The Rain

So I pick up the guy that was helping me take inventory , and we drove out there and started to pull the equipment out of one container and started counting. That was when the clouds rolled in so we decide to pull the equipment in, then all of a sudden this huge gust of rain blows passed. There was nothing to do but get all the equipment in the container as quick as possible then I realised the window to my car was open

>.<>.<>.<>.< once again

So we waited in the rain and the cold for an hour while this guy came. When he came he tried to pick the lock, which he wasn’t able to do, so he pulled out the back seat and went in that way, in the mean time I was being bitten by ants.

So we went home once the back seat was in and we drove home we realised the damage of what was later described as one of brisbanes worst ever storms. When I arrived home I went to bed for some much needed sleep. But I woke at 12:00am by my mum yelling my name and telling me to come down stairs, when I got down there, the pool had filled and flooded the downstairs of the house so we had to try and empty the pool which involved running the pumpwhich happened to be out in the open.

So there I was out in the open in the middle of the night in my undies getting rained on trying to run this pump…..

Party

So after the exam I planed to go out but for some reason ended up on laptop writing emails for my project in the mean time I convinced a friend to come out. My friend turned up a short while latter and by that time I had found a game called fantastic contraption http://fantasticcontraption.com/ and was then officially procrastinating. From what I hear you ask?? I had just finished exams.

Well the simple answer would be the party I had organised, but what I hadn’t thought about was that I was carrying my laptop around, so first I had to ditch the laptop. I took my mate to home and ditched the laptop but while we were there he noticed the pool, so we had to take a swim. Unfortunately I forgot about the scab on my back where the stitches had been taken out. It got all soggy so I had to find someone to help me clean it up afterwards. Anyway we got out and got ready to leave.

We reached the city and met up with our other friend, who was not impressed that we had left her waiting, and went to a bar. We began to talk it up and drink it up, at which point my friend decided declared he would find sake at any cost, so when we were finished we went in search of sake. And ended up at a bowling alley where we found another friend so we kept drinking and then went bowling. After we were done we ended up at an irish pub and in the wee hours of the morning we went home

Ahhhh home sweet home :D

So I woke up at 2pm, that didn’t matter to me I had finished exams but I had to be at work soon so I had to get going…

(in this period I went to work)

After work I met the guys from the night before at a club but I had driven in so I couldn’t drink so I danced the night away. I drove everyone to my friends place and went to sleep there. I woke up at 11am cause apparently I was taking bowling girl home for a soccer game after 1pm. I wasn’t even thinking I just kept talking till about 15 mins to 1pm and then she said are we going ? so we left. I went home for some extra sleep and then once again I went to work

After work I went out again cause you know the party isn’t over yet

So we danced and drank like there was no tomorrow my mate had to leave early so it was just me and the girls so we just kept going…….

Morning light came and we were “asked” to leave, so we went and got breakfast at pancake manor :D and then at 9:30am it was time to go home so I went home and realised I had things to do so I organised all my internet stuff tried organising shipping for my project, and then went out to the containers to take inventory at 2 pm, Man was that a stupid Idea….

After Exams

So it all began with the second in a series of exams for my degree. Now I have been asked by many people what degree I’m doing. I am doing a degree in mechanical engineering. Now this doesn’t mean I am super smart, but it does mean that I will disappear quite often for what would seem like no reason at all and then just appear out of nowhere. Now this exam was for Dynamics of Machinery which dealt with all the maths behind moving parts, more specifically links. You know like that little arm the pushes the train wheel round and round and round.

I went into that exam and absolutely smashed it with minimal preparation. For some reason that seems to be the way it happens. I will do nothing and assume I know everything until the last minute where I will frantically wiz around like I’ve been popping pills since last Tuesday. Anyway the exam was done so the only thing left to do was to study for the next exam and that is what I did, I got out of my exam at 4:30 pm and had until 8:30 am to prepare for the next exam and unfortunately these things, we have to do sometimes.

So comes the next morning …

I arrive at 6 sharp ready to study cramming like there was not tomorrow, and my god was I out of it… there was nothing I could do, except for study, so that I did. The exam was for Industrial Engineering and covered things like how to maximise production without sacrificing aspects of production, In other words optimisation.

So I had my little study sesh and then it was time…

I walked in there and answered every question :D

But again I had to study, so off I went to the computer lab to study once more… >.< . When I finish my study for the night I catch the train home, so I walked to the train station. I had missed the train and had to wait half an hour to catch the next train so I sat there with a giant book reading. Every who walked by took a squiz, it felt awkward but eventually my train came, so I got on train and off I went.

The next stop, a guy who was pissed as fuck, hops on and then sits right next to me. So I think alright if I leave him alone ill be right, but the guy starts to talk to himself…. Very loudly and then started to talk to me telling me how books don’t get you anywhere, he told me to get a trade and to get some real work and stop wasting my time reading books :S

So I spent the next 15mins telling about engineering and he came up with everything imaginable until he said except bosses don’t like it when you tell them how to do things, to which I replied “but we are the people who tell the boss how to do everything” and he just shut up. That was it I got off the train, drove home and went to sleep.

Once again I wake up 4:30am ready to catch the train into the station with this giant book cause it was an open book exam. I find my self once again trawling through this book so that I know where info is and can get to it easily, and once again, the time comes to go off to my exam. This exam though was my last and I couldn’t wait to get out, So I wrote and wrote and wrote and I got to the last question and “pens down”…

I'm Back

so... i have been writing a post to cover everything that has happened since my last post and it has come out a bit long so as i will be away over the next few days in melbourne for EWB National Conference, im going stagger the posts so that its not so huge..

the first will be at 8:00 pm tonight AEST +1 (brisbane time)

I Am A Libran

I recieved an email this morning about star signs and how accurate their descriptions are, (it was one of those chain mail ones :P) this is what i got:

"LIBRA

Nice to everyone they meet. Can't make up their minds. Have own unique appeal. Creative, energetic, and very social. Hates to be alone. Peaceful, generous. Very loving and beautiful. Flirtatious. Give in too easily. Procrastinators. Very gullible."

