Fruit Salad and Mixed Veg

Another day.... and the boredom continues.

It is December 6, which means it is Nikolaustag! However, this is not celebrated in Australia. Actually, not much is celebrated here. The biggest event in Adelaide in the past 10 years was (a) The IKEA opening or (b) the zoo getting some pandas from China :|

Anyone got some self adhesive labels? I'd like to get one, write 'FAILURE' on it and stick it to my head.

I applied for the position of 'Sales assistant: Furniture' at a department store and received this email:

All of the applicants for this position were of an extremely high standard and made our task of shortlisting to the interview stage very difficult. On this occasion, we regret to advise you that your application has been unsuccessful.

This annoys me soooo much! I know of people with low literacy/numeracy levels who work in department stores!!! I don't know why I have such a hard time finiding a job. Do they not like the font I use in my resume or something?



This is me. Please advise me why no one wants to hire me (please do not write 'because you have bad spelling/grammar: I wrote this in 2 minutes)

How can a text book, without a hard cover cost $121.95?

I want to be able to buy FRESH prunes!!!!

Now my stomach hurts

Why do people start getting out of their seat on the bus when the bus hasn't even stopped? It must be built in human behaviour because people do it EVERYWHERE.

Woman in bus: "Look at how much ink we've wasted, printing stuff for Mum and Dad!"
Didn't your parents raise you, feed you etc? And you are complaining about some INK?

I saw a kangaroo on my walk yesterday I also saw a fig tree, other trees and rocks....lots of rocks.

Going to the dermotologist is surprisingly fun:)

Am I the only person who, when in a waiting room, doesn't smile at the baby in the waiting room? (there is always a baby in the waiting room)

As someone who has studied music at school and actually plays instruments, I know that most popular music is quite basic. This video highlights this fact.
