Meh. That’s my general mood. I just can’t get any excitement up for anything. everything is bothering me. Nothing is satisfying me. It’s all just meh. I know what this is.

When did just doing your job become a bad thing?
Apparently “cruising” is perceived as a negative.
Why? I have done the management thing, not interested in doing it again. I’m not interested in continuing to climb the ladder, not interested in bonuses, not interested in special projects, not interested in interstate or overseas travel, not interested in specialising … in...

colleague 1:
colleague 2: What did he just say?
Me: oh, ignore it. It just makes random collections of noises that only occasionally seem to come together into sentences through random chance
colleague 2: it?
me: what?
colleague 2: you called him "it"
me: oh, sorry, in my mind, he is just a life size walking furby

Between my shifts at the Seymour Farming Expo on the weekend, the research and planning of fittings, infrastructure requirements and primary systems required for the house engineering schedules, the gearing up for the new school year units, working on two startup committees, setting up website structures for 6 Landcare groups, offering some mentoring to a few misguided souls who think I have the...
Always busy ...
I volunteered to man a few shifts at the Mitchell Shire and Landcare stand (Stall 250) at the Seymour Alternative Farming Expo with my first shift this afternoon. Chillaxin with a coffee and a healthy breakfast of oats … like a cockie.

I think if you’re a man and you have an opinion about fertility, birth control or abortions where the solution does not involve your own scrotum and penis then perhaps you should shut the fuck up. Here is one of many voices why:

I'm pretty amazing
I may be awkward, unsocial, suffering from a bunch of health issues and may not have the self-confidence I need … but I keep getting up and moving on.

“[Contraception is] not okay because it’s a license to do things in the sexual...”
– Rick Santorum
Bypass surgery is not okay because it’s a license to do things in the medical realm that are counter to how things are supposed to be.
Human flight is not okay because it’s a license to do things in the mechanical realm that are counter to how things are supposed to be.

First time meme?
why? Is it truly that bad for everyone? Every one I have read has made me just want to get a blankie, hot water bottle, a box of chocolates and a cuddling couch for them … all.of.them.

My actual feelings on child discipline
It’s funny, when people find out i left home at 14 for physically visible signs in my body, they automatically assume I would be anti-smacking. When I correct them, they assume I must be “continuing the chain”. Here’s the thing … a smack does not equal a beating. There is a difference.

Me: Isn't that just right? It's like us!
Her: Well, mostly ..
Me: Mostly?
Her: Well, we've been together for a while now

Me: So, what parts do i still make you feel after all these years then?
Her: That part about making my head go a-thump-a-thump-a-thump
