The weird stuff just keeps on keeping on |

 I can't believe the twists and turns that my life keeps on taking. Last weekend I had a lounge room full of pretty girls, but they were all way too young for me. Emma had a sleep over pool party at our new place! The trouble was the pool maintenance guy had been told to turn the pool heater off at the end of daylight savings and he forgot that it ended a week later this year so the pool was freezing. Swimming was canceled and replaced with a "Bring It On" movie marathon.
I have finally finished with the crappy landlords from my last rental place. I picked up my lease refund cheque today. In the end they dropped all of their stupid arbitrary and incorrect claims in return for me paying them $40 to remove the dead man ferns that they killed themselves. I know that you are aware of this web site Sharman and Stephanie so if you do end up reading this then you need to stop and have a think about the way that you treated me. I was the perfect tenant and you know that I left that place in far better condition than when I moved in. I hate to think how you would cope with a bad tenant. Oh, and I wish you luck getting the $310 a week rent (I was only paying $260) that I saw the place advertised for in the paper. No wonder it is still vacant. Maybe now you might realise where I was coming from when I offered you less than you were asking to purchase the property. If you had of accepted my offer you would have had the cash in the bank earning interest a month ago instead of an empty house costing you $310 a week plus rates, plus property management fees!
This next one I really should keep to myself. In fact the one person that I shared this with made me promise not to tell anyone else, but you know me, I can't keep my mouth shut! I remembered that I had to bring the work car home because I'm on call at the moment so this morning I grabbed the bus fare and shoved it in my pocket before walking outside and finding the car sitting in my driveway. I had completely forgotten that Emma, Brad and I caught the bus into town on the weekend to get it!
This one is a bit scary. The three parent reps on the Kingston High School Association (I'm one) have all been asked if we would like to present on behalf of the parents and the school community to the Parliamentary Standing Committee that has to formally decide if the Government will release the $30M promised for our new school. I've said I'll do it but I have to wait to see if the others are interested first. I've already done my fair share of meetings with Mayors and Ministers over this matter, but I reckon I will end up doing it as the President has said he would like me to put my hand up. Apparently the Principal, the Mayor, someone from the Department and the architects will all be presenting in favour of the new school as well and they want us all to give the pollies a tour of the existing school as well as the new school site. Aaarrghh.
