Just to depress me even more this week..
I have a “back to work interview” on Tuesday. I’m supposed to bring all my evidence of job seeking. Except most places don’t even reply to anyone who hands a CV in anymore. I HATE LIFE.
clearing out my photobucket and found this. Proof I am a bit special. And shouldn’t pull stupid faces. Need a name badge.

I have a “back to work interview” on Tuesday. I’m supposed to bring all my evidence of job seeking. Except most places don’t even reply to anyone who hands a CV in anymore. I HATE LIFE.
After spending 4 Christmas periods working at Matalan Washington (where Christmas starts in October before the Halloween stuff!), listening to a tape full of Christmas songs on a 2 hour rotation for 8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week while working on returns (i.e let’s shout at this girl in her early twenties since she clearly is running the show in Matalan PLC)…you start to associate them with aural pain and the least jolly times ever.
I’m not even sorry.
I could not sleep for the life of me. I had noticed my friend had tweeted about downloading a piano lullaby app on her iphone to help her sleep, so I had a look on the android market.
I ended up downloading and used an app that plays various noises on loop to help you sleep (waves, rain, a fan, thunder, train, airplane (?!), windchimes, white noise (!?!?!?!)).
I feel a bit odd about this. I settled on waves anyway…technology eh..
Perth Zoo invites you to take action in a new advocacy campaign called Don’t Palm Us Off that seeks to change food-labelling legislation in Australia and New Zealand, mandating the labelling of palm oil on all food products. So why is this so urgently necessary?
Approximately 6,000 orangutans are killed per year and the United Nations warns that orangutans could become extinct within a generation. The primary reason for the orangutans’ habitat being destroyed is the increasing demand for oil palm plantations which results in large-scale clearing of rainforests in Indonesia and Malaysia. Over 85% of the world’s palm oil comes from these two countries.
Don’t Palm Us Off is part of a national campaign urging visitors to sign a petition – via postcards, an interactive touch-screen at Bukit Station or [here] – to mandate the labelling of products containing palm oil. (via Perth Zoo)
Attention Aussies and Kiwis
It’s interesting, I was just watching a programme the other night where palm oil was mentioned: In the UK, “unethical” palm oil is used by all four of the top confectionary brands and probably by most others. A company in Hull managed to source an apparently “ethical” palm oil, but the companies weren’t buy it, despite them being aware of it. Anyway, it should stop.
So yeah, anyone over there should get involved with this!
