Labour Shortage leads to Retirement Cut-backs











Today I discovered that the expected strain on our economy, from a labour shortage, due to an aging public and low birth rate, is expected to kick in around 2040. According to my calculations as a post-feminist, that puts me just over 60 - heading into retirement. Oh goody. Im looking forward to that.

This is a message to all women out there, you have my full permission to go out and get knocked up. Thank you.

The Secret


A while ago I was watching Kath & Kim. In the last scene, Kath says to Kim, 'What ya reading?'
'Oh its this book called The Secret, apparently it says if you wish for things long enough, you will get it'
'Oh really,' says Kath, 'I might try that. I need a new dishwasher.'

Thats the secret. If you wish for something long enough you wind up getting it.

And so here we have a bunch of post feminist women climbing the career ladder, with arsenal such as high heels and some Gucci, looking for a personal identity and in the meantime seeking the One.

Of course, if he's not the One, he can always become the My Biological Clock is Ticking and He Might Just Be The One.

Yep, thats right. The Mummy Trail.

And if you thought having a career and looking for Mr Right was hard work well, you had another thing coming. You now have everything you as a post feminist ever wanted... it all.

Congratulations, the Secret really does work.

If you wish for IT ALL long enough, you end up getting it.
