It seems to me that there are two types of people. Left people who are totally left and right people are totally right. There does not seem to be much of a middle ground – thats where I fit into the picture ;)

I’m rambling; earlier on in the evening Amber called me selfish because as a potential employer I think I should be able to legally trial employees up to three months as means of protection. Now, if the employee does not meet the expectations of the job and expects to stay on at my expense then I say the selfish person is not me but he or she.

My responsibility is to create a really good brief, that way the employee is not put in a position where they may not meet expectations – if they dont think they can do the job on their own merits to begin with then they are less likely to waste their time or mine.

Ambers argument was that I should check up on this person more thoroughly, but why should I go out of my way (aside from the usual checking of references etc…) I’m not a police officer. If somebody lies to me, or even exaggerates themselves then that alone should be grounds to ask them to leave – and you cant butter that one up by saying that they are ambitious. The truly ambitious people are the ones taking the big risks – like setting up a business!!!

I’m not saying that this type of legislation is perfect, I’m sure people would take advantage of this law, and that really sucks, there will always be people who ruin it for the rest of us.

It kind of depends what side of the fence you’re sitting on. As a young and innovative entrepreneur trying to make a go of it the last thing I need is to have the hassle of writing warning notices to somebody who clearly is not up to the job.

I sometimes wonder if the people opposed to this type of law would be so opposed if they saw a loved one get done over, or similarly while on the topic of politics go through the pain of a seeing a loved one get raped or killed by a violent criminal who’s out on parole, I’m not saying kill em all. I’m saying there has to be a better way. I guess the current system is great if you live in a bubble ;)

Man it’s freezing! I’m at home, nothing new to read online, all I feel like doing is writing. On my way here I thought I might ask Jay if he’s keen to remake an old Sierra game in Flash. If he made the tiles over a longish period of time I’d do all the donkey work in my spare time mapping it together. Could be fun! We could even make it multiplayer!

Anyway this morning I had a nice coffee with Red. We talked through some stuff – these are a few of the things I associated with where my head was at.

Car sliding out of control. Car on the ice sliding out of control.
The chains on a swing in a park untangling, spinning fast. around and around.
Stop.

Another might be that dizzy feeling after spining around and around. Muslims do a dance where they spin around and around, there arms up in a gesture of worship. For them they are closser to god.

I guess we all go through shit. You know that. I feel a lot better now. I’m ready to get back to basics and be funky.

I cant wait to see Amber, I’m going over to Melbourne on the 31st. We’re staying at her freinds Kevin & Charlotte’s place. The first thing we’ll be doing is seeing Spider Man 2. Awesome. Ok maybe not the first thing, we have people to meet and places to see. Cafe’s, galleries, and another culture. Man it’ll be nice! I’m looking for to visiting the 12 apostles, the film festival. Seeing Steve (pulling his leg) and meeting some of babe’s friends. Sounds good I know!

I dont feel good. Sometimes it is so hard to do the right thing, or even know what the right thing is! Fuck! I’ve said and done a number of foolish things in the past few months and I am really learning the hard way. But that is still learning. And I am learning.

I cant sleep! I dont really want to sleep. But I do though. I’m irked!
Why? Because they always fuck you at the drive-thru!
