To all emergency responders and their legions of support staff: Thank you very much for doing what you do. Especially ambulance and EMS personnel who I feel are often overlooked and undervalued/ paid. Thank you. And while we're at it...the Harbour Bridges shuttle bus drivers (over the MacDonald)—you guys and gals are damn near flawless. —Citizen yeah

OK. I'm just gonna say it. Stephen McNeil you're hot. I love your quiet command of power and unassuming ways. Blue eyes—you make me tingly. —From afar

Love the pedestrians wearing glitzy dollar store ribbon held on by packing tape so I can see you walking around - YEAH! Make yourself visible, especially in these dark, rainy times. Light yourself up for safety and staying alive! –Happy Driver

Thank you for being the man I always wanted in my life. Kind and caring. I have never known what I feel when I am with you. You make me happy when skies are grey. I love you. —My only sunshine

To my lovely angel women: it is goddamn pleasure to know you and to be a witness to your strength and intelligence. Never I have I felt so empowered and listened to by a group of women. I feel that friendship is a category of love that is not given nearly enough credence in this world and that is a shame because you all have transformed my world! —EPL

I told you a while ago I couldn't support you anymore, because it wasn't my responsibility considering the change between us. Which is true in some right and I was/still am very hurt and trying to look out for number one, ya know?
This past week was really trying, and you crossed my mind almost everyday. But it didn't feel right to reach out to you for support considering how curt I was. So this is more of a subtle poke your direction. You never really read these posts, but if you do, and you feel like sharing a dart and talking through some feels give me a call. If not–that's okay too. –A

Thanks to the teachers for standing up to the government to get a fair pay raise and to stop the government's attacks on the labour movement.
Hopefully the deal negotiated doesn't have any zeroes in it but fills in the first 2 years with at least half a percent raise each while keeping (or making better) the 1% and 1.5% in the 3rd and 4th years.
It may be that there is some room for negotiating on the size of the long service award but public sector workers should have one.
If the wage package does have zeroes in it and/or the long service award has been taken away, I hope that the teachers will vote it down like they did before. Public sector workers deserve to be treated fairly and hopefully the teachers are helping to make that happen. –Person thanking teachers

There I was, shooting my big f-ing mouth off, long after my divorce, eager for a “big change” in my life. I got right down to it, through a moment of clarity and, with a firm grip on both my own reality in one hand and the fixed notion of big change in the universe with the other, I commanded the universe. In the space of that perfect moment, I knew my will had bent time and space. It's what brought our paths to cross. —A paper rose on a railing will show you the way

I came into work blue mad. I was in the back frowning, silently cursing and doing my job. Everyone was ignoring me—of course that's only natural, I was being pretty bitchy. One of my co-workers was there in the back, just me and him. He hooked up his phone to the radio/player thing to play his tunes and one of the first songs he played was a favourite of mine: Little Spanish Flea. Well, I smiled and I was instantly cheered. I thanked him and told him I felt better and he gave me one of his rare, beaming smiles and said: "That's what I was trying to do." Just when you think no one really gives a f*** about how you feel, someone shows they care in their own little way. —Cranky Co-worker
