Really Annoying.
Especially when they ring you at the crack of dawn claiming they need you or there world is going to fall apart, and you arrive only to hear the problem fixed itself, but thanks for coming.
Unfortunately, thanks doesn't give me that extra 20minutes of sleep i missed out on. As all young people know, 20 minutes of sleep can be the difference between a happy morning or a grumpy morning. Ah well, i don't feel too bad.
Time for the grind to begin.

Rant about the world, Episode I
What is the world coming to?
Every day, more and more of the natural environment is destroyed. Our society turns a blind eye to the obvious effects our rampant activities cause. All over the globe, decisions are made that says profit is what drives the globe. The constant struggle for world powers to become more powerful consumes the very soul of our planet at an ever increasing pace. We suck oil out of the ground, gas out of the oceans, destroy millions of hectares of forest all in the name of "development". How much longer will this keep going before things come to ahead?
Humanity still has a chance, but its a slim one. There is still a thread of sanity left in the ever growing moronic mindset of our Capitalist society. Some people that view the world like me, that can at least acknowledge that we as a race are destroying everything we hold dear. On a forum i frequent although my reason for originally going there has basically faded, i made a post about an amazing technology that has recently been developed in our very country. A technology that can generate fresh water and electricity out of Sea water, in large quantities with no pollution or negative environmental effects. If anything it encouraged the growth of Sea life around it. Read more about it here. Some people on the forum accepted it for what it was. But sadly the majority threw it out. "Unproven", "unrealistic", people refused to believe. Sadly i feel this is a reflection on society as a whole. People are afraid to let go of old ways. Even when they know they are wrong, people are afraid to move on.
This makes me think of the current Australian government. It shames me to think our country was stupid enough to Vote this government in Multiple times. I hate the Howard and his cronies for many reasons but the one i will mention now is there refusal to acknowledge global warming. Honestly would it kill him to lose a couple of bucks to ensure our country is at least contributing to the future?
Sigh... enough on this topic. I'm sure i'll rage about it again in the future.

Bordem, The meaning of life?
Work is so boring.
I'll admit I've never been one of those people that can just work for the love of doing something. Unless what i am doing interests and engages me, I struggle to focus. My biggest flaw, and in some ways my greatest strength. I wont ever be wasting my life in a dead-end job with no future. Insanity would catch up to me way before things got that bad.
But that doesn't help me right now. I mean honestly, how can imaging computers through Ghost Suite be anything but boring? Dont get me wrong, my job is great. Lazy hours, fairly low stress, good pay, nice people. I can see myself being here for a couple of years or so and really getting something out of it. But still doing this in 5 years time? I bloody hope not. But why you ask? Well too much of the time i am bored.
What is life really, apart from a never ending struggle to not be bored? Some people would say the purpose of life is to achieve happiness. Others would say its to achieve "enlightenment". Myself, i am not so sure about either of these theories. If you live your life in a relative state of enjoyment then you achieved your purpose. Who knows, maybe we were put here to make sure somebody, *something* else isnt bored? Who knows.
I do know, that right now i am bored...
