Suing the Bastards

Isn't the internet grand?!

I love it. This afternoon I've been reading up on the Industrial Relations Commission and I've downloaded one of their forms. I'm all set to go now when my lawyer gets back next week and we go to work on my old employer. Bastards.

The law says I have the right to compensation if their decision to make me unemployed was "harsh, unjust or unreasonable". And I reckon it was. Mainly because it was very sudden and there was a distinct lack of interest in finding me something else, despite the fact I'd worked there for two and a half years in a sales role, and there were sales positions available. Classy people.

Anyway it's going to cost money but hopefully they will be encouraged to soothe my pain with enough to pay off the lawyer and maybe give me enough left over to invest in a new computer.

This one does okay but it's struggling under the weight of our new iPod and the digital camera.

Right now I'm listening to the mighty Wellington Lions trying to beat those evil men from Canterbury in the New Zealand provincial rugby competition. It's a top-of-the-table clash, and even more importantly it's a Ranfurly Shield game. Real important.

I wish I could watch it, but I guess I should be grateful I can even hear it!!

Internet radio is not perfect tho .. I have to suffer through some longish silences.

13 minutes to go. Canterbury's ahead. Come one Wellington, get the bastards.
