So I promised to write about the scam I actually was hoodwinked for 20 seconds. This one is fairly sophisticated.
I recently received a letter from Domain Name Registry saying that ultimatesigh.com was up for renewal at the end of the year and that I should send payment details in the included return envelope to ensure noone else gets it.
Wow
I thought,
a year really went fast.
I actually considered plonking money into the envelope for a second. Then I had a good look at the price. It was $45 to renew for one year.
WTF
I thought. I had registered with My Domain for $10 and I thought the renewal was just another 10. For a split second I thought the letter was from My Domain. Then I realised the name was different and return address was in Aust. Turns out the company is called MelbourneIT and apparently they must trawl through domain registers looking for Aust domain owners. They then send an official looking letter asking for a fairly large sum to shift the registry to them and to re-register your domain through them. Their date for ultimatesigh’s expiry is like 4 months early too, probably to scare you even more. I think quite a few unwitting domain owners may fall for this trick. Sneaky but profitable business they’ve got. 🙁
So in the end sigh is still here.

So what do people think? Would people rather 3 day weekends or to work every second day only? I would choose to work every 2nd day only.
Here’s why: I think that a lot of the reasons for people being depressed at work, especially Mondays, is that they
have up to 4 more days of straight work before having a break. It’s the fact that there is so much more to bear before finally a break that makes people feel sad. But if you only had to hold on for the remainder day before your next break? Well that’d be like a Friday every work day. It’s not so bad anymore. You can see the end, it’s within reach. Like the song says you only have to “Hold on for one more day”.
So what do you guys think? I’ve set up this forum topic for everyone to vote on.

According to this SMH article women prefer to quit work and become housewives if they can.
Well no shit. That was bloody obvious. I think most people would prefer to stay at home and / or something that they like and find interesting without the pressure of that something needing to generate enough income to support you. Most of the people who tell me to simply go do “something I like” are women. But then they are invariably supported or plan to be subsidised by partners / family to enhance the income they get from their oh so fulfilling roles. So to those people with that advice to me, STFU. You think that it hadn’t crossed my mind before, or that I am not currently looking out for easier / better paying roles to allow me more free time or to gain financial independence faster? The thing is, finding something like that is hard and I don’t have the luxury of the option to marry up. Well I guess I do, but it’s pretty fucking unlikely. Just like I theoretically have a chance of striking it big in a jackpot win. So if you bring up the subject of work with me and ask me if I’m happy with it, prepare to get a genuine answer from me. Life is not always rainbows and unicorns. Sometimes people don’t like what they are doing but they have to do it anyway at least for the time being. You don’t have to try to enlighten me with your wisdom, and improve the situation for me, actually I would rather you kept your “oh why don’t you do something you like?” shitty simplistic suggestion out of the discussion. End of rant.

I’m a little late in announcing this, but the Ultimate Sigh Forum is up. You can access it from the top menu, it’s the right most item.
It’s now fully functional and there’s an appropriate image representing each sub-forum, ones that I know Suti will like.
Now if only I can win lotto.
