Just two more points and the Hawks would have knocked off GWS.

So disappointing 😞

Just last week, John Quiggin released a book on pretty much this exact topic, called "After Neoliberalism".

You can download the eBook for free, or order a printed copy here: https://press.anu.edu.au/publications/series/global-thinkers-series/after-neoliberalism

If you're interested in an in-depth look at the economic and government policies that erosion of the middle class happened, it's worth a read.

Restaurant reservation made for next Sunday, flowers sorted.

I mentioned to wifey not to make plans for next Sunday.

"What's happening next Sunday?" she asked, then looked it up.

I think she'd forgotten, and took it as a less at hand subtle hint 😂

Thank youuu 🥰

So yeah, no more @ing half a dozen people on every reply.

(Yeah, that one was starting to annoy me too!)

Yeah, my partner gently teases me about it.

I'm generally okay with heights. Like, I can be out on the balcony of a 20th story building, no worries.

But. There's no way you'll find me above the second- or third-top rung of a ladder.

(There's only one handywoman in our house, and it's definitely not me 😆).

A few more thoughts from someone who's of an age where it's no-longer polite to ask how old I am. (Let's just say some of the songs I listened to in high school now play on Gold 104 🫢)

Anyway.

The job you start out in won't be your forever job.

And there's a good chance the industry you start in won't be the same one you retire in.

Lots of people start in one industry and then later go back to TAFE or uni. Or decide to start a business. Or end up working in a profession that's different to the one they studied for.

I've done it, and so have plenty of other people.

Say you start off as a teacher, and decide after a few years that it's not for you.

Well, chances are there's a lot of soft skills that you'll learn from teaching that will be valuable elsewhere.

And don't worry that you haven't figured it all out yet. Heavens knows I still haven't!

Hi everyone, just a quick heads up that I've created an account on Aussie Zone directly, instead of cross-posting from Mastodon.

So if you've noticed my username has suddenly changed, that's why 😊
