Goodness, they still make fruit roll-ups? With all this push for healthy kids nowadays, I would’ve thought they’d put a moratorium on that one. But I guess fast food and chocolate isles in the supermarkets are still thriving, so as long as the human craving for sugar still exists, there will be unhealthy snacks. For …
Well, that’s Sandrine off on her funny little holiday. Come to think of it, I’ve heard that those car boot camps (not to be confused with ‘car-boot camps’, where you go camping in a car boot) can be quite brutal, so maybe calling it a ‘holiday’ isn’t correct. We DO seem to have quite a …
I had my people look into the actual price of a single banana, and apparently it’s much less than ten dollars. I suppose that’s a relief for the common folks, but I’m not sure how I feel eating bananas that are less than ten dollars. I sent my people out to find a banana with …
I’ve got half a mind to buy that 1970s Datsun truck for sale down the road. I know it’s rusty as heck and possibly good for no more than parts, but it’s precisely the car I wanted when I was a kid. I had a little collectable toy that looked just like this one, and …
That poor family down the road – they’ve really been through the wringer lately. Six months ago, their back unit burnt down. A couple of months after that, the whole family came down with the flu. Then, just last week, they had a leak in their gas system and their eight year-old got carbon monoxide …
I know our work departments have very little to do with each other, in general, but that won’t stop me from hating Franchita. Oh, the golden lady of virtue from HR, Franchita. In front of everyone she’s all golden curls and giggling at your jokes and helping to water the office plant when it isn’t …
You know, some people in this class have a clear advantage over others. I myself do not resemble humans in any way, shape or form, and my holographic glamour only works in short bursts. But now there’s this new guy, and he’s from Earth. That’s just unfair. I think our grades should be adjusted according …
Okay, I leave Melbourne for…what, five years? Just over five years. It’s not that long in the grand scheme of things, but I come back from my job in the Malaysian office and the city has gone nuts. There’s cults and weird clubs everywhere, about a zillion odd attractions (Lemur Sanctuary sounds cool though), there …
The recent cold snap that has rocked Melbourne for the past fortnight is now causing an increased number of mothers-in-law to flock to strange houses in search of warmer environments. The 12 degree weather has taken its toll on the in-law population of the Melbourne metropolitan area, with more than 250,000 flocking to the streets …
I guess they must have found a really decent commercial office designer, Melbourne has some of the best people when it comes to style. I managed to find someone who was willing to bend the rules a little, because I finally got an interview at the place and it was…interesting. There was a fireman’s pole, …
