With mine, she could have held off for 5 seconds to allow me to finish parking.

And, naturally, I assumed the “■■■■ you” was directed at me…and usually well deserved, mind you.

No, not you. The lady (in mine and your cases)

So both your cars likely got keyed than?

Well, I did nothing to be keyed. She was the offender and I waited patiently.

My Villain was leaving.

Noonan was far more patient and much much less petty than I would have been

I was raging on the inside.

No, anti-semitic. (sic).

I wasn’t even going to mention the times my neighbour’s son parked across our driveway, even though there was ample parking otherwise in the street. In North Caulfield. And, yes!

A great place to learn to drive defensively.

This was from an article in the Warrnambool Standard yesterday.

They were reporting on an accident occurring just before noon and suggested the time was approaching 12pm.

Now what’s 12pm? We know that a minute before midnight is 11.59pm and a minute after is 12.01am. You can’t tell…and it’s why the 24-hour clock (or, as the seppos call it, military time) should be used on all timetables and anywhere near midday or midnight. It’s unambiguous.

And how do you do time sorts if you have an AM or PM suffix. We frequently had to sort in time order.

Midday is 1200, midnight is 0000

I’ve been loosely job hunting, as my new job is incredibly unsatisfying and boring me to death.

it’s a tale of 2 Worlds… 1 place I applied to in Feb for a role that is legit the best fit for me, didn’t get a call for an interview until a few weeks ago. I had the interview and I haven’t heard anything back since.

Another place, I had seen a job ad, forgot to reply, got a cold call from a recruiter about it, had another former colleague send to me out of the blue also. So I had an interview with them today and 3 hours later they’ve already called for a second interview…

This is pretty much the same scenario as my love life.

More cash, best job. Almost always given equal effort. Need to maximise shopping power!!

Also consider what is best on the resume for your next role which comes with, you guessed it, more cash.

Worked for me over the years.

Well it’s odd because job A, the ghosts, would look better on the resume, but job B pays more…

Could always hold out for something that meets both.

Yeah I know. Will see what happens.

Urgh, Noonan is correct.

Thank you.

But there are reasons why the 24-hour clock is better.
