It isn’t easy to live up to the codes of ancient knighthood in this day and age, particularly residing in Melbourne. I took an oath to do just that many years ago, and have been living by it ever since. There are limitations, certainly. For example, subsection 14 of article 503 says that all knights …
I’ve been seeing my neighbour’s cat getting around in the cold and feeling a bit sorry for it, despite the fact that I know it has a cat flap and is out in the elements by choice. Then, I noticed that it kept disappearing into and old esky on the back porch, and not coming …
I can’t deny that I’m a little bit excited. I’ve just been granted the go-ahead on project office reboot, and the budget is much higher than I’d anticipated. That means I’m at liberty to go to town in creating the work environment I’ve always dreamed of. Whoop! I mean, obviously I can’t tailor it to …
I’ve just been informed – by my hairdresser, no less – that my parents are looking to move to Tasmania. Thanks for letting me in on that little piece of info, mum and dad! I mean, sure, they’d expressed an interest in going there, but I thought they were talking about a holiday, not a …
I’m probably the youngest baby boomer in the world, at the age of 21. I say that because I just do NOT get technology. Never have. I try, really hard, and I’m not trying to make myself into some ‘accidental’ social media star by being really klutzy, but it’s true. I send emails to the …

Maybe people need to stop parroting what they find on the latest page of their desk calculator and think about their words a little more carefully. Sorry…I …
Do you know what I, personally, think would be better than a course to manage stress? It would be going right over there to the HR department, pushing their speakers off the desks, stomping on them, tearing out the wires with my teeth and pronouncing the most dire warnings on their family if they even …
If I’m to become the greatest e-sports champion the world has ever known, I’m going to need the right set-up. That, as you will clearly understand, is the only reason I’m not a professional already. I don’t have a pro gaming mouse because Mum and Dad won’t let me have one, and they won’t let …
It has been my firm belief that mankind will one day return to the sea. Not, like…crawling back into it and being sea creatures. No, we’ll be sailing on the sea, with plenty of modern comforts. We might even have cities below the waves, deep on the ocean floor. It was easy to get power …
We’ve seen a lot of people renovate their ocean dwellings, but TV show ‘Echolocation!’ has taken the bold new step of showing an office redesign…at SEA. That’s the main premise of the show, so obviously it’d all be at sea. So you’ve got this office that deals with the paperwork surrounding the classification of sea …
