@TastyWheat yes, I had to take the photo myself because I had no friends over there. Thanks for bringing that up.

p.s. I used the compassionate thing to get out of a tedious work-experience stint at a rural television station in Ballarat…
After making it to the end of my first day on Monday and knowing that there was no way I could return for the whole week, I thought of my dead dog and cried on Tuesday morning to the station manager about a family friend dying and how I had to leave early on Thursday to be there for the funeral on Friday. Instead, I left on Thurs, drove back to Melbourne, did my hair and went to the Monash Marketing Ball where I wrote myself off and slept most of Friday. =)

Just found your blog through a friend’s blog and love it. You’re a great writer and your previous posts have had me chuckling through a tedious afternoon at the office. Thanks =)

Yeah, you’re going straight to hell for that one, but i’m pretty sure you’ll see everyone you know there too!

@MrSpeaker – I was going to go with dead grandmother, but apparently one of the volunteers before me had already used that one!

@Cat – good point. I like to put it in perspective by thinking of everything that happened because of me going away (in terms of job path, relationships, etc, upon returning to Aus). I’d be in a totally different place now if I’d stayed (or never gone.)

@niki – I’m actually reading a book about Hell at the moment, and the recurring comment is that Hell is usually defined by absence. So the big question is, will there be a sun under which to tan?

@Zac – Och, you can! I will wait for you by the whorehouse if you promise to bring BBQ utensils.

@andy – knowing the area, I’d say the bucket was stolen or used to kill somebody.

I wonder what happened to the bucket? I bet it misses you, and hates Zoe..

I wish awesome stuff like this happened to me. Even more, I wish I could write like this.

Where do you want to meet up in Hell?

So I’ll be seeing you in Hell then yeah? At least by that stage we can smoke non stop and not have to worry about lung cancer! And think of the tans we’ll get there!!!
