Today's whinge

I did night shft on Saturday night/Sunday morning. I worked from 10pm until 8am. I will be paid for a ten hour shift. BUT I WORKED ELEVEN HOURS BECAUSE OF THE DAYLIGHT SAVING ROLLBACK. I didn't get paid for a hour's work. Sheesh. And it was an hour of Sunday penalties (75%). Damn.

Transperth have these new SmartRider cards. Even though travel from my train station to the City or to work is within the free transit zone, I had to buy a SmartRider card ($10) so that I can get on and off the train in the city. Evidently I forgot to swipe off at my station one day. It cost me $4.70 credit off my SmartRider. Dammit.

Enough whinge.

There's a Wife Swap "Partner Edition" on TV. This means that one of the "wives" is a gay man. His new family is a "tradiotional Christian family unit." Dad openly admits that his new gay wife "will have a hard time here because of the hatred that's around in this area towards 'them'." Bigotry at its best. Not as entertaining as Extreme Makeover but should be fun. Fat Mum says, "there's hope the gays can change." Fat Dad's wandered off in the middle of the night to get advice from his Pastor because, "I can't let this get into my home. Having that in my house means that I'm welcoming sin into my house." On the Pastor's advice, he chucked the partner out of the house!

My new sofa arrives tomorrow (assuming that Freedom don't fuck up the delivery). I had it upholstered with custom fabric.
