Not a chance.

I briefly considered moving to the area many years ago, there were a lot of government incentives to attract skilled trades, and I'm an electrician. Seemed like a good deal, until I got a look at the never ending list of godawful bugs you people have that all seem intent on gruesome death.

Please, the bugs are the least of our problems here. The only thing you really have to worry about killing you is the cost of living  :emotrex:

Seriously though, it's a pretty safe country.

I'm going to have an interesting night tonight. First night back after two nights off due to medical issues, then - in the morning, after I get home from work - I have to go in for a CT scan at the hospital.

At least I managed some productive crap while I was up tonight. Got a replacement pump ordered for the spa, can't wait to get that back online. It's Jacuzzi weather for sure. Tacked  a couple thousand words onto a novel in progress.

So I tried to sleep like a normal person last night, but the old lady was splorfed all over the bed, along with the bigger dog. Tried the couch, no joy. Ended up playing the summers slowest night of cards, five hours at the table for less than 200.

Then I get home this morning and she tells me "I didn't even notice you left last night!", yeah, cuz you were busy imitating Ayers rock, in the center of the bed. rassafrassa.

True that.
I had a really nice night chatting in a café with a friend who had noticed me being bummed out about stuff. So we talked about what bummed me out, ethics, sense of life, our student paper and jewellery.
Café closed at 4, so I took a taxi home.
Now my sleep schedule is gonna be FUBAR for a few days, I guess.
Totally worth it.
