played Iron Maiden's run to the hills. I'm basically the only one here ~ 8pm

• I got Slash'd

• then The Darkness'd (i don't know his name)

LEADBEATER ~ 8:30pm

I had a quick chat with E from Father Daddy, but they were on really late ~ 10:30pm

• I got Chris Cornell'd

LAST CHANCE — ROCK N ROLL BAR until ~ 12am

Met up with R from Canberra and M (and S who was not supposed to be there)

• I got Kirk Hammett'd

Molly Meldrum-looking guy: Hawaiian shirt. Unbuttoned half way. Some kind of brimmed hat. He said he was 62 but he looked late 40s. Friendly, smiley

"I was in Bali. And the locals thought i was him. The guitarist from Metallica. Oh. I'm so drunk. What was i saying"

He bought a round of pints for the 3 of us. I kept weaving Do yourself a favour into the conversation but i don't think he caught on, others did a double-take at him and then laughed in spite of themselves

I went to leave Last Chance at 10:30pm to go back to Leadbeater to see my mate E's band — but the uber surge pricing was double what i was expecting (due to the rain?) so i stayed until 00:00
