For the first time in my life I'm starting to feel the need to engage in some political activism. And for one reason.

We need to oust Lynn Kosky.

Really, she needs to go. I reckon a march on State Parliament to call for her resignation would surely send signals. When is the last time in Victoria that a mob marched on parliament for the sole purpose of calling for the scalp of an elected official? I can't remember the last time it happened.

Just organise everyone to march from Flinders St up to the steps of parliament. Do it at say 5.30, after work so everyone is still in their suits etc. That way it doesn't look like a fringe element, it looks like normal people, everyday commuters who are fed up.

:scr1pt:

absolute disgrace. i hate that i'm being penalised for a failing system, but will be begrudgingly paying a fine today. no further appeal except to the magistrates court which i can't afford financially or time wise. it's a complete joke of a system. makes me angry thinking about it.

has there been any word on whether or not Connex won the tender?

they wouldn't be interested in Kosky anyways, they only focus on subjects with brains.

I drove 140km today. Mt Waverley to the airport to Toorak to the airport and back to Mt Waverley. Let's not forget the $6000 worth of tolls. Was glad for the late start today but jeezus H after not much sleep, by 2pm, I felt like I'd been up raving all night. Wish I had been, might have made the training a wittle more bearable :tard:

Thanks Feigan and aroes :D Tomorrow will be the test when I'm all by my lonesome in an "office" that's basically the size of a bathroom. Damn those shared offices...if the building was a house, my room would be the windowless study. But I earned money today and I'm very happy about that :smt003

the snuggie is fucking weird man. i saw an ad for it for the first time today.

it looks like a big long monks robe. i thought they were advertising a cult to begin with, or Jedi school or some shit.

looks a bit like academic robes too innit.

mornin.

you know when you begin a new project with others, and soon into it there's little alarm bells ringing,
and you wonder if its going to be a whole lot of wasted energy or maybe even, a huge terrible drama, a scourge upon your life?

Im hearing the faint tinkling of those bells today.

uh oh.

uh oh.
if its any consolation I've found that the vast majority of projects are a complete waste of time, and even if they aren't it doesn't matter so much, because when the universe eventually collapses in on itself and then explodes again it will do it in an identical fashion to that which it has already, and thus the mistakes we make today we will be doomed to repeat for all eternity.

probably not. I'm just saying that one day we will all be compressed into a singularity, so maybe its better to spend our time preparing for that. I'd hate to show up for eternity in a tux or something and everyone else has just worn jeans and hoodies.

yeah but, if the ladies are looking for someone to bunk up with after the apolcalypse,
negotiation tactics are right up there with hunting skills, and I know in a suit you'd be a force to be reckoned with.

the hoodie guys would be sent to get firewood, and you would be put forth to communicate with the next dimension,
as a model of earthling/human deboniar.

I can see a pair of peregrine falcons nesting in the CBD.

I look like a paedophile staring out of my office window with binoculars.

Peregrine falcons are awesome.

Actually I want an owl. It can live on the rails of my loft and can fly out the window in the evening to hunt. Then it can regurgitate pellets of fur and bone the next day and I can tell what it had for dinner.

Awesome.
