Day 243: Bargaining...but not what you think.

Some very interesting cloud patterns

Day 243 (6 August) Tuesday. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It certainly gives the lectures in this week each year a certain poignancy, particularly when those subjects are International Security and Politics and Security in East Asia. Visiting the Hiroshima Peace Park back in the late 1980s probably triggered my interest in ideas of security in ways I didn't expect. 

A clear start, at 6.12pm

However, the day at work commences with bargaining over the enterprise agreement; one day I shall write quite a lengthy piece about this form of workplace negotiation...but here is not the place. 

Lecture prep, at 6.12pm

I also have some additional classes with students doing individual research projects. They are always interesting. 

There is some work to do to prepare the lectures for later in the week...and of course, the campaigning continues. Really, Australia...is this the political discourse we deserve?
