This just in: the new office break room resembles a youth hostel kitchen. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – I’ve got nothing against the backpacker experience – but there’s a time and a place for that, and I’d argue that it’s not in the head office of a high-end cookbook publishing house. …
It’s important to stretch before and after physical activity. Tesla doesn’t understand, what with him being a cat and all, but he does a lot of stretching anyway so I hope that makes up for it being less targeted. Got to admit, when Clara was going from door-to-door handing out copies of Exercising With Your …
I’ve made a huge mistake. It is now, as I stand over the twentieth grave I’ve dug today, that I realise I should have listened. There were so many people who told me not to do this. My mum. My dad. My aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters. My high school career counsellor. Melbourne cemeteries …
I’ve been working at the South North Pole for almost ten years now. When I first got the job, we were operating out of Antarctica, at the true South Pole. It was meant to be a complementary base to take some of the workload off of the North Pole elves, who were going on strike …
I’m going to build the world’s best tree-house. I’ve been inspired after watching “Blue Eggs and Spam”, because the main character, Man, has the best tree-house I’ve ever seen. It’s got everything. Secret handshakes to get in, hidden cameras everywhere, an elevator and incredible lights. When I’m done with my tree-house, the show’s version will …
Every week my mates and I get together for a game of ‘Keeps and Krakens’. Each Friday we get together with snacks and dice and spent a good four hours together, delving through dungeons or slaying dragons. My character is basically the plumber of our adventuring group since I play the healer class and spend …
There’s nothing like attempting to buy a house to make you realise that realise that renting may not be so bad after all. I mean, it’s unstable, and you’re constantly having to worry about the real estate person popping over to admonish you for having a couch on the porch. You can’t do what you …
Can’t a guy get a couple of days to himself once in a while? Apparently not, if my current schedule is anything to go by. ‘Tis the season to be busy, it seems. Still, I’m starting to get over always having relatives visiting, or else having a trip that I planned months ago pop in …
How do you even begin to go about creating a building? I mean, presumably you start with the relevant training and experience in construction, and ideally an architectural plan that tells you what goes where. It’s not like you just wake up one day and know how to do it, but even so, I still …
Back in the day, when I was a used car salesman, I had my special ways to get a hot sale. Sometimes, while we were taking the car for a test drive (and thus they were distracted with seeing how the car handled), I’d casually let slip that a celebrity was born in the back …
