FIRST DAY AS A BUMPER ACTION PINBALL TECHNICIAN
« on: June 12, 2012, 07:21:57 PM »
Well for those of you who don't already know I took on the full time position as a pinball technician at bumper action in st Melbourne.

Had a good first day well mostly...   Traffic was light only took me 40mins from Geelong which was a great start.     Spent the day fixing Pinballs machines working with a great bunch of blokes the day flew by before I knew it was time to go home.

   One slight hick up I locked my keys in the car  %.%. Then to add injury to insult I snapped off my door handle for good measure  @.@

  Let's see what tomorrow brings.....
