Freedom!

I've resigned as President, as an executive member, as the Media person and web developer and even as a member for Prosper Australia. This is, mind, having finished a politicians "re-education" pack, a "simple message" leaflet, three websites and giving necessary details for staff members to organise an event.

This is largely due to the inability of one (almost full-time) individual in the organisation to give clear instructions on what they wanted in areas of their responsibility, and their refusual to take direction from others when they had the authority to do so.

So rather than engage in what would be the equivalent of a long and portracted IR dispute, I simply left the organisation. It is probably easier to implement the ideas of Henry George outside the organisation nominally designed for such a purpose.

This does mean that I currently have no permanent work. Financially I am more than OK however; there is close to $10K in my savings account, I have another $20K in "incoming income" (invoices, loans etc) and my rent is paid for the next nine months.

Summer days approach ;-)

Enjoy the summer. Wander, discover and delight in what I hope will be pleasent days.

Sounds like some relaxation in your future...

I can think of worse ways to spend the summer.

A friend of mine quit his job last spring and has since spent his time (and savings) wandering around the States, looking for old highway signs, retracing historic highways, posting handmade replica shields for old U. S. highways and so on. His journal has been a fascinating travelogue if you're into that sort of thing, even if he's wrecked two cars in the process. ;-)

I'm enormously impressed that you have paid your rent 9 months in advance.... Why???

I agree life is too short for putting up with that kind of crap!

Well have yourself an awesome bunch of time to do with as you'd like. :)

Sounds great. I envy you :)

I'm very jealous! Enjoy your time off!

Summer Holidays.

Excellent. Sounds like something I would do :-)

Forgive my intrusion, I just couldn't help it.

My name's Kahat, pleased to meet you.

I enjoy browsing journals overseas, and over a period of six months, I would frequently come across your journal or you would comment in a community I would be reading on. I find you fascinating and I get a very good feeling from you. would you mind terribly if I added you, it isn't in my nature to simply add someone without asking for their permission first.

Also? congrats on walking away from a job that wasn't serving you, I envy you and your girlfriend for the fur babies you are collecting! I love rat kids and ferrets for the intelligence they possess!
