I work hard for the money!

Hey Guess what? I turned 19 and got a pay rise, just as Ben predicted! I have no idea what my official rate of pay is (last time i checked it was $14/hr) but i know now that for 10 hours work i get about $184 (plus some tax and stuff they take out) so I know it's at least the $18 mark. Cool huh?

Only problem is, that's a great hourly rate, but I only ever get 10 hours per week. Even in holidays. So, who knows somewhere else I could work for similar pay, but with the added bonus of filluig up my holidays with nonstop earning?

Dammit!

Dammit Emma! We'd had such a good run!

oh well.

So anyway I'm going to be 19 soon. It's that year in between being 18 and being 20 that just doesn't get the attention it should. Kinda like 17, only at least you could get your license at 17. What becomes legal at 19? Nothing. Dead nothing.

I feel the law has failed me on this account. First politician who promises to rectify that for future generations gets my vote!

Dammit!

Dammit Emma, you moved superblog up to the top of my list and I accidentally posted on it instead of coffeeandother. Oh well, I guess it was time it came back to life. Joe! Post something! You too Damian!

Attention.

All mac users should note that cover flow is shit. It's just a pretty list that you scroll through, and not revolutionary. Just pointing this out, in case you hadn't realised yet. Also, OSX is quite lame, macs are overly expensive and if you think using windows is retardedly hard, perhaps you shouldn't be using a computer in the first place. As for all this "macs are so good for life" shit, I seem to be blogging quite well without using any apple software (along with all the other bloggers out there) and I don't know ANYONE who shoots and edits home video. Also, I like to play things called games (they are rather fun, more fun than blogging and editing videos), and there seem to be a lot more of them on the PC than the mac. I think that just about covers it.

Oh, wait, iTunes is especially shit. It has managed to reach a whole new level of crap, which I'm assuming Apple are incredibly embarrassed by. Unless it's one of the defining features of the mac. How unfortunate. Seriously, it can't even scan the library and remove dead files. It knows they're not there, it has a little exclamation mark and everything, but there isn't an option to get rid of them all. It takes ages to load, it doesn't obey any of the special effects in Vista and it's clunky. Seriously, is all of OSX that bland gray colour? Cause windows got past that in 3.1 or something.

Time machine is cool though.

Cos I can...

I finished my thesis today, and to celebrate I present mahna mahna!

nnngh...

There are some weird people in this world. Like, the student that told me I look beautiful - I don't object to compliments, but from random strangers the're a bit disconcerting.

Aaaand another random student (elderly this time) complimented me on my jewellery. Should I be concerned?

Emmarrrrgh

Funny things.

I'm bored and waiting for my network to be up and running so I can get to my prac which is on the other computer. I've often said that Joe and I should turn our conversations into a sitcom. Here's a list of funny things Joe has said today, without the bits that I've said which means it probably won't make sense to you. Oh well.

Here Comes Dr. Tran!

Everyone's favourite action hero, Dr Tran!

Oh yeah, since this is my first post here, I guess I should say "Hi, I'm Pat. Not an alcoholic, and as of yet, there aren't any V support groups set up so I'm fine". Most of you all know me anyway as the non-sleeping, V drinking, yet-another-engineering-student.

Have fun with the exams kiddies (those that have them)....I know I will.
