I knew that posting anything good about my relationship would backfire. Specifically that tempting fate by writing how good he’s been lately would be my undoing. How absolutely right I was.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was meant to be the first day of a week and a half of forced annual leave for him. The shop he works [...]

Internet woes.
Posted in arsehats, computers, tagged arsehats, computers on August 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My internet at home is no longer working. This sucks. The stupid macho tech guys that I rang to help me fix it were worse than useless. First, I had to go through not just a voice menu, but a voice troubleshooting guide. It was so bad and basic it made me cry. Finally I [...]

I recently rewatched the first three episodes of this show, and wow did they ever Get It back then. There are a few things overall I have problems with, but mostly it was pretty damn excellent. So, the problems:

A few random updates that aren’t substantial enough to be on their own.

It’s been a long couple of weeks for me. The funeral was a week ago, and was extremely hard. Which is a stupid thing to say because funerals aren’t actually meant to be easy are they? My mum was at her most inappropriate and even managed to get into an argument with my widowed uncle’s [...]
Pretty and Peaceful

Jim Warren’s pictures make me happy. I also feel kind of peaceful whilst looking at them. The only reservation I have is that he seems to draw blonde women/girls more than males. Slightly disturbing in context of the patriarchy, but it’s possible it’s innocent. I just highly doubt it.
Arsehat boss

Today I received an email from my brother that proved once and for all what a humorless feminist I am.

When will the arsehats at work stop talking?

Another overheard conversation.
Apparently there’s been a university study that has proven that the group most discriminated against in Australia is middle aged Anglo Saxon males with a mortgage.
Yes folks, apparently this poor privileged group is so trodden upon they are now the most discriminated in the country. Before I interrupted this delightful and intelligent [...]
