After five or so minutes of driving blind and calmly panicking I notice a BP. I change lanes and I quickly pull into the car park and park my car. I put the air con on high, removing my phone from its case a blast the back of it in the cool air, bringing it back to a normal temperature. Once back at the normal temperature I re-enter my destination and I am on my way. A short 45 minutes or so I have parked at the QVB and am on my way to meet Jade. I call her to find out where she is. “Hello.” Jades cheerful voice greets me. “Where are you?” “I’m outside, near the big orange ball at Townhall. Wh ..read more

As many people know, especially my family and close friends, I am not great with directions. Giving directions or following directions. And the more confident I sound the worse it will be. That is their rule not mine. Geography in general I wouldn’t say is my particularly strong suit. This afternoon I was talking to Claire Bear, we’re going to visit her this weekend in Adelaide, she asks, “Can we go to the Barossa Valley?”   I say, sounding as confident as ever, “Of course, sure honey. We will do whatever you want.” When what I was actually thinking was, ‘Ummm, isn’t that in Victoria?’ So ..read more

An All too Familiar Taste

Over the last several weeks one of my monitors would slip into sleep mode every ten minutes or so, regardless of what I was doing. It was super annoying, but it really wasn’t a big deal it. It works just fine, and I can wake it up relatively easy. I would either flick the screen or shake it.  Neither option is great for it I imagine. Even though I was managing ‘just fine’ with it, my patience was starting to wear thin, and I was becoming more and more frustrated every time it decided to turn off. The final straw was during a leadership meeting. I was in the middle of the call, when the sc ..read more

I walk down the short corridor towards the stairs. Holding the cordless stick Dyson vacuum like a sword and I was great Knight about to go into battle. The cord of the charger, which was still attached to the vacuum, dragging on the ground between my legs behind me. I take the first step. The cord wraps halfway around my right leg then unwinds. I take the next step. The cord wraps higher around my left leg and then unwinds. This continues for the next couple of steps. The fast I go the higher and tighter the cord wraps around my legs. It’s like I am doing tango with a snake while going down th ..read more

The Aussie Language

The Australian language is an amazing and unique thing. The Australian language is unlike any other in the world. As I explained to my friend’s son last Thursday. As we sat around the café table waiting for our lunch to arrive, he announces to the group… “Happy Australia day.” Immediately I had to correct him, “Nah, Nah, Nah. It’s not Australia Day. Its Stralia day, the Au is silent like how the k is silent knowledge, or knee”. “Ustralia Day.” “Stralia Day.” “U-ssstralia day.” “Stralia day!” After a couple of minutes, he was saying it like a pro. “To speak and understand proper Australian you ..read more

The most embarrassing thing I have ever done happened to me today. Yes, it was more embarrassing than flashing everyone in the lolly aisle of Grafton Coles. It’s even more embarrassing than being asked to remove my pants in front of four female security guards at JFK airport. Hard to believe that anything would be more embarrassing than these two events… but this is. Since starting in my new role, I had done a couple of embarrassing things. Like face planting two doors in front of my bosses an hour apart. Getting stuck in a rotating door with my boss, where I told him calmly “Not to breathe be ..read more

Yesterday, was my first interstate flight for work. I am in a new role- life as a contactor, and I want to make a good impression to my new team. So, when they said they were taking me to Melbourne to introduce me to the team down there, I was excited and nervous. You see when I fly I have a few little rituals, like picking my own seat, it has to be a particular number and in a particular row, like 8b. But since work was organising it, no such luck when it came to picking my own seat. Not a big deal, a good friend told me “Just to suck it up.” Which was easier for them to say then for me to do ..read more

You know what it is like, to be so excited to see a movie? Well, that was literally me and Claire Bear yesterday. She had just gotten her results back from when she was abroad, they were excellent she had received the top mark in the course. I of course was the super proud Aunty. So, to celebrate I decided to take her to see a movie we had both been dying to see, the new George Clooney and Julia Roberts movie- you know the one I am talking about. I had decided the only way to celebrate would be to take her to Gold Class, which is the best way to see any movie, I think. We decided to see the 1 ..read more

Last night was Kristal’s birthday party, she was turning a number with a 0’ on the end, I will leave it at that. She had decided on an 80’s theme ‘Dress from someone in the 80’s’ not my most favourite era, but I could make it work. There was only one obvious choice for me, Whitney Houston- I Wanna Dance with Somebody. Now, this didn’t require a lot, a pink dress, and my hair needed to be curled. I tried curling it with a curling wand a few days ago. This is particularly tricky, especially because I am an neither octopus nor have eyes in the back of my head. So instead of how the box showed a ..read more

This morning I arrived at work early, before 8 am- which is usual for me. To enter the building, you have to go through the rotating doors, which are my arch nemesis. The other day I nearly got stuck between one of the panels and the door frame. I jumped in between the gap as it whizzed past me, while it was moving at speed, not bothering to wait the five seconds for the next opening. “Geeze Cass. That was close. We have to work on your timing.” One of my work friends said on our way to coffee after watching me, nearly get crushed by the door. “No, I have excellent timing. And reflexes like a ..read more
