Friday I’m in Love

I like to buck the trend, I don’t like Fridays. I don’t like Fridays because I love my workmates.

Monday

*burp* “Guess which end? That was a lost fart. I can sing through my bum. If you ever want a demonstration, tell me.”

Tuesday

*Workmate with Manflu drinking a can of Coke*
Manflu to Workmate 1: “Did you want a drink?”
Workmate 1: “No thanks, especially if you licked around the rim.”
Workmate 2: “If that’s what you’re into …”
Workmate 1: “Don’t you use a straw for that?”

“Have you ever drunk hot Milo with a straw? It makes it hotter. You have to have warm Milo to make it work.”

*Workmate with lost look on their face*
Workmate: “I had a can of Coke, and now I don’t.”
Me: “Do you drink it with a straw?”
Workmate: “No, it makes it too fast and my brain gets bubbly.”

Wednesday

Investigation officers, awful-cers or orifices?

Thursday

*thoughtful eating of blueberry muffins throughout the department*
Me: “There is nothing that can't be solved with food around here.”
Workmate: “Except the loud toilet paper noises.”

Friday

*reading excerpt from CV*
“January 2008 – December 2010
The Perc Cafe
Barrister
Key Tasks: waitressing, making coffee”
Workmate: “You're hired, you're funny.”

They know that the water and energy wars are coming and they have a country with unique assets: No land borders Renewable energy resources Space and minerals Industries that specialise in extracting minerals Industries that can be turned to R&D and manufacturing An education system to get citizens to the point of carrying out necessary R&D And a politically apathetic population that believes whatever the politicians tell them through monopolised and crippled information outlets. To be honest, if I were a conservative politician in Australia (and the way I was brought up, I may as well be), this is what I would do to ensure my political and social survival: I would claim the government didn’t believe i

Real People and Sex

EDITED: Edited for correct and current use of language on 9 March 2015, thanks to the followers and admins at One Billon Rising Australia . The most important thing to acknowledge is that even when trying to argue that we think about sex in an unhealthy manner, I used words that encouraged the same unhealthy attitude. It's all around us, this language that judges only one person in the multi-person act of sex. The second thing to acknowledge is that eighteen months of reading a lot of women's writing from all over the world, and eighteen months of a lot of experience with and thinking about sex, does tend to change a woman! For example, my first mainstream publication, all about sexual practice, that you can read right here . I had a very illuminating conversation a few weeks ago with a friend in which we discussed a character in a play. The character was a prostitute sex worker and the action for her character in the narrative revolved around her picking up a client i
