pros and cons

During my legendary journey to the west island I've come across a few things that make me go hmmmm?!?
  • Eftpos minimums: what century are we living in again? I feel like buying a chocolate bar and I need to spend ten dollars to do so. So much for the cashless society. Maybe this is one of the economic stimulus plans, I know these shopkeepers wont be going broke anytime soon.
  • Internet Banks have weekends and holidays off: Are you kidding me. If you blow ten bucks on an eftpos minimum purchase on the weekend the transaction doesn't show up on your internet bank balance until Monday. I've got a budget to monitor here people, come on. I think someone actually enters all the transactions manually. And I thought we were backwards in New Zealand.
  • Monster sized cockroaches: 'nuff said.

(if this is all I can complain about I suppose things aren't too bad) On the plus side...

  • For the first time in my life I have a tan.
  • There's no fee to put books on hold at the library
  • League actually matters here. Wooo!
