Making My Little List...

Tonight I am just going write a little list; kind of in the vein of The Mikado's Grand High Executioner. It's people who have annoyed me these past few days:

1. Victorian MP Tim Smith. He is constantly tweeting puerile digs at Victorian Premier Dan Andrews and calling for his resignation over the whole Victorian Covid-19 situation. Whilst I've seen snide tweet after snide tweet, I am yet to see any semblance of a workable solution from Smith. I don't have a solution myself, but I would suggest seeing what New Zealand did, because they apparently have it under control. I think their approach included listening to doctors and epidemiologists instead of politicians (funny that), and having funds available for mortgage relief etc to alleviate any hardship caused by the strict lockdown. Smith just comes across as a caricature-like, stereotypical entitled bratty private schoolboy with his finger poised one centimetre from his victim as he taunts, 'I'm not touching you!' I think Andrews has the shittiest job around at the moment, and can I just say it's probably NOT his fault that some idiotic security guard who was meant to be guarding those in quarantine decided he could no longer keep it in his pants, and boinked one of those meant to be guarded?

2. Channel 7's Chris Reason for tweeting that the 'Melbourne virus' has reached Sydney. Ugh! It's NOT the 'Melbourne virus'. This deliberately divisive and inflammatory language is helping nobody.

3. The arse-hat who had his headlights burning at an intensity that would rival a small sun tonight. I had to work in a nearby town and I encountered this muppet on my journey home. I knocked off work three hours ago, and the glare-induced floaters are only just dissipating now. Mate, I'm sure the population of of Tamworth knew you were on your way. In fact, I think the astronauts working on the space station saw you.

Well, that's me for tonight. Not sure what I might do now. I'm a bit tired - or probably suffering something similar to welder's flash thanks to the aforementioned arse-hat and his headlights. I have assessments to work on, but I will get into that tomorrow. Also, I MUST upload that PDF to Ingram Sparks. I have had PDF of the manuscript altered to remove the former publisher's logo. This is for Howling on a Concrete Moon. The other manuscripts will follow shortly.

'Bye for now.
