It's actually funny just because she is such a massive caricature unto herself. Some of her more comedic quotes: "I didn't have to go to college because I'm naturally smart." "This place would fall apart if I weren't around." "I can't be friends with the boyfriends of my female friends because they'll fall for me and I don't want to 'steal' anyone's boyfriend." And, when speaking of almost anything positive that's happened around the work-place for the ultimate in Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy irony: "They wouldn't have installed the parking lot extension if it weren't for me. I told them I was going to quit if they didn't (see delusion #1). They had to." The woman constantly smells like a wet dog, doesn't wash her hands after she uses the restroom and is as fat and lazy as a diabetic cat.

ARGH hate people like this: Had one at a cafe i worked at a while ago who had eerily similar quotes of glory...

one of my favourites from her which is not on your list was:

"I can't go to the gym or i lose too much weight"...

she was not at all skinny either..

Law is one of those things which seems to require an eidetic memory for written language on subjects otherwise uninteresting, but it does make for upper level management material in the corporate sector, the majority of which tend to have a law degree and some philosophy just from my observations.

Originally posted by EgosXII that's pretty much the long-term plan, but i think it's hard to get there unless your aligned with a party for ages (like joining fkn youth political parties and horrible shit like that), or unless you have an area of expertise... so might do some education then look to transfer into some kind of political role relating to education once i actually have some more tangible experience To go directly into a political role you pretty much need to do law from what i've heard and seen, and yeah, cbf with that, law is boring as all hell

I recently heard someone mention that the problem with todays politics, at least in this country, is the career politicians. I totally agree.

A career politician just doesn't have enough business experience to do their job as well as they could, as opposed to those who have worked in the public/private sectors for a decade or two and then gone into politics.

Say you start as an aide in your mid 20s, work in politics for 25 years and then end up as minister for finance in your late 40s. How the fuck do you have any financial experience then?

exactly. so people should re-inforce the fact that somebody is a cunt.

i do agree, but it doesn't always help as much as you'd think. turnbull's idiotic commentary on the benefits of wireless ADSL is a case in point

hahaha true about religious 'studies'

yeah i'm actually pretty good with policy, have done a few crossover law/pol subjects and I didn't mind them, and did very well at them, but in terms of a politics/philosophy degree making me a good candidate for a job which is pretty much entirely based on policy i doubt i would be very appealing.. I would be really good at it, but politics, and policy is like law/marketting area imo, they want it to look good, not to mean anything

yeah i completely agree, and its another reason i think its good to start somewhere even if you want to go into politics... I know a guy who wants to be prime minister, and pretty much expects it to just happen.. He did business or some crap, and i keep telling him, go fucking work, do your job and work your way up to a point of respectability THEN think about politics. who the fuck is going to give a shit about you if you're straight out of uni, and know nothing about the work-force or about how the job-game works? Especially within political parties, it takes a LONGGG time and a lot of dick-sucking to be noticed, you can't just traips in off the street and expect to be the king

the guys a rich kid though, so he doesn't understand what work is really

Actually, it'll probably backfire: the cuntness aforementioned is clearly a defence mechanism and if you just tell the person they're deluded, it's actually possible they may tell you're wrong (just like everybody else).

If you want to help, rather than being cunty about some cunt's cuntness, you should say it in a way that doesn't sound like a threat.

I'm not the oldest person around, but I've seen enough to know this just makes cunts spiteful.

Sadly this is very true. Turnbull is killing his political chances by accepting Abbotts position, designed to destroy Turnbull

parenting fail=

When rowan was sick in the hospital this spring, she had to get an IV.. her veins kept blowing the iv out so they had to do it about 6 times. I've had IV's and i thought it was fucking painful. Needless to say, i felt gutted, and apparently the nurse administering the IV did too, because she came back with this huge white teddy bear with a big bow and pom poms hanging off the ends. I tried to lighten the mood a bit i said "hey rowan, you should totally name your bear JINGLE BALLS!!" i thought it was funny at the time but i was pretty out of it. She gave me a dirty look and told me she would not call her teddy jingle balls. Well of course i refered to the bear as jingle balls the whole time she was in the hospital, and when she got home, the bear got phased out with some other toys not to be seen for a long time.

Well tonight when i put her to bed she announced that she found JINGLEBALLS and she's going to sleep with him every night now and it's ok for me to call him jingleballs now because it's a good name for him and his balls really do jingle..

cor version: at the time it sounds funny to hear your kid say inappropriate things but in the end it sounds wrong and you will probably regret it.

jingleballs:
