It's Been A Long Time Coming.

Well i've finally figured out how to post shit on here (I've had a link that I went straight to for ages. I don't have the net, but slingshot should be coming through soon... Well here's hoping.

I've been elcted onto the VUWSA executive at vic uni. There are five positions up for grabs. I want activites, thats why I went up for the elections. I manage bands, promote gigs etc. etc. I know what goes on and I know how to do it. Yet one thing stands in my way. The woman (thats what they are now, not girls like at high school, feels weird, I'm getting all big and old now!) who came first get's her choice of the five positions. Obviously she's decided she wants activities, mainly cause she thinks it sounds like fun. Yes i'll admit there are soem great aspects to activities, yet it's definatley a hard job, full of lots of routine donkey work..
Hopefully this gets all sorted out and we can all live peacfully. Otherwise I guess i'll just end up pissed off for the rest of the year. Gotta get myself a sign saying "don't create excessive tension in this year's exec" so as not to enact a repeat of last year (thats assuming that there really was conflict and not plain uninteresting laziness on behalf of some members). Having got to know a few of them, while at the same time making damn sure to stay out of them (unlike some current members of the exec who have caught colds from those intimate relations and passed them on to the rest of the student politicians) I can safely say that I get on well with pretty much all of them.
Bunch of newbies that they are you gotta lay two things down

a) don't write letters to salient, you know how you laugh at the retards who write stupid eye-rolling letters? Well people consider you one of those munters as well, the less amoo you give them (letters are one form) the less they're opinions are confirmed.

b) don't try to fight salient atleast until the second half of the year. They enjoy fighting you as they have nothing else to do, as well as it being good training for their future job in journalism. Also remember that they have a forum for addressing student's. To get through to them you have to usually go through Salient...

Anyway now that i've finished this and found out how to post I can now reclaim my description of being a blog.
