When Good Marriages Go Bad

January 15, 2000

I noticed last night, most of my friends on the internet were having problems with their computers, but only those friends who use Windows. My Mac-using friends were fine. I’ve got a theory: Bill Gates is causing havoc now that he’s resigned as CEO of Microsoft and is screwing with our computers.

I’ve decided that Diet [...]

Welcome to Jeb & Sons, Inc

January 14, 2000

Today at work we found out the company we work for is opening a new call centre in Tweed Heads, Queensland. We also found out that there were quite a few jobs going there, and if we wanted to transfer there we could, but we had to make our decision by Monday. I came home [...]

Warning: Today’s Entry Contains Phenylalanine

January 13, 2000

Last night I was having a few drinkies seeing as the weather was so hot. I normally steer clear of drinking Coke after dinner because it keeps me awake, but seeing as I was drinking bourbon (which in theory should make you tired, although it has the opposite effect on me), and Coke makes you [...]

Welcome to Your Progress Meeting – Could You Just Stand Over There by the Wall, While We Line Up our Rifles on You?

January 12, 2000

I’m finding on the database system we use at work, that sometimes I’ll be typing out a whole load of information and go to submit it, and it’s very easy to click on the wrong button which totally deletes everything you’ve been working on. I can spend up to 10 minutes typing up some information [...]

The Poojob: Car of the Year 2000

January 11, 2000

Yay – our contracts got extended at least until May at work, although they’ve warned us that they are ‘downsizing’ a bit, and a few of us will have to go. I think I’ll be okay though.
That was really the only interesting thing that happened at work today, really. I spent most of the rest [...]

How to Win a Long-Running Argument

January 10, 2000

When I get up late in the morning, it usually means a trip to McDonalds for breakfast. (I still have fears of McDonalds car parks after New Year’s). I heard something funny as I was eating my meal, when one of the McEmployees served some dero who’d wandered in:
McEmployee: (in a voice far too cheery [...]

Marathon Stripping: Now a Demonstration Event at the Sydney 2000 Olympics

January 9, 2000

“Curiosity… pom pom pom pompom…” Yes, I’ve thought of another song I want to make a hard rock version of: the theme from (the now sadly defunct) The Curiosity Show.
*****
Tomorrow’s the big showdown with me and Ms. J, in our battle to find the longest country name. I’m sure I’ve got longer names than she [...]

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

January 8, 2000

My parents got back from their holiday at Phillip Island. If you’re not familiar with the area, basically it’s a dinky little island that tourists flock to because fairy penguins run up the beach every night. There’s been an oil spill recently at Phillip Island and I was hoping the tourists would all be horrified [...]

Geography Gladiators

January 7, 2000

I went to Corio Village, a shopping centre this afternoon after work – I had to visit a friend out Corio way and needed to pick up some food as well. Corio is the end of Geelong where the bogans live, and the unemployment rate tends to be a little higher than the rest of [...]

Pantera Presents: the Best of Bananarama

January 6, 2000

Okay. When I create a metal band there are three songs I’ve always said I would do heavy metal cover songs of.
1. “She’s Got The Look” by Roxette.
2. The theme from Tetris on the Game Boy.
3. That weird “Popcorn” song. (You know, “pom pom pom pom pom pom, pom pom pom pom pom pom pom, [...]
