• Nonsense

  Friday, April 11th, 2008

  After the job at Fairfax fell through, I’ve endured two months of applications, nervous waiting, disappointment at a silent phone and rejection letters…
  And I’m about to leave for my second interview with one company, and have had another 3 lined up for next week in the space of 24 hours.
  What gives? But they say that [...]

• To you, my readers

• So much on my mind

  Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

• Communism is a fruit

  Monday, March 12th, 2007

  Overheard on the Glen Waverley train from Melbourne Central station on Saturday night…
  Girl A: So, like, what’s communism anyway?
