That is all.

Well it’s taken me a few days to find some time to do another post. I did the Wednesday post short because I just was too tired to jump up and down and be anything except tired. But I did need to write some thoughts down about an article I saw in Wednesday’s West Australian Newspaper.

I’d provide a URL except that the West doesn’t seem to have it online.

It seems as though he (Tony Rutherford) doesn’t like Carmen Lawrence, the shining left leaning light of the Australian Labor Party, who is now going to be party president for 12 months. Seems as though when labor changed the way voting for party president to let the rank and file members vote - they seem to like her. It could be that they like the stance she took on the refugees, that the govt, and the labor party in opposition were wrong, so she resigned from the shadow ministry and stood up for her beliefs. Yay Carmen, the hippies of your electorate would be worshipping you.

Anyways apparently this person thinks we should move on and forget things like the principals of a free health care system - always good in my eye, but apparently he thinks he should compare it to the United Kingdom’s health system, which we all know sucks. However, that really doesn’t bother me. The final paragraph he writes, does bother me.

“.. The real issue here, however, is in the end a historical one; in this world of middle-class values and preoccupations, there now seems nowhere for the old left of the ALP to go. Some of them might find a haven in the Greens, but for the rest, history has passed them by. If they will not face up to the implications of this, then it’s time they retired gracefully.”

Ok .. someone tell me how barracking for the good guys, objection to compulsory locking up of innocent people here on boats, better health care and free education is so bad? How is that so now old school, that the greens or even the democrats should be the ones to vote for? We have a 2 party system - voting for minor parties isn’t exactly going to make life better for us.

I’ll just mention facism again.

Censoring the media, locking up people for several days at a time with no legal representation or notification, compulsory locking up of refugees as they land, a “dob in a terrorist” scheme - a few racist policies dotted here and there (look at the way aboriginals and muslims are treated by media and government)?

I’ll get off my soapbox now..

I have a best friend.

I haven’t had one of those for a very long time. Someone found me suitable for being a Best Friend and I am totally chuffed Apparently we’ve been best friends for quite some time, just never reason to say it until a couple of days ago. That’s so cool.

I was rummaging through someone’s live journal .. and i found this link.

that’s me all over..

Microsoft fires worker over weblog

Many people post about their work in their blogs, in fact, many of the people I read on a regular basis write about their work place, sucky bosses, whiney co-workers or corporate policies which are very Dilbertian in their final drafts. However alot of them do not mention where they work, and what building and take photo’s of their workplace. Especially because for some businesses, it could be seen as security risk.

Like, if I told people about my work, where I worked, the problems that the company was having with software, and some of their policy decisions regarding clients, I could conceivably and fairly be given the sack, and deemed as untrustworthy. Other friends I know have blabbed on their livejournal about their father’s legal problems with a company she works for (he owned part of it) and what the business partners were doing to steal money from it, and how they were trying to frame her dad for theft etc.. it was all very detailed. I told her that if her dad’s business partners found her site, that any chance of her dad solving their problems legally would be reduced. So she stopped.

So when I mention people in my posts I just use letters to signify some name given, could be first/last/middle name for all they know.

This article I found amusing because of something else I was only made recently aware of when I went out to dinner with D, M and T. D has a boyfriend, which like my partner, P and another couple of friends R, C and J work in the ISP business. Now especially in Perth, if you are in IT/ISP aligned businesses you are going to find that you have friends who work in different companies, so the companies we all work for are some of the larger ISP’s in Perth. D’s boyfriend works for an ISP in Melbourne - he was annoyed with regards to a purchase made of an ISP elsewhere in Oz - because another company which one of my friends works for, purchased it and took out the Melb. ISP. D’s boyfriend asked if she had told any of her friends (us) which of course she hadn’t. She was really surprised at his attitude, seems as tho he sees her as slightly risky and could pass on company info to any one of us and that we would use it. This made everyone at the dinner table snort. Why? Because if D’s boyfriend thought we would possibly sit there and spy on eachother for sensitive company information, then that means he was capable of it himself.

We’re friends, we don’t divulge company business to eachother if it is going to affect the way our business is run. We talk about issues which are usually common in the industry, bandwidth problems, the latest Federal govt. legislation affecting the internet, how cool the latest cisco routers are etc. (or how crap they are due to recent bugs found). It occurred to me today, that D’s boyfriend used this friendship ring to gain knowledge from M, who subcontracted for my partner’s business for a while, found out some confidential information about the company and this affected a commercial negotiation that my partner’s business had with D’s boyfriend’s employer, being that Melb ISP.

