To give my readers an accurate depiction of what I’m dealing with daily, I’m starting a new series: Portrait of a team member.
There are 9 other members of my team, one Senior and one Manager. To protect privacy, and to protect me if they ever find this blog, I’m using pseudonyms for them.
For the inaugural [...]

Life Again
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Uncategorized on July 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
There are some days where you’re just so tired you can’t see straight. And still you go on.
And on these days you normally have something to look forward to, usually it’s at the end of the day.
When what you were looking forward to turns out to be a huge disappointment and doesn’t live up to [...]
A Saturday night at my house
Posted in Giant Babies, Nigel, personal on July 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Two weeks ago one of my closest friends had his 21st party. This coincided with Nigel having a week off so it seemed perfect. Nigel is a baker, you understand, so he always has to start work anytime between 1 and 4am. Going out is not often an option for him. [...]
Life

Sometimes I wonder why I even bothered getting out of bed.
Today I’m just grateful for the bottle of wine waiting for me in my fridge. Less than an hour to home time, an hour after that I will be chilling with my chilled alcohol.
I guess on bad days you have to make sure you [...]
Cary Brothers – Honestly

Think I’m goin home
I think I’m gettin lost for a while
…
So I’ll file away all my dreams
Though I still believe in everything
…
Honestly over you
Honestly over you
One lie short of true
Honestly over you
…
Lookin for some hope
Polished off the whiskey tonight
You turned a man to stone
For lookin at you straight in the eyes
Full lyrics, without the omitted [...]
A second post on hormones and birth control
Posted in birth control, doctors, hormones, ovaries, tagged birth control, doctors, hormones, ovaries on July 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, if I’d realised how many hits I’d get from a post about birth control, hormones and hair, I probably would have written more much sooner.
Ok. First, a note. DO NOT USE HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL TO LOWER THE AMOUNT OF HAIR ON YOU. JUST DON’T DO IT.
It does not matter how much [...]
Major Newspaper gets it right (almost)
Posted in exploitation, smh, tagged exploitation, PETA, smh on July 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
for once.
An article discussing PETA’s misogynistic tactics. It doesn’t condemn the sexism enough for my taste, but it is a mainstream newspaper.
At this point I’ll take what I can get.
More Arsehats at Work
Posted in arsehats, idiots, office, overheard conversations, sport, tagged arsehats, idiots, office, overheard conversations on July 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This morning a radio station had a ‘debate’ on whether or not men should play women’s sports. This sparked a conversation amongst my workmates that I overheard and questioned them on (I hadn’t heard the radio originally).
When I happened to mention that there’s no such thing as “women” sports, that it’s not actually possible [...]
Disappearing Act

I’ve been absent. A combination of work, life and laziness intervened with my good intentions and stopped me from posting.
This will probably happen weekly, but I will always try to catch up on the weekends. I was extremely drunk on Friday night and extremely sore yesterday, so this weekend was a bit [...]
