waitingmanBack from a roadtrip down the south coast of New South Wales... checking out the area where we'd like to retire some day, with a few acres & a menagerie of animals & people
All signs are positive &, actually, there are a few places down there where I could possibly find work in my industry, meaning that we could head down there sooner, rather than some day later
And enjoy the views:
On another subject, it's been interesting seeing the way the #metoo movement has spawned the #notallmen counter-movement... where all the 'nice guys' try to convince womankind that we're not all sexist rapists
The (not so?!) funny thing about it is how indignant these notall men get, when women don't immediately shower them with praise & fall over themselves to go out with such a paragon of enlightened virtue. In the case of one notall man I peripherally know, it was almost amusing to see how quickly he went from extolling his aforementioned virtues, to roundly condemning women for not seeing how wonderful he is &, as above, not wanting to be in a loving relationship with him right now, dammit!!... thus, of course, proving nearlyall women's point... And really, after all, why should you be praised for simply meeting the required standard? If life was your job, would you really expect a performance bonus just for ticking the box marked 'manages all tasks adequately'? It takes a bit more than that to catch the Boss's eye
