Just thought I would provide a quick update of whats happening in my rather boring life in the unlikely event it is of interest to anyone (no, I didn't think so ( Read more... )

Sorry to everyone for not updating, but to be honest there has been very little of excitement happening in my life. I really didn't hink it was worth writing up the details of playing golf, or working in the office. Work itself is going really well. Aside from getting to write a bundle of features, I have also completed my rewrite of the Courier ( Read more... )

Ok, this is a rant, so just scroll down the page to someone who thinks in normal ters. The thing is, I am to graduate tomorrow and I just don't care. At all, I couldn't give a toss about the whole ceremony, I will spend 5 seconds having some dopey old bastard draping a hood ineffectively over me, and then pick up a random scroll.

That was awesome, I haven't had so much fun at an IV ever.

I acheived nothing but got to watch sport, woot ( Read more... )

I got my first real pay check (with tax deductions and everything)!

My first ever published article is in the paper today (and for debates hacks I got the phrase 'sharing the love into it)!

Life is good!

And so I complete my first week in the real world. I would love now to tell everyone about how difficult it has been adapting to office life. I could go on about how having to work from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon is so much harder tha university work. I might even rant about how everyone looks down on me as the new boy in the ( Read more... )

I meant to update yesterday, but I was somewhat shabby following the IV piss-upon thursday. That was a sureal experience, and I am now certain that leaving Kylie in charge of drinks might have been a slight tactical misjudgement. By the time I had finshed delivering everyone over to the house, the casualty count was 4 or 5 people shit-faced. My ( Read more... )
