What a weekend. I went for my first summer swim on Saturday. The water was icy at first and invigorating once we'd paddled about a little bit. We also ate on the grass outside my old work which made it even more enjoyable. The fact that I can finally sit on that side of the road on a sunny weekend and be a ho-hum leisure loving member of society. ( Read more... )

It occurred to me just a moment ago that I haven't had to slug through job websites for a whole two months now. Life is hilarious. I almost cancelled my interview for the job I have now, I think I was scared that it might have actually pulled through. I've been busy at work. Various jobs just mount on my desk and before midday I'm usually drowning ( Read more... )

Billy Joel was fucking incredible. I love that dude. He was so damn funny (knew he would be but this was made certain in that Dan and Andre also had big smiles on their faces). He played Waltzing Matilda for his Aussie audience and without request, the crowd started singing the lyrics to him as he so effortlessly commanded the keys. After the big ( Read more... )

Didn't do so much at work today. I went for a run mid-afternoon which gave me a good recharge when I strolled back to the office. Sometimes we get free stuff. Like, last week I got a 2 litre carton of milk, much appreciated by my mum. The week following there was a box of CD's and books, which I found a little too late as the shithead before me ( Read more... )

My five-year highschool reunion was last night and it was no Romy & Michelle affair. It's funny but I almost completely missed the whole thing. I was sitting on the net last night scouring through my email, deleting the crap and re-reading the good, came across the invitation and yelled 'Shiiiit! My reunion is tonight!'. I was 40 minutes late. Now ( Read more... )

Big news at the office this week. Our company has just been bought buy Murdoch-owned media giant News Limited, who own 70 per cent of the newspapers in Australia, meaning there will be some pretty big changes coming our way. Some people were freaking me out with rumours that a whole bunch of us might get the flick under the new ownership. The very ( Read more... )

I ate an incredible chocolate cup cake today. Felt kinda shyte about it all afternoon and went for a walk tonight to mentally erase it from my belly. I did very little at work today. And get this, my superior was apologising to me for there being very little for me to do this week. Apparently, during deadline things can get ugly. Heaps looking ( Read more... )

My first weekend off was nothing short of great. I went shopping and bought myself the mp3 player I've been eyeing for months. It's the best purchase I've made in ages. I can't stop doting over it, taking it with me wherever I go and gliding my fingers over it's shiny new exterior. This is love. I also got to spend some much-needed time with young ( Read more... )

What the hell has been on my mind lately? I have this sudden and very strong urge to buy a car. I really can't afford it but my thinking is that one day, I eventually will. It would be pretty foolish at this stage since I'm driving Mum's car to and from work and she's actually content to make her way around by foot. Now, whenever I'm on the road I' ( Read more... )
