i heard this song on the radio today. its really random!

Dead puppies
Dead puppies
Dead puppies aren't much fun
They don't come when you call
They don't chase squirrels at all
Dead puppies aren't much fun

My puppy died late last fall
He's still rotting in the hall
Dead puppies aren't much fun
Mom says puppy's days are through
She's gonna throw him in the stew
Dead puppies aren't much fun

Dead puppies
Dead puppies
Dead puppies aren't much fun

Dead puppies Dead puppies

Do you think eating a nectarine for afternoon tea makes up for eating a whole chocolate bar?

Christians cannot study Maths

And while I'm at it, complaining that is, some "un-religious" people can be so ignorant and prejudiced! I came in to work this morning and one of the ladies was talking about a Seventh Day Adventist Wedding she went to, and she mentioned that the groom was doing a PHD in Physics and Mathematics. The boss called out "but how could a religious person do that? Wouldn't it contradict his beliefs?" and then they started sniggering about intelligent design.....


Oh gee, I believe in God, I couldn't possibly be involved with mathematics! It might compromise my belief in creation.

I do not believe that people who study the sciences couldn't possibly align it with religion, Christians aren't dumb!! And there are plenty of people out there who don't have to agree with everything they hear - for example, a person who supports the greens can surely take a class on NZ politics, listening non-abusively to talks on our Labour past.

And then, I overheard a discussion on how the pastor at the wedding had talked about how Adam wasn't decended from Monkeys, and the Bride didn't come from lucky slime, and they all started talking about how ignorant "religious" people are about evolution and science!!

And everyone thinks that its only Christians who are prejudiced and dumb!

love me, love my.... rats!??!

I just found this signature on the bottom of a client's email...

"There is something quite adorable, and so cute, so loving, so gentle,
so loyal and so appealing as a little rattie Love me love my rats."

Please join me in saying "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT......"

A post!

Goodness! A blog post by Michelle, you say. About time! Well you see I decided to sign up to be able to email posts to my blog, and I know this technology has been available for eons, but up until this morning the thought hadn't really occured to me. What brilliance! What simplicity! Instead of writing long ranty emails to my friends, I can just post them on my blog for all to read. Yes. The ease.

Anyway, I finally have something to post about. Although there have probably been things to post about over the last six months, I was just too busy to stop and post them! For those who haven't experienced it, planning a wedding is hard work! And now that I am married and all the planning is over and done with, I have more time to whinge... er I mean Post.

I am bored with work. At least I had a hobby to go home to over the last six months, rather than getting up at 6.15 to get ready for work, 7.45 going to work, 5.05 coming home from work, 6pm making tea, 8pm making lunch for work, and 8.30 going to bed so I wont be as tired and headachey at work tomorrow. Hurrah, how exciting. Why wasn't I born a mathematical boy? (A boy who was talented at mathematics) Any career could have been my oyster, instead of being born a girl who liked history, research, and languages, forever destined to be out of a job that she could use her skills in, instead - working in administration.

All is useless! All is vanity! I must go. I have hundreds of pages of photocopying awating my nimble hand (and sore neck) and fifty more boxes of files to label (that apparently should be done 3 per hour, rather than the one per day I was so proud of). Aah life. Being grown up isn't always what its cracked up to be. With it comes responsibilities, bills, loans, debts, the necessity to work to earn a living, cooking meals, doing dishes when you're tired, and sleepless nights trying to think up schemes in which your time and skills can be better utilised.

Only 9 minutes of work to go. Thank God I've made it through another day. I could be working in a post centre!
