Actually it's not, but after the Thursday of a sitting week it certainly feels like it.  After a sitting week, Friday feels like a day off by comparison.

I actually enjoyed question time today because there was a real direction and purpose to the questions rather than mock outrage and speechifying.

WT and I got a briefing from a guy who had BO.  As it turns out he has been unemployed for 13 years and has no qualifications in the field in which he was briefing us.  WT was getting a bit fidgety but still let the meeting go on for an hour.

There was a run today with the work running group and I even managed to convince one runner to attempt an assisted pull up when we passed the bar.  She made it.

TW: 20 60kg squats, 30 pushups.  50 bicep curls

Kat is making arrangements to fill our soon to be vacant room.  People are coming over on Saturday.  She asked what I was planning to do during the election campaign.  I will be sent somewhere and I wondered if she thought I was temporarily but officially moving out.  As it turns out she thinks there may be the perception of a conflict of interest because I share a house with people in the civil service.  I can't see how.  Wouldn't that mean I couldn't have any contact with anyone the least bit involved in government?

That does seem a bit OTT.

Well I have no plans to go anywhere. In fact, officially I live in Sydney. That's where I'm enrolled to vote and that's where my car is registered.

Heh - I have been so focused on Thursday as the end of my week that it's 0830 and I've only just realised I need to go to work.

I made the same realisation.

Surely any conflict of interest would've surfaced previously. Just because your flatmates have to be above Caesar's Wife as civil servants, there's no reason to go getting all panicky and paranoid. Hope you get some decent flatties.

In the post Godwin Grech world apparently the civil service is being lectured on not leaking anything to political types. The thing is that they've never said anything about what they do at work to me and nor have any of my other civil service friends.

If something was leaked from their department and it became an issue in an election campaign they would be looking for any possible connection. So as far as I'm concerned, it's up to them to be careful about what they tal about, around me or around anyone else. The alternate solution of me living in an isolated cell is not one I am willing to consider.
