Yep! The heading pretty much sums up what I’m about to say. It’s that time of the year again when things get pretty damn cold here in the smallish town I live in down under and the letters start rolling in for WHAT! Bloody car Rego, CTP, pink slips…. Bills bills bills! And the flu! Getting pretty sick… don’t get me started on the seasonal sickness for both my wife and myself.

 

Putting those things aside, I’ve had a good couple of weeks in my new job, its weird, good, but weird… I guess what makes it so weird is that now I have to see myself as a professional, four years at university and I thought yea! A job in the field is going to be awesome; I’m going to make a difference! I still have that feeling I guess, but actually being in the field now.. I feel a little inadequate, and 2nd guessing every move I make, because after all, I am working with people, vulnerable families that are relying on me to make the right choices. That kinda stresses me out at the moment, but I’m hoping it’ll all become routine over time, and the feeling will pass. I know no one is judging me, or assessing me now, but being self aware of the consequences for not doing my job properly plays on my mind, and that’s why I think right now, I’m asking my boss lots of questions, checking on whether I am saying the right things… I guess I just want to get it right the first time. I’ve had one client so far, and received another today, Its been a good start I think, and I’ve done the right things… so I must have learnt something at university during those awfully painful 3 hour lectures!

Some things though that I’m looking forward to in the next couple of weeks is seeing The Adam Hill Show with my wife in Canberra. For those who don’t know Adam Hill, Google him now! He is a damn fine funny comedian that uses a interpreter!

This following Youtube Vid, might give you some idea on what we will be in for!

I also plan to put some time in posting abit more, seeing as things are settling in well for me at work. But for now…

 

Mad Morro Out!

To do

So recently I’ve been thinking… if i knew i was going to die in one years time, what would be my list of things to do before i die?

As I’ve been thinking about this for awhile, i decided to make an actually list, mainly for the sole reason for me forgetting things so easily!

So here it goes, my list of things to do before I die…

(Some of these things aren’t to be taken too seriously… just saying)

  • Have my portrait painted.
  • Wear a shirt that says “Life.” Whilst handing out lemons on a street corner.
  • Skydive
  • Own a Parrot and teach it to say, “Help! I’ve been turned into a parrot.”
  • Learn to speak a foreign language and make sure I use it.
  • Become a Doctor and change my last name to Acula.
  • Watch the launch of a space shuttle
  • Run into a store and ask what year it is… when somebody answers, I will yell “YES! It worked!” and run out cheering :P
  • Brew my own Beer.
  • Be an Extra in a Film
  • Send a Message in a bottle.
  • Travel the World.
  • Drive a Lamborghini or Ferrari.
  • Discover my life purpose.
  • Spend a week on a meditation retreat.
  • Learn to dance… (because I’m a hopeless dancer)
  • Try new foods, that I would have never considered eating in the past.
  • Climb a mountain.
  • Cuddle a drop bear… and live!

Very Serious Threat in Australia.... :P

  • Visit Uluru
  • Try Zorbing
  • Go through with a childhood dream
  • Visit Korea
  • Practice Taekwondo in Korea
  • Experience Weightlessness

I’m sure that I have heaps more, however they will have to be on another list for another time. :D

I’m Sitting here, trying to move past onto the next sentence of Alternative models in perspectives on policy making.. and its just not happening for me.. Social policy bullshit. Too many distracting things, I have better things to read about than Etzioni model, which while criticises the rationalist approach, implies that from time to time a broad scanning be undertaken to check for distant but obvious dangers or problems whilst allowing the generally incrementalist nature of most decision making to continue. SEE!! this stuff just gets stuck in your head and makes noooo sense!

I’ll leave you all with a humorous News article which I found to be very funny, and would approve of if i was in that man’s shoes :)
