Pfft!
Everyone else has their gripe about World Youth day, so I'm going to jump right on the bandwagon.
It costs me $6.80 to travel to and from work everyday on the train. So why do the commemorative WYD train tickets only cost $4? How is this even remotely fair? They even include unlimited travel within the CBD, which my daily ticket doesn't. Not only are taxpayers subsidising these visitors to choke up the city, many of them will be from overseas, and not pay any taxes at all towards the thing. As a woman just trying to make an honest living embezzling from her CBD company, this makes me furious. I can't even buy a WYD ticket in place of my normal one, as they're only valid for travel in off-peak times.
Aaaargh!

I'm feeling marginally better today, the horrible sense of discombobulation has passed. I was called a "stupid goth child" yesterday. Well, that's better than being a wiezened, prematurely middle aged bore.
