Well guys - I have some news. I lost my job last week. I’m still a bit overwhelmed about it all and I have also quite a bit of work to do to repair a friendship with a really close friend. I don’t want to lose him.
Has it really been that long since I’ve been around? Yikes. Here’s a pic of exactly how my last couple of months have been. To sum it all up, pretty crappy. I never know from one day to the next week what fresh hell awaits.
@streakmachine Ok, so let me start off with a disclaimer that just says I’m not a true blue Queenslander 1. I wouldn’t normally express my political views, but having previously lost my State Government job due to changes in political power has made me a little bitter and twisted about it all. It was expected in this last federal election a lot of Queensland seats would swing one way but it didn’t work out that way. So yes, I completely agree with you on that front.
As far as people go, I can’t speak for anyone that lives in the Far North or inland but here in the South East / Greater Brisbane area, everyone seems to have quite a laid back attitude, as opposed to the hustle and bustle of Sydney or Melbourne.

I moved up here in 2008
@streakmachine so let me start off by asking what your opinion of Queensland is first before I get into anything. What bad things have you heard?

Ok so when they said there would be a cold snap coming in the days leading up to winter I didn’t quite think it would get that cold. 6°C minimum in Brisbane CBD tomorrow. I already have a ridiculously early start and late finish at work, how much more can I be punished?
I’ll have to put my tracking support back on my knee and pack my walking stick I think. It hasn’t liked these cold mornings at all.
@peemee I do remember them being around when I was little (I’m talking late 80’s early 90’s here) but they’re much smaller now than they used to be.
@hybotics I gotta say I haven’t heard of the chocolate satin pie. I was intrigued so I googled and OMG, I need this pie in my life. Where can I get one, apart from making my own version?

Getting back to the chocolate debate, I picked up the Wagon Wheel block today. Haven’t cracked it open yet but I plan to later with a cup of tea. Watch this space.
