I have become an MBA student! Specifically at the Chifley Business School, the programme in technological management is very sensibly designed, allowing one to complete a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and then Masters in succession. One of the matters pointed out at my last workplace performance review was that at some stage I'll have to choose between the management path and technical path. With postgraduate qualifications in technological management, at least I can become a manager and still justify having an interest in technical developments. Speaking of technology, which bank gets confused about some fairly trivial technical and security issues on their own helpdesk system?
Went with
caseopaya, Meghan, Erin and Jenny to see AvenueQ at the Comedy Theatre, an adult version of Sesame Street. Not quite on the same scale of purile hilarity as Meet The Feebles, it still is memorable for the classic The Internet's For Porn (youtube). Appropriately we ate at Mrs. Parmas beforehand (amazing how many people don't get that old joke). Also have booked tickets to the performance Servant of the Revolution next month.
Following that tangent (see how my life links together?), have written article on Revolutionary Reformism as an appropriate strategy in liberal democratic states on isocracy.org which will be reprinted later this week on LeftFocus. One thing that should be mentioned here is that said strategy certainly isn't appropriate for countries where the pretence of democratic elections is clearly a sham (read: Iran), rather than supposedly due to "false consciousness", or other dubious claims of leftist elitism.
Have added a few more RPG items to the list for sale on Ebay; more coming soon.

I'm going to see Avenue Q in a few days time. I've not been to anything like it, so I'm anxious and quietly excited.
I don't get it.

I was.. a little surprised. I was more surprised by the reaction of the email helpdesk people. I mean, they're supposed to be 'level 2'.
I don't get it.
"Mrs Palmer" is an old euphemism for male masturbation. As in "have you been seeing anyone?" "Only Mrs Palmer and her five daughters".
