IMPORTANT NEWS.

Some very important pieces of information:

1. Parker's now make banana bread flavoured pretzels. They are worth seeking out. If nothing else, then because they're cheaper than buying real bananas these days (I bought a single banana for $3.50 yesterday. BARGAIN).
2. Twisties now come in cheeseburger flavour. They are also worth seeking out, especially if you are the weird person who steals everybody else's discarded pickles when eating at McDonald's AKA me.
3. The Nuffnang-sponsored Canberra bloggers meet-up will be held at Cream on Sunday June 17th from 2-4pm. It will be worth attending (for the following reasons: cake, coffee, company, endless opportunities to whore it up in front of 863876396 bloggers' cameras).
4. Tomorrow my work releases a new report on the health and wellbeing of young people in Australia. The graphic designer ran out of appropriate stock photos, so I will be featured on the cover as 'token young office-worker woman,' engaged in a very serious phone conversation while wearing a man's business shirt.
5. Because one CLAIM TO FAME was not enough for this particular camera-hussy, I will also soon be featured in a recruitment video on the jobs page of my work's website. In this, I will star as the following: girl walking up stairs carrying yoga mat; girl leaving the building while cheerfully greeting some co-workers (for the record, the off-camera dialogue was 'HAHAHA OH HI JEREMY. WHY ARE YOU SO GAY ALL THE TIME? HAHAHAHAH WOW YOU SURE ARE LOOKING HOMOSEXUAL TODAY. HAHAHAH OKAY BYE.' because I'm very mature and enjoy belittling my colleagues); girl sitting on floor in 'yoga' poses; girl sitting at desk having a pleasant conversation with Token Black Guy #1.
6. I'm planning a road trip with a few friends, purely to visit one of the only surviving Pizza Hut restaurants - as opposed to takeaway/delivery places - left in Australia. I am so excited to be reunited with my beloved salad and dessert bar. I can hardly sleep.
7. I still can't fit into any of my jeans. #s 1, 2 and 6 may have something to do with this.

Fin.

  1. Babe, I just love you.

    1.I've already eaten the entire 6-pack bag of banana bread pretzels. I was so excited to buy them, then a bit grossed out by the flavour, then happy again when I dipped 'em into sunflower seed butter.

    2. I shan't ever admit to my brother that I'm the one who ate half the jar of the USA Foods pickles he'd only just bought and hadn't opened yet last weekend.

    3. YES!!!!!!!!! Dear god, I have to get a new camera by then.

    4. Email it to me! I need to give you my work address. It is [myname]@[mywork].org.au

    5. For a CALD-focused workplace, we don't have any token black men. Fail.

    6. OMG FLAVOURLESS JELLO SQUARES WITH FLAVOURLESS SPRINKLES!!!

    7. Buy new jeans. I'm working on growing out of mine too :D

  2. I am super impressed by your upcoming photo fame! I seem to recall being 'recruited' for a similar 'look how seriously involved in this piece of paper I am' photo ;) Actually. I have no idea where that photo actually ended up?!

  3. How are the cheeseburger Twisties? I saw them today and I was very tempted. I like the Parker's Tomato and basil pretzels but banana bread? That sounds unusual!
