Damned Paperwork

With all our exams over, we now head once more into the breach and find ourselves...up to the neck in paperwork. Ok, so that was exaggerated, but with all these signatures and returning of books, I'd say an extra day wouldn't hurt. You think some time is important in getting this stuff done, but no, they'd rather get it all rushed in a few days, rather than sacrificing a few hours on the holidays. I know there are over 1000 students in school to organise clearance forms and timetables, but rushing everyone kind of sucks. At least this time, most of the school have done it theoretically and only year 11 and a few others have to hand in the clearance forms. But seeing how FEMA mucked up the New Orleans disaster, I don't have much hope for this. This school can't plan nor organise even if their lives depended on it. I'd say the deputy principal or head of administration should get a degree in "strategic managment".

Now with all these hurricanes zooming around the Gulf of Mexico, it's no suprise that scientists have managed to link stronger, more destructive hurricanes to global warming. Bloody hell, you can link almost anything to global warming. Anyway, this means that we've all got to do something and with the rise in petrol prices, I have an idea. This German dude has developed technology to power cars using dead cats. Well not just dead cats. It's a secret recipe combining garbage, mashed-up cats and other stuff. He has managed to pull out a whooping 170000 km with this "bio-fuel". Obviously, animal rights groups are pissed, but who gives a damn? They're dead cats and they aren't getting any better. The price? 23 Euro cents per litre, which is 47 Australian cents per litre. What's the price of fuel right now? $1.48? Around there? LPG is around 50 cents/L but you can do, what, 300-500km max. We need this cat-powered bio-fuel! Put on them supertankers and send 'em over!

And on the other weird news front, this 38-year old, blonde Italian woman has been fired from her job of teaching religion to children because...she is too attractive. Of course, the local church said it was because she was divorced, but come on! What the hell? Suddenly, you can become too sexy for religion? There were also reports that fathers took their children to those classes so they could check her out. Who cares? As long as the children get their daily dose of God, about being nice and everything Jesus Christ, it doesn't matter. The woman just wants her job back. Obviously, feminists are going to have a field day.

*sigh*
