The Blair Ditch Project

Praise your lords, for Blair is gone. It's too late of course, in the same way that Tiffany posing for Playboy was 18 years too late.

So Prescott or Brown are going to take over the country. It's a clever ploy that normally works in a country as corrupt as England. Let the public vote for the PM, then get him to step down and replace him with the person the government really wanted in power without a general election. That's what we call "democracy" in England.

Christ. It would be like Bush stepping down and Cheney taking over. Talk about a bad situation getting worse.

Blair reminisced about how well off the country was in '97 and how totally screwed it is now. Well - technically he tried to spin it the other way around. Still - he does hold a few records from his time in power: record tax hikes, record petrol prices, record bankruptcies, record hospital closures, record police failures, record levels of teenage drinking and pregnancy, record illegal immigration, record out-sourcing and record complete and utter fucking up of a country.

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them.

In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
