money's too tight to mention

Ugh I have about a gazillion bills pilling up, I'm not allowed to work because my surgeons don't know what they're doing next so I get the fun of hoping I can some how scrape the money together for it all.
This is really starting to piss me off
Centrelink gives a pitance, I assume to motivate you into working
but as I'm not allowed to work for medical reasons I get screwed over.
It's so freaking frustrating.

til next time!

Is social networking killing your social life?

Has it really come to this?
Instead of formally inviting someone to something via a lovely hand written invitation that had to be sent a week before the actual occasion, has it really come to this?
2 hours before the actual event happening sending a mass invite on Facebook.
Gee how personal, that must've taken nano seconds to invite all 374 friends off facebook to your BBQ, I wonder if they'll all remember to bring a plate of food?
Hardly

So I rock up to this BBQ (and if you're wondering, no I didn't take a plate of food) to find that out of the 374 friends you invited via facebook only 5 have shown up, 3 of which, you live with.
Apparently Fall Out Boy were too busy to come to your BBQ.
I mean seriously, these days it seems even if it's a formal event a text message 3 days before the event is supposedly good enough.
Well not in my book!
Til next time!

wireless broadband USBS and Australia

I'm here to discuss wireless USB's and Australia.
Why?
Because wireless internet makes life easier, with some companies cheaper and well I don't tangle myself in cords

Unfortunately for me I live 5 minutes out of Hobart CBD in Tasmania, which crosses Three network off my list. I am also told that whilst Dodo, Optus and Virgin are still sold in my state that there is hardly any coverage and where there is coverage it's pretty poor.
Vodafone and GRL network (a subsidary of Vodafone) have coverage where I live but there's huge blackspots and it quite enjoys dropping out atleast once an hour. That said quite quick when it works as well as economic.
Telstra has great coverage but the prices are sky high for example $30 for 225MB compared to $29 for 1.5GB with GRL, so not economical really for university students, unemployed or well anyone earning under 50k a year.
Lets face it.
Australia + internet = fail
til next time!
