Apparently someone in my neighbourhood complained about not getting the melbourne weekly magazine last week because I was on holiday. The manager had sent someone to replace me but it seems like they didn't do their job.
It's nice to know that my work actually has a positive impact on other people's lives, no matter how trivial that may be.

pancakes
Since I haven't blogged in a while so don't really know what to talk about, I have taken viv's advice and will try to blog about...pancakes.
Truth be told I have no idea how to make pancakes, or for that matter have much knowledge about them in general, except for the fact that they are nice to eat when combined with nice toppings like icecream and syrup.
...and that is pretty much all i have to say about this topic.
I also got chased by a dog at work which was kinda freaky. It was making a racket when I was delivering junk mail on its side of the street, then when I was delivering on the other side I see a white dog bounding across the street right towards me barking the whole way.
Okay in truth it probably didn't look as aggro as that but it was still pretty freaking having a free dog rush at me like that. It didn't exactly chase me all the way down the street but it was enough to make me ditch my trolley once i realised it wasn't just going to stay near the house.
From that point on I kept seeing/imagining wierd things in the darkness, like a rat or some kind of wierd creature, to the point where my yelp actually scared some girl who screamed inside their front yard or something.
Uni is draining.

Orientation
Orientation was...interesting.
In terms of actual information intake, I'd rate today a failure. All I really got was another vague tour of patches of the campus, some more info on union/club pricing, and a few random flyers promoting anything from non-atheism to same sex marriage. The only lecture I went to was a new low: about 'academic expectations', it had just about every study cliche you could think of- active learning, get enough sleep and exercise, and some other random stuff. In truth, the most beneficial information I got today was where I'd get newspapers from.
On the whole though, today was a good day. I caught up with a few old friends from school days and saw other classmates around the place, and heard about science O-week camp 'events' which were shocking and funny in equal measure. People said that I should've been there, but I think listening to the stories I was better off at home, and besides if I went I would've missed an awesome party on Saturday night.
Finally sorted out my uni timetable, which is looking good despite having to go in 5 days a week and having straight lessons from 11-4 on monday.
Work is also getting better; I've finally figured out how to stack my papers in the trolley so I don't have to wrench out magazines, and with a consistent route i've minimized time wasted pushing an empty trolley home. It also seems far less strenuous than it used to, so perhaps it has increased my fitness!
not a bad day at all.
