CPSU/CSA Rally for Secure Jobs - 11 March 2010, 12.30pm Parliament House.

There has been a lot of talk circulating over the last couple of months about reforms that the Barnett Government wants to make to the public sector.

1. All agencies will be required to review their activities annually, for suitability to be opened up to competition from ( Read more... )

Return to Work - been off on and off over the last couple of weeks between being sick and moving house. We are all moved now and the keys to the rental have been turned in. The longer we are at the new place the more I realise that I will have to let go of Taz. Someone put a brick through the passenger side window last week when it was parked in ( Read more... )

Esther is passing through tonight, so Nic and Bender are going to pick her up from the airport and drop her off Saturday morning. Nice service we provide! Hehe pity she isn't here next weekend, she could help us move. Nice strong woman she is ( Read more... )

It will be good to be able to keep riding without worrying whether I ( Read more... )

While I'm waiting for Groupwise to archive my irrelevant emails which I can't be bothered sorting through ( Read more... )

Sometimes I am struck with nostalgia for a time when I was much fitter, much cuter, much younger than I am now. I wonder then, when I'm older, will I be looking back on this time and thinking the same thing? I despair at the potentially slippery slope that ageing brings. We live in a youth-oriented society. So as you grow older you seek to attain ( Read more... )

It’s raining over the river. The boundaries between the water’s surface and the clouds are meshing into boundary-less grey fuzz. The whitecaps whipped up by ferocious winds are now obscured by this meeting of fresh and salt water. The darkness triggers a kind of fatigue. I am overtaken by a desire to curl up with the warm bodies of my pets and ( Read more... )

Been feeling so tired when it's time to wake up in the morning. Tired and weak. There was no footy training last night which is good because I don't think I could have gone anyway ( Read more... )
