An explanation of The Joy Division Litmus Test
Although it may now be lost in the mysts of thyme, the poll below is still relevant to this blog. In the winter of 2008, Mele and I went to live in Queensland. In order to survive, I bluffed my way into a job at a Coffee Club.
It was quite a reasonable place to work: the hours were regular, the staff were quite nice, it wasn't particularly taxing on my brain.
There were a few downsides: In the six weeks or so that I worked there, there was about a 90% staff turnover (contributed to by my leaving). This wasn't seen as a result of the low pay, the laughability of staff prices or the practice of not distributing tips to staff, rather it was blamed on the lack of work ethic among Bribie Island's youth.
However, one of the stranger aspects of the cultural isolation that touched our lives during our time "up there" was the fact that nobody at my work had heard of the band Joy Division.
The full explanation is available here.
But please, interact a little further and vote in my ongoing poll. The results are slowly mounting up, proving one thing: people read this blog are more well-informed about Joy Division than anyone who works at the Coffee Club on Bribie Island.

Ha. Well he looks pretty serious about it.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a typo there?
I did but now I'm calling it poetry.
DeleteOh Noetry!
Haw haw.
DeleteI guess talking to fish is more mysterious and god-like.
Notice the symmetry between the rainbow and the 'stache. Clearly this is a sign.
ReplyDeleteNote how the 'bow and 'stache both arc over the fish in the present and in the future ...
DeleteWhat the hell kind of lizard fish is that?
ReplyDeleteThat is a true blue South Aussie flathead!
