Oz Comics on Depression

There's a neat article at OzComics about Depression. It's neat, not just because it has a reference to a Queer Stuff strip of mine, but because it gives good advice (hint hint, to some depressed LJ friends of mine).

Really Really Really COLD day!

Took Pegasus for a walk this morning. He wanted to come home after only getting past the chip shop at the roundabout (so we did). Don't bloody well blame him. There was a heavy mist and it's F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G here!

I was going to go down to Warner's Bay today to see if anything  had happened about that job cataloguing books. I could phone, but after hearing reports of the Esplanade (and elsewhere in Lake Macquarie) had flooded, I though it might be better to go in person. Considering that Morisset, where the book warehouse is also located flooded - I might not have anything to catalogue!

Today's Weather

Doesn't look that bad - yet. the forecast for the Hunter gives:

Forecast for Friday
Showers increasing, tending to rain towards evening in the east, with local moderate to heavy falls possible. Chance of thunderstorms in the east with possible small hail. Light variable winds becoming moderate to fresh east to south-east and strengthening on the coast in the evening.
Newcastle:   Showers increasing to rain. Becoming windy later - Max:   16

Can't be that bad, can it?

Job

Went to Warner's bay earlier today to see about that job (an took Kevin with me).

Spoke to my potential employer at length. Looks like I might have employment - provided he can afford me. I need to get information about award rates to him, which I should be able to do by Monday. He has a lot to clean up and organise after the storm, so it might take a while before this job becomes real.

HOWEVER:

• The answers about the origin of the TAROT are wrong (Tarot originated in the 15th century based on the poetry of Petrarch).
• Some of the answers have more to to do with Wiccan myth than historical fact.
• I have no idea what the answer to question 20 is!

Cold and Wet

Gasp it's just been so cold today. And now it's wet. Not that this is the storm that last Friday was, however, with a saturated water table, it won't be good either. I was planning to do some comics tonight, but I think instead I'll curl up on the sofa next to Pegasus.