I spoke to my partner about that, and he agreed that was what happened, but he doesn’t blame M for it. It wasnt something which was so important, like source code or something, just a yes to a seemingly innocuous question.

So - beware of what you blog, remove identifying comments and names, but lets not forget that even outside of the blog world and IRC - information can be misused by the closest of people aswell.

I have been reading of the last couple of days about the live sheep trade and how there have been many protests against it blahblah and I happen to believe that Live export of sheep is totally unnecessary - I’ll explain further in a moment…

I have to admit, the worst thing these protestors could have done, was contaminate a whole pile of sheep, with pig products. Yes, it is illegal, because we need to protect humans from catching Mad Cows Disease (variants thereof) - and to see a human being contaminating a whole shipment of sheep destined for human consumption, sickens me.

These sheep are now unuseable - they can’t even be slaughtered for feeding Australians! What did these people think they were going to do with these sheep? Find a kind farmer to let them live out their days on some farm with leafy green fields? So now we have a flock of 50+ thousand baabaa lambs floating around a few paddocks, with NO value whatsoever - in fact, keeping them alive now costs the man who owns the sheep money, but the government and a few other people. Extra feed costs, extra water costs, the fact a contract can’t be honoured so there might be penalty fees.

and lets look at the irony of this situation..

THEY USED PIG MEAT - what happened to those poor piggies.. did they donate their limbs for the cause?

Hellllloooo!

Now back to why I think live exports are unnecessary. I used to live in a nice town called Katanning, in WA - it has a significant number of Muslim people, who were drawn to the town because it had a Halal abattoir - a Halal Abattoir is one which slaughters sheep according to Muslim guidelines. In a way, like jews have kosher food, Muslims have the same thing. Like the jewish people, Muslims also do not touch pork products, another reason why those sheep had been contaminated with pig meat. Back to my Halal Abattoir education.

We don’t NEED to send live sheep if we can just slaughter them at Halal Abattoirs. We have several in WA, and I am sure there would be a few in other states. So let’s do this protest against live sheep exports the right way, suggest alternatives such as these Halal Abattoirs, use existing or open new ones and fix it that way - positively.

End of today’s preaching session, I hope you all now email the government about using Halal Abattoirs and let’s throw a few cans of spam at the retard who used pig meat to completely ruin some sheep.

I thought I was trying to be nice when I suggested to someone they didnt have to go to the viewing of his uncle’s body - but he totally misread it and got nasty and said some things about me and my family and the death of my grandma. I promptly dissolved into tears. Even when I was grieving in the week before the funeral, as much as people irritated me and said the wrong thing I never could say that kind of thing. Just made me acutely aware of how much I miss my grandmother - her smile, the “hello” when I rang her or she rang me. Her asking about work and my cats, even tho she hated cats in general. ok. crybaby session over.

On the plus side:
I am on day 2 of my time off, day 1 started with me getting sick with a nasty infection and needing to go to the docs and get ze antibiotics, I figured I mayaswell get them, whilst they work - since pretty soon we’ll all find a superbug that wont be cured by mould spore. I have plans to fix up my bike today, I am broke until the end of the month because all my money was spent on David Bowie tickets..

I read a Janny Wurts book that made me cry. Most unusual. It was called, To ride Hell’s Chasm. I read the back of the book to a friend who told me it sounded like one of those bodice ripping hi(y)sto(e)rical novels. It was about a man who didn’t fit in to the City he worked in, was maligned and misunderstood, battle scarred and bitter, and through incredible odds survived, rescued a princess and saved a small kingdom, in return, finding his roots, being accepted by them and adopted, and being freed to return to the home of his true love and marry her. *sigh* Oh.. it involved lots of dark sorcery, sword fights, shape shifters, doddery old men, bitter irony and twists and of course, a small love story thrown in for the pathos and tragedy factor.

Gotta love those bodice ripping unrequited love romance fantasy novels.

On a seperate note..

I feel like gran is still around and watching me. I’ve been stressed about recent health problems, which is bad in itself, and some other stuff - and when I was sleeping night before last, Gran rang me to talk to me, to find out what was wrong. I woke up crying ;/ . Then last night I had more nightmares.. about being jinxed and having unhealthy spirits/ghosts hanging around me, I woke up several times paralysed with fear that they were real.

I am hoping I’ll be so tired tonight I’ll sleep without remembering any dreams..
