House Husband

29 04 2004

What a life!

Today I had the builder come round to fix a leak in the roof…

and the plumber to come look at the hot water cylinder.
Which is currently causing 10% of Sydneys water wastage.

If only they were hot chicks. Then I could understand the milkman/plumber jokes.. :D

In fact, theres a niche market to be served!
House husbands that want to get tradespeople around which are nice to perve at!

“Hot Female Tadespeople Services”
Why watch a stripper prance around not really doing anything constructive. Yet demanding Dancing Dollars.

When in this scenario. They have to get the job done. And they get paid very well at the end of it guaranteed! (and im sure there could be $ notes stuffed into their tool belt or such!

This is now pat. pending and © 2004 by me!



Recruiters = Leech of Society

28 04 2004

They don’t understand anything technical on your resume.

They all advertise the same job, in multiple different formats, different skills, different cities even!

Theyre keener than a stalker girlfriend when they think youve got the skills.

As soon as it takes more than matching 1 to 1… youre far too much effort.

$10k+ wasted… Yet it continues! ARGH!

Phishing

13 04 2004

I received a icq message today phishing to rip me/some random paypal suckers off..

NB they use your account as a clearing house for dud ebay auctions etc.
So the sucker transfers money into your account.

and then you send it to the scammers via western union. (NB your account will get frozen by you bank!)

OR

they transfer money into your account.
you withdrawl the money, and wire it to them via western union
they then reverse the transfer to your account.
leaving you $XXXX in debt with the bank..

Its Ma Birthday

8 04 2004

Its time to party!

Started off at bar333. Incidentally a very strange bar. The cocktail lounge upstairs is groovy. The Ground floor bar however played some very average 80’s music before progressing onto house. The TAB betting screens etc bring it down a bit.

We then went to Prated Thai on Pitt St. The food was awesome! and we spent ~$15/head it defiantely can’t be argued with.

Topping the nite off, we went to v-bar and then onto 3wise monkeys. Good to get your groove on with some tourists :)

Pics are here.
