Aggression should never be a tactic to get where you want to go. I think I have figured out a driving force within my company and it’s disappointing.
Bought tickets to Vietnam for six weeks next year, should be good times
I definitely prefer shitty clips
So today I broke my first bone, got my first stitch and am going in tomorrow morning for my first operation all because i took some old toe clips off my bike……nailed it.
This rare fish is called Benten’uo or Pacific fanfish (Pteraclis aesticola) and recently (28-nov-2014) appeared in Toyama bay, Japan. Is very rare and most likely seen as stomach content of large predatory fishes, such as tunas. Young probably inhabits shallow, adults deep water.
The species is silvery, blue-greenish to black with bright blue dorsal and anal fins. The genus name comes from the Greek word “ptera“ meaning wing and ”clis“ meaning shut. The name refers to the impressive dorsal and anal fins of this species and presumably how they retract into scaly sheaths along the upper and lower margins of the fish. It grows to 61 cm in length.

Current Thoughts
I bite my lip when I concentrate and I have been biting it so much lately I now have a re-occurring ulcer there…
….
A couple of weeks back I lost of my dog, when I buried him I physically could not hold myself from crying when I pulled his body out of the body bag, its been many a year since something like that has happened.
….
Work is ridiculously full on, all I hear whenever I tell people about it is that im so lucky to have got it and I guess that’s what I say to people. To be honest though I hate the idea of being locked into something for six months (even if that is relatively short), I dislike the fact that a major part of my job is following systems and protocol that i have to put onto other people.
Finally I still don’t know what to do after this six months
….
Going back about half a year to a year ago..
What the hell happened to make everyone just take off with all these commitments, there was no gradual increase, literally in a couple of months everyone became so busy.
Maybe perspective wise I am only remembering all the free time we had?
Anyway shits busy, there is moments where I enjoy this chapter but then there are moments when I don’t.
….
My mate told me a quote not too long ago about work which I thought was cool, I can’t remember it or find it but this seems to suffice
“This world is a place of business. What an infinite bustle! I am awaked almost every night by the panting of the locomotive. It interrupts my dreams. There is no sabbath. It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work.”
Thoreau, Henry David
I got offered a full time position as New South Wales technical assistant in Biosis (the environmental consultancy I work for).
I said yes.
It’s only for six months but I probably will have the option to extend it if i’d like.
I’m going to have a lot more money than I have had previously in life, but I’m not sure how I feel about it. I never liked the idea of falling into a 9-5 job, this job is heaps variable and I will travel a bit around NSW, while still doing field work, but still.
Am I the standard working class now?
Also, should I do honours next year? Is the value of honours worth more than experience in what im currently in?
I want to work overseas so will honours get me closer to that? Or will environmental consultancy.
I’m reading a book called ‘Into Thin Air’ by Jon Krakauer at the moment, it’s about climbing Everest and even though I have little to no interest in climbing Everest, it’s making me miss just trekking in general. Why can’t I do that for the rest of my life?
We’re all getting older.
It’s super fucking windy outside
I figured out why the front door was creaking, it was because a window in our apartment was open so it was creating a vacuum sort of thingy in the apartment.
I swear for the past two weeks I have been a apart on an episode of desperate house wives or something. There has been a load of drama around me everything from work to mates. Its calmed now, which is good and im not going back to work for a bit which is fantastic.
I’m going overseas for the first time ever next week, so I guess I should be excited, but I think I will be more so when I actually get there. I was reading an article today which was talking about New Zealand being a ‘gold mine’ for photos (which is pretty obvious), so I will be investing a buttload of my time into that.
In other news I think one of my jobs at university will have finished by the time I have returned from my great expedition, but hopefully I will have a teaching position for a subject available to me to cover the hours lost.
Being out of uni is still sort of weird, although I have three jobs I still feel like nothing really matters in terms of responsibility and…… its a weird…. feeling I guess. Anyway New Zealand I think is going to be a relaxing pause for everything and the months following will prove interesting with job prospects etc.
Home is beautiful.
So I think im doing Honours next year now on plant-animal interactions in terms of pollination. Weow
Arguments suck.
