In the span of just over two months, the City of Newcastle has lost six people. Out of a staff of 27. Serving a citizenship of 10,000 people. I forget what ratio that exactly works out to, but basically it’s this: one little Japanese man fighting Godzilla with a garden hose.
Three positions (including mine) were eliminated due to budget cuts, one was fired in an all-out back-stabbing political FARCE, one resigned in protest of the former, and one I understand was a retaliation that happened just yesterday. That last one has me just as shell-shocked as all the others, and I’m at such a point where I don’t know WHAT to say, except for a few choice instinctual words.
The ones I can repeat go a little like this:
CLAWS. STRANGLE. GARH! **Dagger eyes**
It’s a little goofy. It doesn’t really have a ‘theme’. It’s just whatever I'm thinking about today. Most often, it involves my very geeky tendencies and job planning events. Sometimes it’s silly, sometimes it’s serious and sometimes it’s sad.
