His excellent brains and study habits meant that he was once again awarded Outstanding Apprentice for his results in Second Year. You may remember that when he won this award last year, he received an invitation to a slap-up dinner for both of us at the TAFE award ceremony in a posh-ish reception centre, plus a cash prize of $200 and a further $100 voucher from his own employers in recognition of his achievement. This year the Award Ceremony was a daytime event with tea and biscuits (we decided to give it a miss), the prize had lost its sponsorship, making it just a certificate in the mail, and his work gave him 2 movie tickets. And no, they weren't gold class tickets.
When she heard about this, Fixit's Aunty Judith was disgusted, and this is what she sent him. I think it is totally awesome of her.

Awww that's the sweetest thing I've ever read!
Bah humbug to the bloody sponsors and his employer - they should realise how lucky they are to have him as an employee.
PS - I'm pitying his adventures at the Broady shopping centre (my sister used to live in Crazyburn and that was the local shops).
Go Fixit & yay for Aunty Judith!

My cousin is an airplane mechanic and pilot. He has some interesting stories to tell. One involved opening the door on a plane at several thousand feet up during a pre-repair "test drive" because of smoke in the cockpit. His wife was just THRILLED to hear about that one...
