Ickle Izzie slinked into the supermarket today to do some shopping for Friday. That's the day when the Izzie is rostered on to do the "Vote for me" speech at the Friday Morning group. This time we will be guests at another club so they have not yet experienced the Izzie insidiousnesssss. Got the green and silver tinsel ready along with some posters. All we need now is our baby broomsticks and party flags.
Since the Izzie will be otherwise occupied all day tomorrow - had to get stuff now or never. Was very pleased with the purchase of a very large grey and evil looking gadget - Izzie's very own Weapon of Rat Destruction. Also bought a few bags of black jelly beans to bribe the Izzie audience with.
Next stop was to write and print out our Party Policy Page which we should have done yesterday. Also needed a few posters to stick up around the place. Instead of the userfriendly system at the 'Ministry of Finance' where you just click on the print button and then go to the printing room and type in your username, password and stuff and swipe your copy card - at this other computer lab which is more convenient for Iz and never has classes in the lab - you got to log out and then log in again at special computers reserved for printing and then wait for the whole damned verification procedure and for MS Word to be installed. It takes about at least 5 minutes and is just so incredibly pathetically stupid. And that's even before you insert your copy card and the thing takes ages to verify it.
Well, we got our 3 pages in the end and then pottered on over to the cheapie photocopying joint where you don't have to pay 10 cents per page. Student union members get about 100 copy credits per year and Iz still has 300 pages left to use up. It is really annoying that you cannot use your own paper. Iz saves A4 pages printed on one side as scrap and stuff and they would have been perfect to print on and save some poor innocent trees.
After that it was time for a quick munchies before heading off to work. Izzie then came home to find 3 juicy letters in her owlery. Izzie never gets much in the line of mail other than nasty bills, bank statements and the occasional postcards from her Fairy Godmother. But today - ickle Iz got two personally signed letters from the Prime Mendaciousssss himself telling us how very much concerned he is for the Izzie family and of all the wonderful things he will do once he gets elected (which for some reason, he has been totally incapable of doing over the last 8 years) Izzie had her hand on her heart and tears in her eyes with gratitude.
Oh the joy of living in a marginal seat. But poor poor Johnnie has left it a bit late. Iz has already got 4 letters from the other crowd and the first of those was 4 weeks ago. Iz was most intrigued to know how on earth they got the Izzie details. Like - of course -we are on the electoral roll - but the Party of the Rat also had access to this information and never deemed the Izzie important enough to waste a postage stamp on. Until today that is. Sorry folks - wasting your time - Izzie will put her green tick next to some folks that never once atttempted to grovel for our preciousssss vote. But they also did not grovel during the visit of King George last October. And since they were the ONLY party who did not admire the Emperor's new clothes - they are the folks that are getting the Izzie vote.
And as for those lovely letters, Izzie would have also been getting a phone call too if she was not too mean to have a phone. This is the latest sad gimmick that our fearless leader is resorting to in order to win office and continue his deep and meaningful relationship with Georgie Boy. The opposition leader said that he'd be taking his phone off the hook because he did not want it to scare the kids.
Oh, it is going to be sssso much fun on Saturday lurking around polling booths with Wormtail and that little grey rat trap and making very nasty comments to anyone who dares hand Izzie a Liberal how to vote card. Yesss. Izzie will be following their example and giving her preference to that dodgy 'Christian' Family First Party -
Iz will put them down as number 8 and The Rat Pack as number 9. Yesss. Izzie is putting flaky fruitcakes like the One Nation Party and Citizens' Electoral Council BEFORE Honest John and his brown nosed rat brigade.
