Things I like about my new job:

• It only takes 35 minutes to walk to work - apartment-door to office-door


• I cross some of Melbourne's best eating and bookselling streets on my journey to and from work (Smith, Brunswick, Lygon)


• I can easily stop at Cinema Nova if I fancy a movie on the way home


• I can even walk through a park if I wanted to!


• I get to use a G5 Apple Mac


• I have a 22" wide flat panel display


• My rubbish bin gets emptied every night. _every_night_ I can put all sorts of things in there before I go home: drink bottle lids, used tissues, crusts, dead bodies, and when I come in the next morning BAM! empty bin! *magic*

Okay - mostly I just wanted to tell you about the bin thing - but thought I would pad out the list with other stuff. The bin revelation was a mighty finish though. Some people might argue it was interesting enough information that it alone could have been enough for a post - be that as it may: this post contains more interesting things about my day and I hope, Gentle Reader, it wasn't overwhelming.
