Albert just handed me a job application that was posted in… from BEIRUT. I’m not joking. It’s got about five Lebanese stamps on it with matching postmarks and an “International Post” sticker. It’s a normal enough application, except that she’s not in Australia and admits she doesn’t have citizenship, residency, or a visa. How weird is that? Does she want us to sponsor her for a worker’s visa? If so, why’d she put down that she’d prefer part-time work? She didn’t even list an e-mail address so I could write her back. If this is a practical joke, it’s a good one!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Into the round filing cabinet under the desk.
At least we’ll have some additions for Mrs. M’s stamp collection…
