YI - a few different things but the most interesting is helping establish a vocational training/micro finance project in fairly remote area of the state. we have the infrastructure so we're partnering with a couple of other NGOs in the area to implement a program for the villagers where they can receive training and then access loans to establish small businesses, and we may also set up a clinic as there's nothing in the area. in a few weeks we're having a meeting with the community to ascertain what they want and how we can help, so being involved from the start is quite exciting.

Also, BU to getting the full Adobe suite. toot!

wow that sounds really interesting, nice one.

not entirely sure what went down yet, i think she got 117days and a fine,
so they must have reduced the charge to resisting arrest or vandalism or something
she's still a bit fucked from not attending uni she owes all her scholarship money
to the government, but 'm guessing for her now getting the fuck out of nederlands, going
to centretek and horse riding take precedence over most things

Flinders lane is clogged with design fuckwits. I just want a fucking coffee without having to run the Zambesi Thick-Framed-Glasses-Plus-Statement-Jewelry-That'll-Take-Your-Eye-Out Gauntlet.

thanks all!!!!

my boss was in shock and said he felt really sad and would be lost without me. Well buddy, you had your chance to make it better and stop her from bullying me and others, and you sat back and watched. He now wants me to detail everything to HR about what has happened. I will be anyways, but i think he is FINALLY realising what is happening to his team because of her. 9 resignations in a year....ummm yeah....

and this is me

Bigups to that! I have to say if i moved out to the outter suburb way i would head to Mt Dandenongs for sure, its just too fricken gorgeous, love it!!!

Post by **fooishbar** » Mon Aug 16, 2010 3:03 pm

mum moved right up into the hills in belgrave sth, absolutely gorgeous up there. no way i'd be commuting into the city every day tho!

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Mon Aug 16, 2010 3:07 pm

The Randynongs are amazing.

Lots of time spent up there growing up - nice work Sammy & Glenny.

commute from the city wouldn't be too bad on an express train would it?

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Mon Aug 16, 2010 3:15 pm

I wanna move to the hills.

For a month id make a vegie garden, walk barefoot among the chickens, write all the words down i hardly have time to think of in the city, and spend days and nights cooking.
Then I'd get stir crazy, think too much, argue on the internet for want of a drama to sink my teef into and try to start events involving horses, serrato and UV stargazing in the bush.

5 years and it might be a plan. Bigups for you guys making the seachange.

Lil MiSbreaks · Post by **Lil MiSbreaks** » Mon Aug 16, 2010 3:37 pm

that sounds great Bo.

Foo, Im doing it and its balls. Only cos im along st kilda road another 40 min from the city. Its about an hour on the train, so its not that bad at all, cept that ive gotta then get along to bum fuck nowhere. We move offices in Oct just behind Spencer, so then it is actually only 20 more min than when i loved in Brunswick, so about an hour an 15 min. Bring THAT on.
Cant wait to get the garden going, my gramps had it all done before they moved, so its ready to rumble.

Bo, and i dont have chickens, but if you want to walk barefoot in dog shit and play in the garden, the door is always open!

Um, another BU. Big boss calls me over, tells me "i see a need, would you like Friday off". WTF, day off NOT asked for by me.

Today went from zero to hero in a rather quick fashion.

I actually want to get chickens, but the last ones my grandparents woke everyone too early. this raises a question, if you just want eggs and no babies, do you need a rooster? I think thats a dumb question

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 1:57 pm

DO NOT GET A ROOSTER.

and yes, chickens lay eggs even if they arent getting fucked, just like us.

Lil MiSbreaks · Post by **Lil MiSbreaks** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 2:00 pm

Thankyou. Thats good, cos I dont want a rooster, there annoying.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 2:02 pm

I used to put the hose on full and just blast our rooster into the corner so i could go get the eggs.

He would attack anyone who went in there. Roosters are cunts.

Lil MiSbreaks · Post by **Lil MiSbreaks** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 2:07 pm

And they dont taste that nice either

Last rooster near me was running around with its head still attached by one single vein. Dear god it was disturbing when one is 7! Their meat is grey and i didnt like it.

chickens!!! now to convince brb, haha. might add a few duckies in there too, there cute and lovely.
