Inland Tsunami, and Other Tragic Events

Hello all,

Firstly, Friday nights (well early Saturday morning to be accurate) dam wall failure. You will do no better than checking out Dilli's piece. Unfortunately maintenance in this country is not valued at all. The mindset is..... use, use, use ..............................deal with it when it breaks. Sadly that comes at a huge cost!!!
I believe that maintenance is an investment, it's not a guarantee, but a hell of a lot better than playing ostrich and hoping like hell!!!

Enough said!!!

Well the GFC is wrecking havoc through my international company. The share price, well lets not go there.................subsequently this means the bean counters are in the ascendancy, looking to slash costs which BTW only seems to mean peoples jobs. Well a recent victim has been my Admin Manager who finishes tomorrow, but will stay for an additional 2 weeks the complete a hand over. No performance issue, I was told she had to go. On the positive side she is bright and capable woman and now can access a payout which should set her up pretty well for the future.

It's a bugger (well much more than that really) when through no fault of their own people suffer, either the tragedy of the dam or loss of an income. Well I'm thinking that my stint in this wonderful country maybe very close to over as well, I luckily enough can scoot back to the comforts of Australian suburban life, rather than worry where I will live or what will I eat for the next few months/years.

Sometimes things just suck!!!!
