Public Policy

First let me give you some background on the current situation.

About five months ago I got a job in the public sector, a tribunal which caters for all types of ridiculous disputes. I was lucky enough to find a place to work where my dad also worked and I really did enjoy it. I was thorough, quick friendly and I was making friends. I was told how well I work by my supervisors blah blah blah...

A week ago my boss comes to me and completely out of the blue tells me that after my current casual contract runs out I can no longer work at the tribunal because it is against public policy to employ the offspring of those working higher up. Which at first I could understand...

That was all until today, when In met the girl who would be replacing me...more or less...

What annoyed me was the fact that she could hardly speak english, she couldnt type and she didnt say a word... So you tell me whether it is fair that I, an english speaking,quick typist who already understands the work should lose my job because Im related to someone who works there.And this girl,who will quite certainly fail at the job should get to replace me...

This is not a race issue... I am just upset that I would do a better job than her yet she gets to be the one who works there...

That is all

A blog about blogs...

Ok... heres my problem.. a blog is meant to be your own personal thoughts and feelings...published on the internet for all to see... however... the only people who see it are your friends and so forth.

and most of the time the blog is about them or about something that affects them...

So... can we really be honest in our blogs if we have lovers and friends looking for hidden subtle clues about their own existence....

something to think about....

Holidays

For my first blog I thought I would keep it simple and short. That is why I decided to write about the Holidays...

Now, during any given semester at uni, all I ever thought about was how much I would love to be on holidays. I would stress out about whichever assignment, test or exam I have coming up and I would wish that I could just relax at home.

Well, I am on holidays now and I have officially decided that they are completely overrated and that for some bizarre reason we Romanticise holidays to the point that it becomes such a let down when they arrive, that we just want to be back at school/uni/work...

Which brings me to my next point...

Maybe, just Maybe it is true what they always say. Maybe the grass does always look greener on the other side... it is such a pity because it seems that us as a human race will be condemned to an eternity of miserable hopless wishing that we were doing something else.

That wraps up my very fist blog.. hope you enjoyed it...
