Uhhh, Quarto and Steampunk? What's wrong with daylight saving and the Olympics. I'm not a sports freak like some people around me, but I also feel a little sad that there isn't going to be anything more to do with the Olympics until Athens.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Well I don't have anything against the Olympics per se. It's just that - Australians being sports freaks - everywhere you go, there's a mention of the Olympics, this was happening long before the Olympics started. They also decided to rearrange everything around the Olympics, and I mean everything. Even universities rearranged their schedules to accomadate it. All this mention of the Olympics drove me and many many other insane long before the Olympics actually started.
However this Olympic stuff wasn't totally a bad thing, I did get an extra month holiday during session to catch up on work, though some people decided to waive this right and now they're so totally screwed, and trains ran on time for a change.
Wedge: I live in Maroubra Jn. Which reminds me, the frickin torch went right by my place. It was a bitch trying to catch a bus. People were standing in the road while there was traffic just to catch a glimpse of the torch. Several people were pretty lucking not to have gotten run over.
