Feelings like: happiness, excitement, relief and perhaps wanting a nice microwave dim sim or two.

Guess who has to restructure an 18000 word chapter by Wednesday :( Well, that’ll learn me for being such a crap writer.

Today I packed up my office and brought the last of the junk home. Here is a brief manifesto:

My birth certificate (ineffective as means to obtain passport)
An very uncomfortable ergonomic keyboard rest (I make my own now. You want one?)
A ‘Smile: Jesus Loves You!’ yellow eraser
A crappy whiteboard marker
Spare apartment keys
Souvenir conference name tags (Sydney, Melbourne, NZ)
Fake plastic ivy for blue-tacking to furniture.
A button badge reading ‘Pointless Ironic Badge’ (I totally love myself for thinking of that)
Paperclips

Which means just one week’s worth of nose-grindstone proximity and I’ll be headed your way, Sweet Land of No Daylight Savings. I’m wearing my RED de Bono hat - that means INTENSE FEELINGS.

INTENSE, PEOPLE.

  2. Hey, I know daylight savings sucks pretty badly, but isn’t packing up your stuff and moving a bit of an extreme reaction? ;)

  3. Tomas - ta. And ta for calling me hombre. That’s a first.

    Boof - I guess it would be, but I just call WA The Land of No Daylight Savings as a joke, because there isn’t much else you can say in its favour. I can live with daylight savings if I have to.

  4. I thought you were on about Queensland.
    I’ve thought that WA was The Barren Land of No Easy Access.

  5. Queensland goes by much nastier names which frequently involve the word ’shit’.

  6. Ethan Switch - I have lived in WA and found some things much harder to access than others, but generally the level of access is okay with me.

    Nails - Yeah, QLD sucks. I’ve never even been there and I know it sucks.

  7. I think that’s the first time you’ve addressed me by the full moniker.
