Had a reasonable day - but just had it topped off with a phone call saying that I had failed my eye test FUCK. Not surprising, but like I can fucking afford new glasses and new contact lenses plus the fucking optometrist fees at the moment. God I am pissed right now - I fucking try to do things right and no one in this fucking country (apart from a few friends) seems to care or is making it any easier.
Anyways, to the day - less stressful on the actual learning front. LOL social appointments were Sharon, Ann and Mel (sans mohawk) for before work, Rachel for morning tea and lunch, and Sharon and Ann for afternoon tea, and chatting to Rachel and Jo on the walk to the train station.
Notes for today - Rachel's partner is called Christian, and he is in real estate and off for the weekend (first Saturday he has had off in two years) with some mates to Cairns - Sharon's partner is called Damien and she is still comparing Oz to NZ far too much, even including the fast food as not good enough LOL - Jo has been here twelve months, is still getting to grips with Brisbane as in directions and suburbs etc and prefers Kiwis to Aussies... didn't really talk to the others today.
I'm still steamed about that prescription thing - will wander into a website to see if Medicare would cover any optometrist stuff even if I were an 'official' Australian resident. How many times will I have to relate my Medicare are being bastards story?
Hmm, teleportation may be possible, if this story is anything to go by. Will read more later am glazing over here.
Okies, got too many windows open, got about twenty joke emails clogging up my yahoo account, they are fine usually, but I'm just not in a lots of joke mood.
later taters
