It has been interesting working for a company that has money. At my old job I was given a $200 budget for office supplies. That’s per month. It did not go very far in terms of supplying all thirty five employees with stationery and office equipment for a week let alone a month. Since I …
Okay. This is bad. This is really really bad. I’ll go back and start from the beginning. Over the last couple of months, my dad has been teaching me how to fish. It’s kind of a big deal, we haven’t been close … well, pretty much ever, and fishing was always something he did with …
I’ve come up with what, in my humble opinion, is up there with the most brilliant ideas of the planet (Einstein’s theory of relatively ain’t got nothing on this). Well, to be honest, while it did pop into my head one day (while in the shower if you must know … I always seem to …
Our six year old daughter is very inquisitive. She’s at that stage where she asks a million questions and comes up with the craziest ideas. When we were arranging to get our tree lopped down by an arborist service in Melbourne, she immediately had to know all about it. We got onto the topic of …
Confession time: I haven’t been the best worker over the last few months. I know, perhaps I was never a model of a perfect worker before, but for sure, over the last few months I have been distracted. Not just at work, either. It’s becoming an obsession, a habit that’s gone so far I’m not …

My twin sister and I have always been rivals. From the moment we could take our first steps were were racing each other and challenging each other. Like most sibling relationships, this was both bad and good. Bad because it there has been an edge of hostility and competitiveness between us ever since, good because …
I do a lot of gazing during exam time. Gazing out of buses, gazing from my desk out the window. This time, while gazing out of my window, I discovered that I’ve never actually looked at the window itself. The wood was very old and was looking a bit gnarly, so I decided to get …
When I was a kid, I always dreamed of being a doctor. My sister and i would play ‘doctor’ and I’d put on my toy stethoscope and pretend to diagnose and treat her imaginary ailments. When I got to high school however, I started realising that perhaps science wasn’t my thing. I was hopeless at …
So, my folks made their decision to go away for their anniversary during my school holidays. I say it’s a mistake because as you can imagine I took the opportunity to go wild,. I wanted to have a massive house party. I was already 18, even though I was in year 12, so I was …
