Seen as our computers are out as of tomorrow I would like to wish everyone on chemtalk a very merry christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.

I am heading up to Cairns to have xmas with my brother and sister and their families and maybe doing a bit of snorkelling at Green Is (best place ever).

I will get to see my nephew for the first time in 6 months as he has joined the navy so it will be very special.

Cheers everyone and enjoy your break......we deserve it.

Hi fellow Techies!

Just wanted to wish you all a VERY magical Christmas & relaxed & safe New Year with your families!

If you're travelling be safe,
If you're staying home enjoy the break!

My last day today (YAYAYAYAYAY ). I also wanted to say a VERY BIG thank you to all of you who have so selflessly shared your hard earned knowledge of the school lab tech world with me (a newbie this year). It's been a fun one! Thanks also for the wonderful jokes (read 'keeping me sane') & freebies that have come my way - "Stickie the First" is still going strong! I really appreciate it all & have enjoyed being part of your 'family'.

Catch you all next year (although I'm sure I'll still be checking in regularly....!).

Cheers Kel

Hi to all

Merry Christmas to all those finishing this week, and best wishes for your holiday plans Enjoy!

Should get first 2 labs and P/R handed back tomorrow, so I think Christmas has come already, with a whole week to start moving things back in!
Even better, the students finish after Speech Day tomorrow, so the staff can really concentrate on the job (hmm, well maybe I'd better just speak for myself )

Blessings to all,

I'd been wondering if there was anybody out there

Lunch time and no messages from anybody.

I've spent the last couple of days sorting out 6 drawers of fossils. My son who is doing Palaeontology at UNI come in and sorted them into piles with names beside them. I have learnt so much about them in the last 2 days. I now have 5 containers with class size easy to carry specimins and several drawers of the larger more spectacular specimins.

As a state school we still have another week to go. It's so frustrating not being able to get into my new labs to get them sorted before the holidays as it will be bedlam when we return in January

Wishing everybody a Very Merry Christmas and good year in 2010.

Merry Christmas to you Wendy and to all who are still at the grindstone! I finish Wednesday with the staff party being at Midday (can't come sopn enough although I 've got enough work for a week!)
Have a cool Yule everyone and looking forward to hearing all the exciting things everyone has done when we come back!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Have a safe and happy holiday.
I am suppose to finish Friday but it looks like i will have to be here Monday & part of Tuesday.
The good news is it means i dont have to be back until 27th Jan.

Same here Wendy, labs nearly finished but not before we go on holidays. Seeing if they will let me come in the last week of hols and get labs in some sort of order. Then take the days I work in lieu during the year.

Have a great break everyone

Merry christmas to one and all. Its been great reading your notes. Isn't it wonderful we come to work and clean wash floors and benches etc and then go home to do it all over again to get ready for christmas in our homes. I just sit there and laugh as crying won't get the work done.

Hope to speak to all of you next year.

Merry Christmas!
to you all, and to all a great break!

Blessings for a joyous Christmas, a very Happy New Year, and wonderful weeks of January.
May your wish list be fulfilled, with love and laughter to spare

C U next year !!

Have a safe Holiday everyone
Jusy trying to clean everything and use the plunger on every sink, as in past years the traps have dried out and sediment in S bends set like concrete
Cheers to Chemtalk Family

Hi All,

Wishing you all and your families the very best for Christmas and a very prosperous and safe new year for 2010.

Keep up the good work that you do here on Chemtalk and I am looking forward to some new ideas coming and the family spirit we share here on chemtalk.

Job well done this year......

All the best....

Robb.....

ohh Ocker i dont miss those days at all - i am spoilt here i have a handy man that does the S bends for me now - twice a year he comes around and takes them off and cleans them out for me - bless him.

Only 1 day after this one - left heaps of stuff to do so i am busy and it goes quickly (at least that is the theory !!!)

Have safe holidays those of you who are in the same boat as me and still working
see you all in the new year god willing
