I just logged into the discussion board for one of my Grad Dip units where there was a lot of angst over the recent power cuts. (The bulk of the students taking this course are external, and rely on computers to study, I get that and I sympathise). But my tutor writes the following (paraphrased) comment: "It makes me wonder if these power cuts had happened four weeks ago if the government would have been re-elected."
It's Not A Good Idea to rant at tutors over message boards about non-unit-related topics. So:
ARRGH! What? You mean the govnernment can be blamed for making it rain!?. It wasn't the government's fault, wasn't Western Power's fault. Rain on powerlines that haven't been rained on for months and months (aka they're dusty) means you get pole top fires. Some lovely LJ person also mentioned this
-- above ground power in Perth means you get pole fires.
::is calm now, and can face said tutor with a smile on her face tomorrow morning. Really::
There you go. The power of LJ :D
