1. So get_together is taking place on Guy Fawkes weekend, y'all. Who would walk up Mt Vic with me at 8 on Saturday? Are we likely to still be eating then?

2. My bitter, apolitical boss (politics self-described as right-wing fascist) was reading the PREFU today and – I shouldn't find it amusing but sadly I do – getting absolutely riled. Particularly, spending on Health and Education – the two biggest areas of expenditure - is predicted to not increase at all (in 2011 dollars) over the next five years. No changes at all. This is effectively (apparently) something like an 8 – 10% cut in teachers', nurses', doctors' salaries. This means health and education is becoming a smaller proportion of the budget (which does get larger) – i.e. health and education are lower priorities over the next five years. It's all sort of astounding and frustrating and it's added to my increasing feeling of desperation, fury, and incapacity. I just don't see what I can do about it and it's stressing me out.

3. Relatedly, [personal profile] hazel has been incandescent in classy political rage lately, highly recommended.

I might be up for walking up a giant hill, depending on how worn out I am from Morning of Study, Afternoon of Fandom. Also: thanks! :D

1. I am lazy and might... drive up Mt Vic? Depending on traffic? Not sure. (Ohh, I have ancient sparklers under my sink. Maybe I should bring them and see if they have any sparkle left in 'em.)

ETA: Dinner is scheduled for 7, so yeah, we might still be eating then.
