Roxanne & Ms Fitzpatrick

Image
Towards the end of 2008 I had this idea of going to Melbourne with Roxanne. Earlier in 2006 I became friends with her at Rotaract, a club for young people aged 18 to 30, and then I did leave the club over a dispute about who could do the flyer to advertise Camp Kookaburra. Roxanne had offered me to help her to design the layout, but then she decided to change her mind and gave the flyer to Leo another club member to do. So later in October 2007 just before I started to work at Kmart Sylvania she called me. I was happy to talk to her, and then I decided for us to go into the city and have lunch together near Circular Quay. During the year of 2008 we did have many outings together, and I did enjoy her company. But towards the end of the year she had another agenda. I believe she only needed my company, so she could get ideas about her own future. I had finished my Higher School Certificate, and had completed a semester in graphic design at St George TAFE. The course was never completed b...

Adelaide - AUSTRALIA

-
Back in 1984, Salman Rushdie had the opportunity to spend some time in Adelaide, and he was quite taken with the place. At the time, he described the town as "... an ideal setting for a Stephen King novel, or horror film." Since then it's become pretty popular to bash Adelaide, and with good cause. But there's no need to film a horror movie in Adelaide, because Adelaide is the horror movie: a dull zombiescape, peopled by elderly conservatives, suburban mouth-breathers and drug-addled recluses, where bizarre homicides take place with alarming regularity (about one really creepy mass murder every decade). HOME OF THE FREE AND THE BLAND: PEOPLE AND CULTURE Free settlers, Adelaideans (or addlebrainers) are proud to disclose, were the foundation stone of Adelaide. Not common convict stock, sentenced to a life of hard labour and unrequited buggery in an uncharted land for petty theft, as were common in the rest of Australia, but free, adventurous spirits who actually chose ...

Unseen Utzon - YouTube

The Danish architect, Jørn Utzon was dismissed by the minister for public works, Davis Hughes he rejected the committee who were the client and Utzon. The contest requirements for the Sydney Opera House that Eugene Goossens (conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra) and Charles Moses (general manager of the ABC) had planned was that the major hall was to be used for large-scale opera and symphony concerts, and the minor hall was to be used for dramatic presentations. Utzon at the time when his modest office was on the building site intended to paint his acoustic ceilings in different colours red and gold for the opera theatre, and blue and silver for the drama theatre. The minister believed there was corruption on the building site, because construction had taken longer than expected to be finished, and was costing more money than what NSW voters had been told about. The problem with this 3D animation is there's no pipe organ in the major hall, and it isn't really known how p...

In my life passive-aggressive behaviour

-
In my life I look back, and I know that I was bullied at school, and for decades I went over the situation like a broken record over and over again. I had visited a psychologist at Miranda back in 1997 to try to find an answer to this behaviour, but was unsuccessful. Then in 2011 I studied for a Certificate II in Retail at St George TAFE for the first semester, and this is when I found out about passive-aggressive behaviour. In my retail course I had studied this behaviour, but at the time I couldn't connect this behaviour to the situations that had happened in my life. I did finish this course. Some people believe that everyone has this behaviour as part of their personality, but I believe only a small group of people have this as a mental disorder. People who are passive-aggressive believe that everyone can behave like this, but the reality is they don't. Most people are assertive. So passive-aggressive people show no concern, and get other people to act on their behalf for t...

Australian JobSearch complaint: From July to August 2016, Robert Watson another provider decided to update my Job Plan to be at the office once on any weekday to apply for 12 jobs a month, which is 36 jobs for three months. CatholicCare at Sutherland told me that Johnny Grujovski was sick, and this was the reason why Robert was doing this, but you couldn't take sick leave for two months. I asked Johnny who was making the appointments, and he told me it was Robert, so I decided to email him a message because I needed in writing evidence about my complaint. Early November 2016, Robert decided again to update my Job Plan to be at the office twice on weekdays to apply for 24 jobs a month, which is 72 jobs for three months. This was just harassment because I can only do casual work, and my work capacity is less than 24 hours per week because I'm in the Disability Employment Services program, so after five months of this harassment I made a complaint to Australian JobSearch by late ...
