The mental outpourings and general happenings of an awesome and super hot guy from Canberra!

My place of work has left me wholly unfulfilled in the time I've been here. That's a little over one year now. In that time I've had one week of training for my real job, and one week of training for a volunteer position designed to take up 5% of my time. Tell me if I'm being silly, but I would imagine that if a 5% job get 1 week training, then surely a 95% job gets two weeks training. I don't understand, but I really want to feel as though the work I do here is valued.

On Thursday I got Super Smash Bros Brawl. It's better than I ever expected it to be, and I love it! I haven't even looked at the PS3 since getting this game, such is its appeal. I had some mates and my brothers over and we were playing for over eight hours in a mostly-continual stretch. I'd love to do that every weekend.

The PS3 landed in my house without much of a splash. I've got a few games that came with it but I haven't really touched them. I can't help but feel that first-person shooters on consoles suck. As a result, I played Resistance: Fall of Man for about half and hour, and haven't touched Call of Duty 4. Is that a mistake? Maybe I should give them another chance.

Working out what I want in life is a pain in the arse. I'm happy in my relationship, in my house, and in my lifestyle. I don't feel a need to change any of them. I do recognise that were I to purchase a house now I could pay it off in about 20 years, though it's unlikely that I'll stay in one place for that long. As long as my income increases at a rate greater than that of my living expenses then I'm set. I don't want to be one of those people that bitches about interest rates and the cost of living. I know it's expensive, but I can handle it. If life is so expensive then sell your damn car. I can do without one. Teach your kids to catch the bus you whiny bastards!

I cannot abide useless people.

I have to wonder how much my life should change to suit another person. I don't have a "life plan" right now. I'm working and saving with the intention of going on holiday. I'm considering going to university. That's all for now, though. Nothing else comes to mind as something that I really want to do. Getting a house would be good as I'd finally have my own place. I could modify it, paint it, and mistreat it and the only person to care would be me. It comes with a very high price tag ($300,000 for a PoS 2 bedder in Whoop Whoop) but with a bit of bargain hunting I could get a place I liked, just for me. And her, of course. Maybe I should do that. Maybe I should find out exactly how much money I have and get a house. I've only got an estimate, but I know that I could handle a mortgage of $250,000 or less. It might be a pain, but I already know where I could get an extra  $210 / week. I have recently discovered that is quite a lot of money. Moving out will do that to you.

It's ten-past nine and no one else in my team has shown up. I wonder how long they'll be.
