Superhuman powers and me.

So I just had coke splash into my eye. Somehow whilst drinking from the can, as I removed it from my mouth a few drops of coke climbed my face, hurdled my nose and found their way into my eye. This left me to ruminate (and shed water from my eyes) as to what the seriousness of this situation actually is. Will coke chew out my retina? Will it sting for a bit but the pain eventually fades away? Or will I be left with 20/negative one billion vision, with this coke bringing a superhuman power out of me? Could I be the human link between man and telescope? Imagine tracing your ancestry back to find that your great great grandmother was two pieces of glass and a bit of plastic.... Interesting thoughts to ponder, and even more interesting mental pictures of what my great great grandfather would have been like being intimate with a piece of machinery.

Well it seems that my eye stung for a bit and I feel a few left-over effects but no incredible vision of being able to spot a dollar on the moon just yet - but I'll keep you all updated.

So it's been a while between blogs, and I do apologise to all my faithful readers. So let me fill you in with what I've been up to.

The other day I had to make a little visit into centrelink, and walking there from my work was decidedly not a good idea. As I crossed a field, wading through the long grass I had plenty of time to decide I did NOT want to be wading through a grassed wasteland in Beenleigh that no doubt contained snakes with syringes in their mouths and spiders weilding broken beer bottles. I pressed on though.

I eventually made my way into the centrelink office and stood in queue to hand in my work hours for my yearly Youth Allowance checkup. Time passed slowly as I stood in that line with future serial killers, students and drunkards (and an odd few who actually just needed a leg up in this world). It really made me think to myself: "Maybe these people would actually have some time to find a job if they didn't have to spend all their time in line at centrelink?". But that's not how centrelink operates! If you're not standing in line, you're on the phone on hold, or on the internet waiting for "maintenance" to finish. But at the end of the day I can't gripe too much...because I actually HAVE centrelink and as much as I hate them, I'd be screwed without them....who knows...what with only a Griffith degree, I may need centrelink for the rest of my life!
