You know those days when your to-do list is completely out of control? Like, you tick one thing off and two more new additions crop up in its place, like some kind of administrative hydra? That’s what I’ve been experiencing all week. I don’t even know where it’s all coming from – it’s as though …
“How do you think the others are doing?” I asked, looking toward the glass bottle that Space Wizard sat within. His bottle was inside the new office’s refrigerator as I was setting up the air conditioner. Melbourne had decided to give us a blistering forty-degree day in the middle of winter and although Space Wizard …
Do you ever wonder where they get steel from? I know what the official story is, about mining, ore and factories, but I just find it a bit suspicious. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing a lot of Space Zone, the old video game, but its plot got me wondering if there’s more to the …
The Dirge is going to thrash the other competition on Next Top Office. He – that is to say, the one writing this blog post – has such a huge advantage that he probably shouldn’t even be on the show. And now that Space Wizard has been liquified, his biggest rival is the Glass Smashing …
Oh man, is it that time of the year again? Ever since I was twelve my parents have made me go to a career counsellor once a year to make sure I don’t want to adjust my career plan. Every time I tell them that I haven’t changed my mind but they never listen. Why …
I’m the owner of a wedding car company in Melbourne.

It’s happened again! Another bestseller slipping through my fingers, falling to another agent that has snatched it up and sold it for thousands of dollars at auction. Why do you do this to yourself, Janet? You should have known better. Obviously the public wants to read about mechanics who at the very end of the …
It takes more energy than you might think to produce 50 floor-length gowns covered in gold beads sewn on by hand. Okay, sure, it actually sounds like quite a lot of energy, when I put it like that. But even so, there’s more to it than you’re probably picturing, and I’m not just talking about …
These accursed moon shoes! I swear, these shoes simply must be from the moon, made for the moon-folk that live there. It’s the only possible way they’d fit anyone’s feet. I keep thinking of my wizard brothers, working in jobs where they can wear whatever shoes they like, like Fizzibottom in the luxurious hamburger creation …
I’m conducting a survey for the Australian Bureau of Random Statistics, to find out why important people and companies had window tinting done. This is the first field job I’ve been given, and I’m really enjoying it, despite all the weird people you come across out in the world. It’s been a really enlightening experience, …