So i thought to my self "ohh c'mon thats too broad". So.... now (yes right now) i am going to find out more.

First place, Wikipedia..

Physical traits

Many astrologers believe that each of the twelve signs has identifiable physical traits. Some of them consider that physically, individuals born under the sign of Libra supposedly tend to have a graceful figure, a charming appearance, refined features, a high forehead, and a 'trademark' dimple. They are often very good looking individuals and use their good looks well."

As i read this i think... "this is a little better, more descriptive and actually almost on the dot" So the search continues.

Fom a site that says Traditional Traits of librans

"Diplomaitic and urbane
Romantic and charming
Easygoing and sociable
Idealistic and peaceable
Indecisive and changeable
Gullible and easily infuenced
Flirtatious and self-indulgent"

AHA!! this one i think fits Most of all....

"The Bright Side
The Libran personality is one which is easy-going, charming and pleasant and for whom relationships are all-important. This sign above all simply cannot do without other people and so makes an excellent host or hostess.

Devious
What Libra wants, Libra gets in the end and all kinds of devious ploys may be used in the meantime. But a reluctance to dirty their hands gives Librans a steak of laziness which may mean a delay in getting their many plans off the ground.

Harmonizer
The basic Libran urge is towards finding balance and harmony with other people and they will often do this at the risk of losing sight of their own needs. A Libran can get caught up in' people-pleasing' but makes the ideal diplomat always prepared to negotiate a settlement between warning factions or to propose a peace treaty to squabbling partners.

The Dark Side
The famous indecisiveness of Librans means that they either sit on the fence and wait or swing widely from one point-of-view to another. So it is not most reliable of signs and is often accused of being two-faces. It is perhaps less well known that Libra is also a very self-centered sign which always insists on its own way.

Peaceful
Libra is also a sign which values peace - often at all costs and which is very fair-minded so that other people like being around Librans as they will always seek a compromise if an argument is threatened. However, those dealing with Librans should remember that things are not always what they seem because Librans can be so minded, charm the birds our of the trees! "

BAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!! maybe the star signs are correct???

and finally with one last note this piece.

"Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was a smooth seductress who was at her best amid pleasurable excess. Well, Librans are certainly carrying the torch for her today. The Scales are cultured, refined and love beautiful things. Most of all, they love beautiful people, which is why Librans do so well at cocktail parties or at the theater, opera or ballet. Those born under this Sign always have the right thing to say and know how to make others feel comfortable. Suave? You bet. Librans are so adept at charming conversation that they need to be mindful of overstepping their boundaries and appearing vain or gossipy (the Scales do love intrigue). When these folks are on their game, however, they are a pleasure to be with. Librans are artistic, stylish and enjoy creating a beautiful world. The converse of this is that bored Librans can become apathetic and lazy -- but they'll smile anyway.

The Element associated with Libra is Air, and that means reaching higher, specifically to the higher mind. Librans like to put their mind to good use, and enjoy communicating their thoughts to others. They like to use their smarts (and talk) to get to know others better -- yes, knowledge about people is where it's at for Librans. You can expect the Scales to make a fair argument, too, since they live by the principles of diplomacy and compromise. When this approach doesn't work, however, Librans are not above using their persuasive charms to get their way. Manipulative? Nah, Librans really are too nice for that. Plus, any end-runs that these folks use are usually to build themselves up, since the Scales can be easily deterred. Librans are polite and don't like to fight, far preferring to talk things through. Remember, these folks know how to communicate (they're Air) so they're bound to make their point. Librans don't get in a huff when faced with an opposing viewpoint. Rather, they take a deep breath and consider all the options in the spirit of cooperation. "

one down three more to go...

so today i finished my first exam,

i think i aced it :D

i have my other three exams on tuesday, wednesday and thursday which will be interesting, maybe.

i can't remember the last time i had enough time to sit down and post something, let alone post it at like 8:30 but i dont think i want to bore you with my petty emotions after the onsaught of posts i writen lately.



the US elections are tomorrow...

woo hoo, finally its done for another four or so years.

i think its going to be interesting to see what happens now.



there were these two guys at the bus station today and there was a massive line for the bus because it was late, anyway i couldn't stand up and wait because of my stitches so i went to sit down, in the mean time the line got longer and longer, finally the bus came...

so i get up slowly and hoble over towards the bus and in this time one guy in the line decided he would call me up on it

"are you right" i thought he was asking if i was ok
"yeh mate, ill be fine just as long as im able to take a seat"
at this point another man decided to interject
"oi mate, don't cut, there are people who have been here longer than you"
"look mate, seriously, get to back of the line" the first man said
the second man looked at the conductor and said "hey this guy is cutting in"

the conductor looked at me and remembered me from when i sat down, looked at the guy and just said nothing.

anyway these two decided to take it i not their own hands and push in front of me even though i was walking at half the pace they were, so got into them.

"you fucking twats, where do you get off telling me to go to the back of the line would you tell an elderly person or a cripple to get to the back of the line... you fucking wankers"

these 2 kept walking and ignored me, and the bus was full so i couldnt get on

"yeh keep getting on the bus... dickheads, you'll get your fucking comeupance"

so i thinking the next bus isn't coming for another half hour take a seat again and as soon as i sit a new bus arrives. so i get up and go to the bus, i look inside and it is empty.


moral of the story, the dickheads got theirs cause they had to stand and i got a seat

also to make it sweater, the bus i was on overtook theirs, so double win

ciao xoxoxo
