I had my first career counselling session today, with our school’s career advisor, Harold. I didn’t really expect too much from it since I had no idea what I wanted to do after high school. My classes are a bit of a mess as I couldn’t decide on a pathway for my future. I’m taking …
I am beyond frustrated with my house! Every single nook and cranny has fallen apart at some point and it makes it impossible to feel comfortable anywhere. I can’t even call where I’m living a “home” at this point, it’s just the place that I sleep and spend the rest of the time walking around …
As the vast majority of millennials will understand, buying a home is a daunting and extremely difficult task. At the ripe old age of twenty-nine, I have finally saved enough to put a deposit on a house and ensure I have enough savings to act as buffer for general life and emergencies. It is invigorating! …
Being an electrician, I work very closely to a range of different people in various trades and levels of expertise. A normal day on site would have me liaise with every person whose job impacts mine, or mine theirs. Depending on the day, this could be anywhere between five to twenty people. The blokes I …
When you’ve been a travelling green crusader as long as I have, you get pretty good at the tricks. I try to get up at 6 am, take some time to eat a good breakfast and exercise. I’m out the door by 7:30. I manage to catch a few people before they rush off to …
People always talk about flying cars when mentioning unfulfilled promises of the ‘future’. Well, I’m still waiting for cyborgs. To be fair, this one is coming…really, really slowly. Some people have mechanical arms or legs with limited functions, and there are ones that scrape in my technicality, like artificial organs or pacemakers. But until you …
All I wanted was to spread some holiday cheer. If I’d known it was going to hit my wallet so hard, I wouldn’t have done it. Bringing jolliness to children is worth a lot to me, but man, not that much. There’s a lot of costs, it turns out, to running a Christmas-mobile. The tinsel …
I love the new snapper racks, I had them installed on the boat last night. I get so many compliments about them, everyone seems impressed. Contrary to popular belief, I’m not a tyrant of the seas. I don’t try to make myself out as some tough guy, or bad guy in anyway. I’m a sailor …
Oh man, I just got the best news ever. Our office is totally private now. I’ve been waiting months for this day. I was almost starting to think it wouldn’t happen. I can’t believe it: we’ve finally got window tinting. Now I can do my training in total privacy. People won’t come to the window, …
My wedding was a disaster! I hardly know where to begin. Almost everything went wrong. Everyone showed up late, the music was hijacked by my little brother, the catering service almost forgot about our order, and somebody replaced all the wine with apple juice! The only thing that came through for me was Melbourne’s best …
