Not Happy Jan!!

So, as previously posted, I had the day off to watch Qualifying in this years "Great Race", otherwise known as the Super Cheap Bathurst 1000. While watching the telecast the Development Series first race of the weekend was on. In an incident packed race there was an absolutely massive accident that had me, for a long time, fearing for the drivers lives. This, as could be expected, heavily delayed the start of official Qualifying. When it did start it was well behind schedule.

For those unaware of the Qualifying system in V8 Supercars the field is split into two halves based upon their performances in the Practice sessions to that point in the weekend. While watching the bottom 50% go through their 45 minute Qualifying session it was obvious that the telecasts scheduled finish time of 16:00 was going to arrive prior to the end of Qualifying. Foolishly I simply assumed that the telecast would continue until Qualifying was over. WRONG!! Apparently according to "broadcast legislation" Channel Ten are legally required to continue with their childrens TV programming at 16:00.

So what does this mean? It means I took an entire day off work, sat inside all day resulting in a headache in order to watch Qualifying and hopefully watch Rusty make the top 10 for the Shootout tomorrow only to have the top 50%, of which Rusty was a member, hit the track with about 5 minutes to go in the telecast. I saw them perform a warm up lap and then the telecast ended!! ARRRGGGHHH!! Fuck you Channel Ten, thanks for nothing!!

To help me get through this traumatic time I went for some retail therapy when picking up Bee from Garden City. I bought a Logitech Cordless Mini mouse for Baby Blue. I am now blogging and surfing in much more comfort without having to use the TouchPad. Which is some comfort and relaxing for a very unhappy and angry Mick. Grrr!!!
