but would rather rabbit on self-absorbedly. ๐
To start with small talk – gee, the weather has been good! Not freezing my tits off!
Been a reasonable week at work. Was gonna say good but that is too strong a word. But no dramas.
I have been for a run, plan to go for another – maybe tomorrow, def on Sunday. Will be doing the 4 or the 8.4k spring into shape with Jaykay. It is good therapy as I associate running with thinking nice thoughts about myself.
Today, I did a 90 minute lecture. 90 minutes, I tell you! I talked continuously for 90 minutes! No wonder my jaw was a bit sore at the end. But it rakes in 900 buckeroos for me. that is 100 bucks for 10 minutes. (well that doesn’t count the work that I did on the presentation). I was presenting to physician trainees at Melbourne university.
On the topic of Melb Uni, it has become far too sanitary. It is lacking the character that it had when there was no VSU and the lefties ran the student union. I only saw one hairy lady with dreadlocks! The kids were all very well dressed and all looked very clean cut with not a hint of self-righteous poverty about them. No gay couples holding hands. No interesting graffiti on the dunny walls. I used to enjoy reading that. And Donut King has taken up residence in the Union Building. Curses!
On the upside, though, I bought a can of coke zero and it was only a buck fifty.
I am currently finishing off a book called “A fraction of the whole” by Australian author Steve Toltz. A good read but a long one. I like reading, it is cheaper than shopping as a hobby! ๐
Looking forward to the weekend and to catching up with JK, though am on call on the weekend.
Have to catch up with mum, am taking her to see a movie. I think I just need to be there for her.
Melbourne Uni was a real cool place when I was there (30+ years ago that is), but it has changed since then.
Is there still hilarious and politically astute graffiti on the back of the toilet doors in the student union building? I could spend hours in there!
What, no graffiti, hope the same thing hasn’t happened at Monash!
