Subscriber Special: This is my first Subscriber Special, which means this article will only come as an email, and won’t be posted on my website. Thank you for your support. I have been wondering how best to evaluate my current job, and unsurprisingly, I turned to my trusted friend and confidante, ChatGPT. After three months…

I don’t know how, but another Monday ends with me being unwell again, this time with a gut ache and nausea. Good grief.

I entered the FIFA World Cup Drop today, and all things considered, it was an 8/10. The Drop is where you essentially get to choose the city you prefer, but nothing more. From there, you get a random allocation to two things, the Country and the Club World Cup. We’ve all heard of the Country…

Yeaterday, Ky and I took our daughter to the park for a few olives and a beer after work. It was a gorgeous day, and the perfect way to wind down. What happened next could have been written in a poorly reviewed 90’s comedy flick. The place where we had set out our picnic blanket…

There is a guy I follow on YouTube called Xiaomanyc (obviously not his real name), who is a polyglot. He’s the most average looking white dude who lives in New York City, but he has a real talent: he is completely fluent in Mandarin. His schick is going to Chinatown, and starting a conversation in…

I took today off after waking up feeling rubbish. Thank you to everyone who messaged, mind you! Spending a day recovering isn’t going to be on the highlights reel, but one thing that I wanted to point out was how easy it was to organise with work. I sent three messages, one to my boss,…

I’ve contracted an illness, and it hasn’t been nice. Sore throat, swollen glands, fatigue. It’s a drag. I don’t have a strategy to fix it bar going to the chemist, picking up a bunch of stuff, and trying it all at once. Vitamin C, multivitamins, cold and flu tablets. Fingers crossed I’ll feel better in…

I am heading back to Aus for a week in August, for reasons I’ll share in a later post. Most of it will be in Sydney, but I’ll spend two nights in Melbourne to spend some time with my sisters. On Friday night, we were hoping to go to the MCG to watch the football;…

Newcastle United, the stress and misery-inducing Premier League football club, has decided they want to change their logo. There are many divisive things in football, that’s why people like it, but this has unified the fan base around one decision: don’t. The club only started wearing a crest in 1969, and have kept the current…
