can't anyone stick to anything anymore?

'I can't help feeling disgruntled by the L party' she mused; 'can't anyone stick to anything anymore?''I feel like you don't get to make a mistake and fix it anymore'. So lamented Miss Snap Dragon.

It did feel rather quick, didn't it? The outgoing and the incoming PM.

Funny how quickly such a big change feels normal.

Poor Kev. I wanted to send him a card. I figure at work the office temp gets a bunch of flowers and card for having worked a few months. You get the 'top job' and when you leave you don't even get a signed card. OK, admittedly, handing the envelope around all of Australia and getting people to cross their names off the front and not lose it on their desks is a big ask (and I know, because sometimes its my desk it gets lost on), but still. Where's the 'thanks mate, appreciate all the effort, all the best for the future' blokey cheer? Where's the gushing 'thanks so much for all your efforts we'll really miss having your smiling face around the office xx' gush? Where's the heartfelt 'you seemed like a half decent bloke, and you probably gave up your entire social life and put your family through hell to do this, Goddess knows it seems to have sucked the colour right out of you, but not to worry some fresh vegetable juice, a good lie in and a nice overseas holiday with lazy mornings and French Toast will do you the world of good. Buck up chum, you did good, thanks.'

It just doesn't seem right to let someone go without saying thanks and goodbye somehow.
