wow - maeve o'meara has the best job in the world.... just watching all the food she gets to learn about and eat...
*presses stop*
do a blog first, then watch the turkish episode...
far out i had some mad dreams last night/this morning... really crazy and weird, all sorts of combinations of places and people
like one scene where i'm in a bunnings store, in an aisle full of doors, with vin commenting about why the top rack of stock doors are a mess, as i'm walking along to jump into a car being driven by sharon (who i used to work with at data entry) who is on her way to work and parking in some new building, and her daughter comes in to park next to us as well.....
and then soon after that - there was me, waving at the 'camera' of my dream shouting out "hey, you can stop all this shit if you wake up right now!!" - and then my brain started to wake up and realise it was some sort of instruction from myself in my dream.... and then i opened my eyes.... then i closed them again thinking i could go back to sleep 10 seconds later, but i was still there waving at the camera telling myself to wake up... so i had to get up out of bed, go for a walk (admire the beautiful dark foggy morning) and have a drink...
my nasal patch was still attached thankfully at that stage (would've been about 7.30am i think), so i took it off and went back to bed to rest for a while longer.... until about 9.45am anyway :-)
this afternoon i went to check the mailbox and got a large a4 package from the administrators of alutech - the second incarnation...
a stapled booklet of about 40 pages about the next meeting of the liquidators and creditors to try and get some more remuneration for the works the administrators have completed in the last 12 months...
it was a bit depressing to read through it all... and even more depressing of a reminder of the money i'll never see as i did work under my abn, so i wasn't an employee this time...
jay's a c&nt... he really didn't do anything different the second time he did this business... was still a prick, still abusive, violent to most people, involved others on the outside, and did everything he could to put the fear of his own self into each and every person, cause he thought that would be the best way to motivate people - i.e. do the right thing, or i'll kill you...
i was only there a couple of weeks before i decided to throw in the towel the second time, and it cost me 720 bucks... ah well...
the world of construction in victoria is led by mafia and bikie gangs, and that i can tell anyone for an absolute fact, having been caught in the middle of it a few times...
from small businesses completing jobs on worksites, the unions, right up to the construction companies employing the contractors/businesses to do the work on the site.... they are all (well 95%) full of some sort of corruption and involvements of the underworld...
it's through these jobs that i worked, that i learned job security is no longer possible... as long as there is someone bigger than someone else, someone is always going to get screwed to the wall, and it doesn't matter what governments do, or who is in power, construction is about the money and power of those in the business.
i like to forget about the money i have lost in recent years from these places, because it will only remind me about how much of a better position i might have been in today - but that's hindsight, and there's no point in persuing that train of thought...
all in all, it's been a nice day at home, nice cold weather, beautiful fog, tidied the house a bit and changed bedsheets... made some nice food and ate lots.... listened to some vinyls and cds as well...
back to work tomorrow....
and as yet i haven't heard back from my builder about replacing my hinge doors...
push on, push on.....
oh and push play for turkish food now :-)
