1200 Techniques

Today, I was called in to work at Kelvin Grove Assignment Helpdesk, cos there were 1200 assignments due in today, literally. Something like 27 Units had assessment due in today, some units with three assignments each.

Strange things happened today, that don't normally happen.

Regular customers, like a man named Nimrod Bobis, handed in one.
A woman in Wonder Woman PJ's came in to hand in an assignment.
Three people lost their assignments completely because of a faulty floppy disk.
One Lady's printer at home blew up so she had to rush in to print out at uni.
All three printers in D Block ran out of paper. (1500 pages in total, these printers are refilled every three hours)
3670 staples were used.

I shall write more and post photos later.

Hell is a carpark with no spaces

Woke up early this morning [yawn] at 5am so that I could get parking at Kelvin Grove. Got to KG at 6am and found that there seemed to be a whole lotta construction work that just decided to happen today, and that work seemed to have started 10 minutes ago. There were no 'no limit' parks left, and so I had to be content with a 4 hour park. Which means that I'll have to go home before I come back in tonite for my final soundâ„‘ lecture.

Anyway. Only people with cars will empathise with driving around in circles looking for a good park, especially somewhere where its hard to get one. What we need is something like Skyparks offers:

I'm going to buy one one day, along with the JB Hi Fi I'll take up to Cairns.
[Sigh] Now all I need is for the magic capital fairy to come and sprinkle venture dust on me. :-D

Scourge of the Earth I say

The pictures of the bike will be coming soon, as soon as I'm home while there's some daylight and Aaron lets me borrow his camera. Say, Saturday?

I got 131 on a "Super IQ" test from a company called Tickle.
Point 1. Don't take a test with "Super" in the title seriously.
Point 2. Don't take a test from a company named Tickle who offers you a free newsletter containing Hollywood gossip seriously.
Point 3. Don't take a test which asks you "Which staple fits in this stapler?" seriously.
Point 4. Don't take this test.

I was just thinking... the number of blogs now operating is reaching 'Scourge' level - that is, the numbers have gone from two, to four, and now ten. My 'Links' section is almost the size of the Greater Brisbane CBD, so much so that I'm considering introducing a public transport system to navigate it.

Anyway, have fun using my site as a portal to other's blogs, its a rather dweeby yet fun community.

The Mystery

Oft-times I find myself pondering over the identity of the author of Wentworth and Friends.

People outside of student life will not know what I'm going on about, but I have a suspicion that there is not one singular culprit, but three.

Yes. Wentworth. Gordon. Fabio. Three imaginary (well they're alive I guess, in a way) friends, three separate writing styles.

I smell a mystery my friends, and it smells a little like burnt peas.

Post comments with guesses as to their real life counterparts. Considering I know who owns the flashlight, it might be a bit easy.

I lead a boring life

Sorry about the lack of posts... nothing much has been happening. My motorbike arrives tomorrow (I bought one) so I'll post up some photos of it then, but until then... I don't have anything much to tell.

Ooo, I had my KMB619 (Music & Sound Technology) performance today, that went pretty well I thought. I hope.

Apart from that, I'm about as interesting as furniture. Isn't that right, Jess? :-P
