Maybe this blog should be called "See You Next Month"
Well I have allowed my slackness to delay updates to the blog again. So here goes the condensed version.
Firstly, Worf is doing fine. The first few days after the op he loathed me and would cower from me which I guess was fair enough. Despite the loss of a limb he is now much heavier than the skeletal wretch he was when he reappeared. He is a bit sooky but that just means he is more sociable (especially when he needs to scratch his left {hind-legless} side). His leaping abilities have gone from "what the hell are you doing up there, no, don't knock that off you bloody cat". To laughably pathetic, falling short, going sideways or clinging on for dear life. Mon accuses me of spoiling him just because I cater to his every need and put things out to help him climb rather than making him have to leap to places he wants to get to.
In other news I am getting two paid days work per week at the zoo until the end of the year. Which helps ameliorate the financial dificulties Worf's op caused.
Went along to anti-IR rally and will be joining the relevant union for my job tomorrow. Having experienced and heard about some less than ethically upstanding (possibly even sociopathic) employers, I am of the opinion that we should cater for the lowest common denominator which the new laws don't. In addition to this, it seems that advocating strikes and civil disobedience, which is part of the plan for the anti-IR campaign, falls well within the bounds of the proposed anti-subversion laws (bit of a coincidence eh). FURTHER POLITICAL RANTING DELETED AND WILL BE EXPANDED APON ONLY IF REQUESTED OR TO REPLY TO COMMENTS (unless of courseI get worked up about things and need to vent) DUE TO A WISH NOT TO ALIENATE MY FRIENDS AND/OR SOUND LIKE A PRAT OR A CRAZY PERSON (possibly a bit too late for that {in which case Fuck you Howard I hope you get head cancer and die in agony and madness and the sooner the better})
Otherwise everything continues much as it usually does.

Glad to hear Worf's doing okay, though I have not the slightest doubt in my mind that you are, in fact, spoiling him rotten, the big sook.
Don't worry about alienating anyone over the IR thing. Let's face it, you're pretty much in the firing line of the proposed changes, and they're likely to fuck you over a long time before anybody with permanent full time jobs (especially overpaid bureaucrats in the public service, like me). My guess is that before next year's out, most of us will come to realise that we have a moral obligation to be very, very angry indeed.
NSW zookeepers have been given a fairly sweet deal, letting us get away without signing those gods-aweful AWAs until (at least) 08. Not sure if you're in the same union as me though...
rant away. i doubt you'll find m/any who disagree with your rants. I'm not sure I agree with the head-cancer part though... it might be a little better to hope that Howard has to work in a real job, in which he gets a boss who cares about the Australian economy, and negotiates the AWA accordingly.
Might not happen this life, but that's the good thing about believing in reincarnation: it lets you believe that people will get their karmic reward.
