I’ll Speak To Your Supervisor

July 12, 2010

You know what, people? Calm down. Just take a deep, soothing breath and caaaaaaaalm down. If everyone keeps tottering about the place as tightly wound as they are right now, we’re all going to do ourselves a damage. Every day we are forced to face unnecessary rudeness from people. And we, in turn, are unnecessarily [...]

It Isn’t Called ‘Cheetah Week’

January 22, 2010

Sometimes there is such a thing as too much media spin. One of the perks of my job (and I use the term “perks” about as loosely as Ke$ha uses the term “singer”) is the random assortment of media releases I get from the most bizarre of places. I don’t know how my name ended up [...]

What I Did On My Holidays

January 6, 2010

You know the worst part about returning to work after a Christmas break, regardless of its length? It’s not having to go back to a regular routine of waking up early, eating properly and wearing pants. It’s something much, much worse. I might be exposing myself as some kind of horrible misanthrope here; but I really, really hate having [...]

I Never Liked Tania Zaetta Anyway

October 29, 2009

A few weeks ago the Australian Commercial Radio Awards were held. A person with a wankerish streak would call it “radio’s night of nights”. I have a wankerish streak, so that’s what I’m calling it. It was radio’s night of nights! All the radio stars hoping to win a coveted trophy attended, dressed for success; [...]

Get Your Hands On My Tackle

July 3, 2009

I recently wrote a commercial for a fishing store that left me feeling…dirty. This in itself is not uncommon. I write commercials for a living – some days just setting foot in my office makes me feel dirty. Especially on days when I know someone is going to force me to write (or at least [...]

OH&GS – Occupational Health & Genital Safety

June 23, 2009

The building I work in is rather unconventional. This is an understatement in the same way that saying “Lady Gaga is slightly contrived and whorish” is an understatement. Forty-two people are forced to work for 40+ hours a week in what can only be described as a cross between an amenities block and a Turkish [...]
