When the Concept of a Home Gym Goes Too Far

June 25, 2009

The owner of our local gym is an awesome bloke, but I find it strange that he seems to be working at every given hour of the day.
He’s more dedicated to his job than Natalie Bassingthwaite is to hypnotising the nation via TV with her crazy eyes. If I rock up to the gym first [...]

Big Bother

April 22, 2009

Reading about the recent shenanigans of Big Brother’s Mike Goldman has got me thinking about an old job I used to have. Many, many years ago I was a “talent” manager for the evicted housemates on Big Brother. On paper, that was supposed to involve high-profile endorsement deals and media appearances; but usually consisted of [...]

Whitewashed

February 21, 2009

You don’t see chefs proudly wearing smeared chorizo sausages over their apron.
You don’t see financial analysts stapling printouts of spreadsheets to their businesswear.
You certainly don’t see actors stickytaping DVDs across their own bodies.
So why do painters insist on wearing white uniforms to show off just how hard they’ve worked each day?! Dudes, we get it. [...]

‘Tis the Season To Be Terrified

December 13, 2008

Curses! I’ve normally completed all of my dreary Christmas shopping in November, but seem to have dropped the ball this year. At the risk of my mental coherence, I’m about to plunge headlong into Melbourne’s major shopping area less than two weeks before Christmas.
Considering how bonkers things can get in major department stores at this [...]

Sausage Fizzle

April 12, 2006

Working from home, while an enticing concept, is effecting me strangely. At first I was worried I was beginning to hate the whole no-human-contact hermit idea, but… like a mate of mine said, it’s actually enticing me to get out and about a lot more. Even just walking to the shops this afternoon after work, [...]

Baby Got Bounce

April 6, 2006

Adam’s rightfully picky about where he works – hanging around at a shitty advertising agency probably doesn’t do any favours for your resume, so he’s searching for a really good job at a really good agency. He’s had a few bites here and there, including one extremely promising job – until he found out via [...]

New Year’s Blogolution

December 17, 2005

Somehow, I managed to get away with only posting on here almost once a month for the latter half of the year. Any long-term readers will be more than familiar with my Daryl-Somers-career-esque attitude to posting (read: all over the shop, then disappear for long-term period, then reappear posting wildly like an Australian journo on [...]

Dickhead the Dog

October 23, 2005

I’ve been trying to post here more often, but my new role at work has seen me pounding away furiously at a PC seven days a week. So I’m not being lame, I do have intentions to post here… I just hardly feel like getting home after a long day of blinking in front of [...]

Evil Hoodie of Big Gay Love

October 16, 2005

My ages-old iPod completely died in the arse on Friday, so I ashamedly purchased an iPod Scratcho today. It seems okay so far, but from what I can gather, it should have begun the highly functional and stylish Apple process of self-destruction in a few days, finally decomposing as a metal husk resembling nothing more [...]

Maletosterone

October 10, 2005

Last week, the guys who run the company I work at pulled me aside to let me know that my boss has taken on a new role within the company, and now I’ve taken her job for the time being. So it seems I’m in management all of a sudden, which frankly is constantly on [...]
