Rage

I have been on hold with Centrelink for an eternity now (after spending all yesterday redialling and not being able to get through) and I just wanna say how mad I am! Not so much at being put on hold etc as I understand a lot of people are in totally shitty situations with the natural disasters and need disaster relief - but those motherlickers cancelled my youth allowance! And they only notified me via one line amongst a billion dot points (*One of your reporting days is different due to a holiday! *Do you have any changes to declare? *BAM you're cancelled um wat) within 7 pages of text. Is that not just a total dick move? I'm lucky that I'm still at home and I can get by for an extra couple of weeks or whatever without the payments but what if that payment was the difference between me eating this week or not? As well as that, they didn't provide me with a form or any way to actually report the changes in my parent's income/assets. So now I have to wait for forever on the phone to be like "You guys are total dicks".

But anyway. On to brighter and lovelier things!

Everyone has been pretty mean about the Pantone Colour of 2011. Last year's was Turquoise 15-5519, which I thought was pretty rad:
But not necessarily my favourite ever. 

This year's is Honeysuckle 18-2120:

Which I don't hate either! Everyone's been all BARF about it but I think as far as pinks go - this one is pretty okay! I think if it were slightly paler and dustier I'd be all over it, but I think this one is pretty okay.
