If I were a Twit(erer) ...

... you'd read such brilliance as this ...

8:17 am - Myki really? Even the ski lifts in Queenstown have a better card reading system ...

8:19 am - in fact so do Venice and Rome ... and Italy's government is basically broke!

1:18 pm - Just watched idiot cross road, phone to one ear, finger in other to block out the noise of the FIRETRUCK HE WAS WALKING IN FRONT OF!

2:23 pm - 8.5 years later and my boss still feels the need to tell me that dictation tapes need to be rewound before I start listening to them ...

3:59 pm - If you wanted it filed in Court before 4:00 you shouldn't have given it to me at the last minute ...

4:32 pm - Less than halfa until home time!

4:34 pm - e-mail from Dymocks, perfectly timed distraction

5:12 pm - Apologising for keeping me late won't change anything ... not coming in at 4:50 with urgent work might ...

5:18 pm - off to answer the most important question of my day ... has Astro put on any more weight

  1. Dictate THIS!

    That would be my tweet. Were I a twitteritteritterer.

    1. Breath deep ... remind myself I've chosen to stay for a good reason ... occasional whinge to The Sparky and the internet ... these are my new coping methods :)

      What is the right word for it anyway?

    2. Well of course ... shows how much I know about it!

  2. Really? What? You need to rewind the tape before you listen to it? Who woulda thought!

    Has Astro put on any weight?

    1. I know right? If I'm in the right(wrong) mood one day I'll share some of the other doozies he's been coming out with lately ...

      Sadly yesterday he hadn't, but he has every day before that for 12 days straight. A very big improvement from six months of going down and down and down, so we're feeling cautiously confident about things at this point.

  3. Tapes?? Tapes still exist?!

    1. Sadly yes, even in this world of old school lawyers who don't type, there is digital dictation ... but I still have to rewind a tape!

  4. Hehe sometimes I really wonder about some people on twitter! They really do tell us everything about themselves! :P

    1. I've browsed a couple of accounts before and there are definitely over sharers out there ... certain health bloggers come to mind ...

      Given that my default setting is normally fairly closed (except lately for some reason), I'd probably sign up and then never tweet anything ... except maybe the fire truck incident, I really wish I'd taken a photo of him.

  5. Haha my bf is a Queenslander and I'm always teasing him about how 'backwards' his state is compared to Victoria. I have to say, though, that their public transport is not only more reliable but their card reader systems work better than Myki. Another pro? You can actually top up on buses. >_<

    1. When we were in Cairns a few years ago you could flag the bus down anywhere along the route and it would stop for you, not just at designated stops ... a bonus of quieter streets I suppose ...

      I didn't ski when we were in Queenstown but apparently they were able to keep their passes in their pockets, ski past the reader and the gates would open immediately ... how did we end up with such a dodgy, expensive system?!
