Friday
Interview on Monday for a new job I applied for. I work in the Department of Correctional Services as an Education Coordinator; I’m applying for a Quality Assurance role, one I’ve done before, out of the prison in Head Office. It’s only temporary at this stage (4 months) but at least it’s an extra 10 grand for a while if I get it. I don’t mind if I DON’T get it; at least it’s nice to get to the interview stage. I normally do well at interviews. A colleague and I were joking today about answering all the interview questions with random quotes from Pulp Fiction; wouldn’t you love to do that?...
Listening to triple J on the radio on the way to work this morning this song came on. I must say, Australian music is excellent right now; I really don’t think we need to 'make it' in Amerika any more to be ‘accepted’…
I’ve already written two paragraphs and I’ve still got to mention the cufflinks and, of course, the shave…
Cufflinks were antique hand painted pheasants behind glass; intaglio style…
Shave was nice; the sensitive scents of the Nomad and O Melhor combined well in the Über…
(listen to the song, it'll make you feel good, I've played it about 20 times tonight at least (I post my post in the evening, in a vain hope to 'coincide'))
Razor: W&B, lovely Pre Shave: Proraso, as always Überlather: Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad/O Melhor/Glycerine After Shave: Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar, to make me smell like a gentleman Eau de Toilette: Burberry ‘The Beat’ Cufflinks of the Day: Antique hand painted pheasants behind glass

Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
