I wasn't going to do another vlog, but I guess it's a good medium for showing stuff off. My friends don't seem to care, and since I'm isolated from them I guess I can share more using video.
Sorry, no open source bear hookers in this edition.
Does anyone else love Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire?
And there is this psycho family of Australian Magpies living outside, they keep attacking everyone. It only started this week, my landlord said they will stop by December! One attacked his wife on the weekend, nasty. Wikipedia says they can attack your face, I'd kind of like to keep mine thanks.

Having a full time job, I get 20 paid leave days of annual a year. The days are given to you pro-rata, which means you save them up during the year a couple a month, and then can "spend" them in chunks of your choosing.
I have already spent four leave days this year, which leaves me with 16 come January 2009. I also want to spend five days in Christchurch come December, and a couple of days in New Castle, Toowoomba, and Brisbane over Christmas.
Troy and Richard have proposed we go to Melbourne for a week in January or February.
Now because I want to take all this leave in a short space of only three months, I need to plan how much leave I can take, utilising weekends and public holidays (which are aplenty in December and January) to the fullest, while still being in the places I need to be on the date I need to be there.
On that note, this is the last Christmas before we all transition into the world of full time work, and the leave dilemma faces us all. It wouldn't be so bad had I got a job in Brisbane, where my social life still lives, but the fact is the logistics to get to Brisbane is to get anything out of a visit, requires at least one day of leave to be taken.
