    Work, work

    October 25, 2017

    Hi guys! Told you I’d be back soon! Eck – not this fuckwit again. Wait, hang on a minute – I just said hi. Had enough of you wacko smacko. Gee, someone is in a mood tonight. That’s right guys – I am in a mood tonight, the mood to PARTY PEOPLE, WOOP THERE IT IS. No wait, what am I saying, I’m not in the mood to party at all – I’m just delirious from jet lag still. But it’s been 4 days? How can you still be jet-lagged? Isn’t it a 3hr time difference? Sigh, I know – I’ve been trying to cure it with 5 hours of…

    Hump Day

    September 20, 2017

    Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho it’s off to work we go. Hello again friends! Heigh Ho indeed for most of us although luckily it’s Wednesday which means HUMP DAY! Hump day’s term came about because you know naturally the seven day week is like a camel, and Wednesday which falls in the middle is the “hump” or midpoint of the week, get over this hump and it’s a smooth downhill ride to Thursday and then it’s FRIDAY BITCHES and the promised land of weekend goodness. But sir, what if you have a two-humped camel? … sigh, life is hard. Hump day was not named after this camel. When did this concept of…

    Bonus week

    September 3, 2017

    This week is BONUS week, OH YEAH – what this means is we finally learn of our reward for all the hard work and efforts of the previous financial year. When our employer looks at us in the eye, smiles a fatherly smile and whispers “you are valued”. YEAH RIGHT, PULL THE OTHER ONE SONNY. When I first started my career, people kept on repeating to me the mantra that the “bonus” is what you worked for, a big fat pot of gold handed over to you at the end of the year. I soon realised that the word “bonus” was prefixed by the word “discretionary”. Discretionary means your employer’s…

    “$1.2 million in the bank”

    August 30, 2017

    “$1.2 million” “Say what?” “I made $1.2 million” So went partially the conversation with my colleague at work today – a big hulking Eastern European straight out of the KGB Academy for big hulking Eastern Europeans. Of course, anyone who tells you they made $1.2 million deserves some attention, in fact I would have paid attention to whatever he was saying. 4 years ago he tells me, he purchased a property to live in with his newly married wife. At the start of the Sydney boom, he decided to knock down the run down dwelling and develop a 5 bedroom mansion on the same block.  The sale went through last…

    Let’s Do It!

    August 24, 2017

    Do what you ask? Doing you! What do you mean doing you? Here, let me explain. Growing up we all had the belief (well I did anyway) that if you go to a good school, get good grades, get into a good uni, get a good job, you get a good career, find a good wo/man, get a good marriage…you get the point. In my mid-20s I realized this was a fallacy.  My friends were mostly in very high paying jobs and in very high status vocations yet I look at them and all I see are sheep. Not because they are warm and fuzzy and need a good shave…
