Mine was farking sh!t.
It rained every day.
The one day it didn't rain I took my push bike out for a spin and got run over by a postie.
I gained 6kgs, I reckon I lost 10kgs of muscle and gained 16kgs of fat... cos I wobble way more than normal.
I became an alcoholic.
I bought so much crap I don't know what to do with it.

The last 2 years have been crap summers, but this one takes the all time crap cake.

Guess what it's still raining!

Rain?????? what's that stuff .... seems to be a barrier out there somewhere and we get our arses scorched to the welldone side of seared over on our side
Bugger all waves on any regular basis , hit & miss really unless you can get travel distances.

Upside .... new boards for this year no wasps posties don't hassle in the wildwest or we shoot their knackers off - click , bang , nuts on terra firma
2 Vactions penned in , one short , one long!

Guess what - it's still over 30 degrees now!

has it been summer already?

Not toooo bad, better than last year.
La Nina is going bye-byes and next season will rock.

Mine was good, I got through it. For the past 18 years I've worked 2 jobs during summer, so it's always a challenging time for me, but at the same time it's a great earner. I now measure my progress in life at the end of summer. Unfortunately, I started smoking again, but gave up just recently again. I think this time I'll be off for good; I've worked out a better plan for myself and am confident. Not smoking last year resulted in me stacking on almost 10kg in weight, I became extremely moody and agitated, but this time I think I have a much better plan.

At the start of the year I made a resolution to have the whole of Autumn off - to camp, surf, go fishing, bushwalking and stay in cheap motels in Victoria. I gave a months notice that I was quiting my job at start of Feb and all was rosy for a couple of weeks. Then my boss asked me if I could stay on for a few weeks longer. I said sure, as long as I employed as a contractor on current market rates.

One thing led to another and as it turned out, I got a nice pay increase and decided to continue on. I did still managed to get my fishing/camping 'man' trip in at Steep Point WA, which I'm extremely excited about.

Shucks - I can't begin to talk about how good it felt to be wanted in my job. Maybe next year I'll do the whole of Autumn break thing that I've been dreaming of.

Thankfully, now that I'm working again, Autumn here has got off to a bad start, lots of rain and wind. So I feel quite content about what's happened in my life this Summer.

Yeah - it's been a good Summer.

Farkin wet

Havent heard of a pickleectomy but I think he really needs an optorectomy where they disconnect the cord from your eyes to your arsehole to get rid of your sh!!ty outlook on life

Sounds like you need to see the doctor and book yourself in for a pickleectomy.

Missed out on summer completely this year...

On the Plus side i'm 5 days off 100 days of snowboarding, and still 2 months left in Canada

(Coming home with serious goggle tan)

You sort of make me think of those big boss salaries, and big bonuses, and big company profits, by screwing every staff member out of a few dollars here and there, and the promise of long employment... As you discovered, it's quite common for an individual to be both "replaceable", but at the same time "quite a bit better than the other options".... It sort of results in weekly bonuses.

Well done Adolf. I did what you did, but about 4 years ago. I rank it as one of the best decisions of my life.

Along those lines, my sister in law says, "no decision is a decision". For example, if you can't make up your mind whether to leave a job, and don't decide to do something about your situation, then your non decision was actually to stay put...

Dissappointing

mmm, had a client who completely stressed me out just before xmas, took the shine of the season, so much anger in me that my Sup board got paddled k's and K's, did lots of running/walking and I was able to vent it out on getting fit, fittest I have been for some years and years, met the client for the first time this morning, whilst she was trying to justify herself and crying as she did it, I suggested she had ****ed my Xmas and that of the family and blah blah blah making her shorter in stature than she is and left her feeling completely stupid in front of a number of people, harsh but fair and shared a good effyn laugh about it with a couple of the blokes afterwards, I got her a bloody beawdy, now I can move on

A pickleectomy is just a simple procedure where the doctor removes the pickle from your bum.

I'd like to know where I can sign my boss up for one please!

Is it just a day surgery thing? Or can we set up the workshop cricket pitch and bbq?
