I live in a one bedroom apartment, that is literally my bedroom with a connecting ensuite and a living room/kitchen. The rooms in most people’s houses are bigger than my entire apartment, but I make it work. What really bothers me is the apartment’s lack of personal laundry facilities. I’ve been using a communal laundry …
Ah, job interviews. Arriving in a strange part of town with no prior knowledge of bus routes or parking options, exchanging pleasantries, and attempting to competitively sell your time and skills within that dynamic while pretending you’re simply ‘having a casual chat’… what’s not to love? Last time I went to one, the location was …
I work in a bakery in Sydney’s west as the head baker. I really like my job, which often shocks people as I have to work nights. I love working nights. When I finish work at 9am I have a full seven hours to enjoy my day before I have to go to sleep ready …
I’m fleeing my life as I know it. I’ve packed up my belongings and I’m moving across the state to live by the beach. I’m chasing a life that I’ve never had before, a life of freedom, a life of excitement, a life that doesn’t conform to what society deems as appropriate. I know, for …
When it comes to relationships, I’m really weird. I have a tendency to adopt the hobbies and personality of whoever I’m dating, rather than remaining my own person. My last boyfriend, who is a really great guy despite it not working out, was really interested in building things and learning to use every type of …
Breakfast used to be my favourite time of the day. Gradually entering the waking world at a leisurely pace, handling a variety of foodstuffs that are delicious without being too overwhelming to the senses… it really doesn’t get any better. At least, that was the case until I started this new job two weeks ago. …
I can’t believe my plan failed! The world’s largest tornado never even came into being. How could I have predicted that all of my air conditioners would need servicing and repairs? Am I doomed to forever be known as the worst Prime Minister of all time? For once, I just wanted to do something that …
My wife and I LOVE our dog. She’s our only child and we want nothing but the best for her. We have been her parents since she was eight weeks old, and have loved her since before she was born. We took her to the best puppy school within a twenty kilometre radius. She goes …
With the awards night just 48 hours away, it’s getting towards crunch time. If I can’t finalise those shoes by COB today, I’m going to have to get serious, cancel the order and find a new pair, by which I mean send my assistant to find me a new pair. I really hope it doesn’t …
I could kill Vanessa! I’ve told her time and time again not to scrub my cast iron wok, and yet she’s done it again – and with that terrible cheap dishwashing liquid of hers. I’m so furious, I’ve got half a mind to call a house meeting, but I know it’ll just blow back in …
