Where oh Where has my little dog gone

Apparently Pluto is no longer a planet. Well it is a dwarf planet - and no Bean Bag Boy, not in the sense of Margaret Cho's midget...

Now for most of us, like me, I don't really care, and can't believe that they actually spend billions of dollars defining balls of gas and rocks floating around in space.

But the MX cared, ALOT! They did a 4 page spread on it.

But the best part was what the 8-9 year old kids at Cheltenham Primary School (I made that up I can't remember what school it was) said about it. Including:

"I think it's sad because I have always thought about Pluto being there, and now it's not."

"I am really sad because I thought of Pluto as a friend and now I don't have that friend anymore."

Come on kids...... It's a ball of gas and rocks floating in space - it ain't ever gonna come over and play tag with you in your back yard. And if it did - you better run fast......

Walking the streets of Oakleigh South and Clayton South might be fun for some:
dog walkers, garbage fossickers, street hoe's.... But for a census collector it is a royal pain in the fesse.

Now I hate being bothered by telemarketers, indian call centres and door to door researchers as much as the next person, but which part of government"census of population" didn't you quite get people? Its the same people who refuse to fill it in, that flood the talkback radio stations and letters to the editor with whingeing and whining about not enough hospital beds and not enough roads and why isn't the government doing more for me..... Well, you want the government to know you exist? Tell them by filling in you f-ing census form and politely handing it back to me the collector....................

I've had doors slammed on me, heckles, attempted arguments and the odd bit of swearing.
Now getting chased down the road by dogs, navigating my way around rubbish (some people actually live like those hoarders on A Current Affair!) and trying to fing COMPLETELY HIDDEN front doors I can deal with - but don't yall start wit da attitude cos I ain't in to it..

My favourite part is the people who look down on me because they think that its the only job I can get. Little do they know that I work full time and am trying to boost my overseas funds.

On the plus side all that walking is helping me to lose weight...

Speaking of holidays as of today it is officially 93 days or 3 months to the date until I will be sitting on a plane...

Don't Raise Goldfish at the Bottom of Your Cup

The advice of a pretend drunk Taiwanese Suono player resonates in my ears today.

Also does Kamahl's "the elephant song".

You should check out www.ntdtv.com to see the real news on what's happening in China.

With only 106 days till we leave (!) things are hotting up in the excitement department.
But the project tasks department is in overdrive with the number of things to get done.

All good in the Budget and Finance department however, with progress on that front.

Man am I over bureaucraticized or what?
