Thanks (((( lisalou ))))!
I hope that your meeting with your adviser on Friday goes well. ( Please remember that not all bureaucrats are evil! Some are just baffled, would-be-superheroes who sometimes have difficulty finding their own desks.!

Unfortunately, that is not a figure of speech. I got into work this morning and was a little surprised to find the room almost empty, instead of containing a dozen or so people doing the initial sorting and counting of post as would usually be the case first thing in the morning. I'd been there about five minutes before a co-worker of mine appeared and explained that the initial sorting and counting of post was now taking place in a different room. Apparently, this had been decided yesterday. I'd had the afternoon off, and the decision had been taken after I'd left!
So, you see? Not all bureaucrats are evil...Of course I am talking about bureaucrats who DON'T work for the benefits system...

I'm looking forward to:
Starting to re-read the third book in E.E. " Doc " Smith's Lensmen series. ( Will Kimball Kinnison track down Helmuth, arch-pirate of the spaceways?!

)
The result of the Australian General Election. ( I'm rooting for the Australian Labour party's leader Julia Gillard. She was born in Bridgend, South Wales, before her family emigrated to Australia. So, as far as I'm concerned she is still Welsh

, and therefore SHOULD be Prime Minister of Australia, rather than Kevin Abbot, who is not Welsh at all

. )
And, the last Monday in August is a public holiday! Yay!
