From this angle the late afternoon rainbow appears to be landing on the Suncorp building.

Wherever I might be inclined to look for a pot of gold, that wouldn't be the place. Annualised shareholder returns on Suncorp are -4.0%, -8.6%, -10.5% for 1, 3 and 5 years respectively. But hey, if you held the shares for 10 years, you'd have made a whopping 2% annualised return! Mind you, my dreams of riches from Leighton Holdings and Primary Health Care are best not mentioned either.

And it's not pointing to the latest Oz Lotto winner; that was someone in Mollymook on the south coast who scooped $25m on Tuesday. While I don't begrudge them, isn't it my syndicate's turn yet???

I'd settle for it being a real pot of gold, since last time I checked the spot price on gold was 0.46 Canon 5D Mk II's per ounce. (What, how do you price it, then?)

And I doubt that it's a metaphor, since this was the Week From Hell at work. It was only on Friday that I started to get traction and while I got a lot done that day I left the building 11 hours after I started (less a 20 minute lunch break) feeling like a zombie.

I suppose that the best that can be said for it is that at least the rainbow spared me needing to look for a PAD subject later in the afternoon.

But I'd still have preferred the pot of gold. (Since that would be a nice, shiny PAD subject anyway.)
