Hi again...
I think the word for the week will have to be "sporadically" - a "Clueless" reference, but also good to describe my work on the blog!
However, the advantage to infrequent postings is the easy availability of news for each post. :)
In the interim since my last post, I have taken up a position with Volunteering SA (not, I might add, as a volunteer!), so I now have some longer-term job security. The job involves managing our Volunteer Referral Service (we collect volunteer positions from member organisations and advertise, and also interview and refer potential volunteers).
I have also purchased a new car; I'm currently trying to find a name for it. It is newer than my last one (a VF Valiant named Vincent) - a 1971 this time, rather than 1970. But I'm continuing my record of only buying cars older than me, lol! This car is a VG Valiant, white like Vinnie but with a black vinyl roof and interior (all original). It also has the utterly desirable venetians on the rear windscreen, and a front sun visor - also vinyl covered. It's a V8 (always attractive!), and is a Regal 770 - the luxury sports model with a tachometer, lol. Quite wonderful, if you happen to be a Valiant - or even just old car - enthusiast.
My previous car was stolen from the street outside my house, which was annoying at the time. But, I'd been looking to sell it anyway, so it wasn't an insupportable blow for me.
That's the big news from my life; my thoughts haven't really been on education much of late. They've tended to focus on the war in Lebanon, my job (volunteering is one of the cornerstones of a civil society, of course...), and the debate regarding the Australian Government's proposed changes to the immigration laws. I will try and post something about these issues over the weekend - if I can coax my home computer into working, lol!
