Best case scenario. If it is Moorey that's right, he'd be hard pressed to be more insufferable

and you wanna be my latex salesman…Alright, I work from home full time.
Why not both? I assume? Didn’t read.

Good boy. Does that feel better? Better out than in, so they say.........Why not both? I assume? Didn’t read.
Prelude...?Well bollocks to the lot of you pansies. I for one am glad I no longer have to spend any more time in quarantine.
Seriously. you try spending over 100 days in isolation when not working on what is essentially a giant floating bomb that's getting more and more dangerous by the day because the manpower required for the essential care and maintenance over the last year and a half has not been there due to closed borders.
Yeah, nurses and ICU staff are going to have a tough time of it but fuck it. We've had an absolute cunt of a time for the last 18 months and at least in a hospital when you finish shift you can go home, see your family and not worry about the fact that where you sleep is also where you work and where you know there's at least one or two areas of rusting steel precariously holding back tonnes of high-pressure hydrocarbons that have probably gone unchecked due to a lack of resources.
Erm....that's litterally perfect. Your daughter can let the electrician in while you're out....Alright, I work from home full time. I’ve had wife, kids driving me mad for the last few months with home schooling. So tomorrow was going to be my first day at home alone with all them going back to school. So I thought fuck it, I’m having the day off and going to ride all day. Electrician who was coming to do some work on the house 2 days ago, is now coming midday tomorrow. And just now daughters high school has been shut due to covid…..day off postponed
See? straight away with the "Well, I hope you never need an ICU bed" self-righteousness. You sound like a parent who automatically decrees that one joint will lead to a smack addiction, riding a bike down to the shop without a helmet will end in a coma and holding hands on the bus will end in teen pregnancy.Christ, dude. Hope you don’t ever need the ICU or the pandered staff in there. I think you’re aiming your rage at the wrong people.
I get you’ve had a shit time. It sounds horrific. But, Christ.
I think that White Elephant needs to actually have product flowing into it before it can be dangerous.Prelude...?
I don’t even know where to start with that. So I won’t. I’m sorry you are suffering.See? straight away with the "Well, I hope you never need an ICU bed" self-righteousness.

I'm over it. I'm over the prevailing assumption that if you're in any way in favour of taking a dynamic approach to fighting this thing while ensuring that we aren't letting people fall by the wayside, you're some kind of reckless, self-centred arsehole who's ready to punch a police horse in the name of freedom.
We're now 18 months down the line. I know for a lot of people - particularly financially-comfortable old farts like the majority of Rotorburn's demographic these days (myself included), the first year of COVID was a bit scary at first but easy to settle into, so any change to that is going to feel scary again but let's be honest. We don't really have a choice.
A lot of the long term effects of COVID on society at large are only now starting to bite with things like the global chip shortage, soaring energy prices, wear and tear on existing infrastructure, kids education standards dropping etc. becoming the norm.
Things need to get moving again and thanks to vaccinations and a better understanding of how the virus spreads and how to manage it, we can finally do this. Unfortunately there's still this head-stuck-in-the-sand mentality where any effort to discuss changing our focus is met with 'oh look how bad it is in the UK or America' or 'well, what about new variants?' and 'the vaccine doesn't stop infection, it only slows it'
Well, first of all, why are the fucking basket cases of Brexit Britain and Red-State USA used as our automatic examples of how things will go when we relax the borders? Why does noone ever use Canada or the Scandinavian countries as comparisons? Secondly, what about new vaccines? I doubt the folk at Pfizer and Moderna have hung up their lab coats and are now sitting around scratching their arse, playing beer pong. It's going to be a bit like whack a mole but we're going to get this thing sorted or a least manageable eventually. We did it with the Spanish Flu and we didn't even have Dolly Parton helping back then.
As for the very commonplace attitude I saw around Australia - here included- that anyone who was stuck overseas and trying to get home was somehow some sort of selfish gallivanting Typhoid Mary who should be exiled for all eternity in the name of keeping our borders secure. That was a pretty dark moment for the country. It really came across as quite cuntish and it's definitely shown me that the inner Pauline Hanson is quite strong in a lot more of us than we'd like to admit.
I didn't say fuck the nurses. I said fuck your worst-case scenario posturing.I don’t even know where to start with that. So I won’t. I’m sorry you are suffering.
If you think ‘fuck the nurses’ is the solution, we are done though. The rest of what you said has essentially fuck all to do with anything I said.
That's because - believe it or not - this entire site does not revolve around you.The rest of what you said has essentially fuck all to do with anything I said.
Gas led recovery huhI think that White Elephant needs to actually have product flowing into it before it can be dangerous.
I won't say exactly where I work but it's not really important as it's an industry-wide issue at the moment. To use a common industry metaphor, there are a hell of a lot more holes in the swiss cheese at the moment.
Most are minor incidents, unworthy of reporting on their own but in a wider context, the chances of something major going down grow ever stronger. Most notably there was a flash fire on one of the Bass Strait rigs that supply Melbourne's gas earlier this year. That's the sort of thing that can end in a Piper Alpha incident (and as the 90's Longford explosion taught Melbournites, cold showers for a few weeks when the supply is halted)
It's been a good couple of years... you've done ok even with 100 days quarantine ya Scottish chunt !Well bollocks to the lot of you pansies.
