Shampoo Diamond

October 20, 2002

Now, I’m a sucker for any kind of grocery-based promotion. Any contest which requires you to consume some variety of perishable much faster than you healthily should, in order to determine if some sort of prize is at the bottom of the packet, really tickles my marketing-related-activities g-spot. The latest contest I’d noticed on our [...]

Small Talker

September 11, 2000

I still don’t bloody know if I’ve got my job or not yet. I was promised by the job agency that they would let me know last week, and ‘if they hadn’t called by end of Friday, ring us back’. I rang on Friday afternoon only to be told that the guy handling my application [...]

Team Blonding Session

September 1, 2000

Me (on phone to my mum): It’s exactly the friggin’ same! My mum: No it’s not! Sport is stronger! Me: Why WOULDN’T they make them all the same strength? My mum: I don’t know. It’s their marketing!

Benzophenone

April 29, 2000

For the first few days this week I was wondering where my pay was from my one day of temp work last week. I rang up my temp agency and they told me that the pay would be in later that afternoon, which it wasn’t. I checked again on Thursday and discovered I had double [...]

Introducing Pantene Bourbon Shampoo

August 9, 1999

More bourbon in my day to day life! My mum’s made some home-made shampoo – I’ve got no idea what it’s made off, but man, it sure don’t smell pretty. On first impression, it smelt distinctly like bourbon. So now, even though I’ve got short hair and people say I look “tidier”, I smell like [...]

You Think You Know Someone…

April 13, 1999

I got off from supervising an exam this evening at my work, although I still had to work a little later than usual. It’s my sole purpose for living at the moment. I visited the Body Shop on my lunch break today to be confronted with something that haunted me all day. I saw a [...]
