    There isn't one. Just an exit interview & presentation at the end of the rotation.

    What gets me is the graduate program is highly sought after with very few placements each year & we offer it to someone who obviously doesn't exhibit behaviours of our Alignment model.

    Anyone else notice something missing in the latest Trivago tv ad?

    Maybe he/she is related to someone high up in the company. Might explain the self-entitlement.

    The Aqua-Man movie is directed by an Aussie! Woot!

    Although NZ set a pretty high bar with Thor Ragnarok... but come on, Aussie!!

    Whilst on work travel, I use to be able to go on a few hours sleep then go back to work, no sweat.

    Nowadays I'm tucked in bed before I turn into a pumpkin (not Al Bundy's Pumpkin). I'm getting old. And feeling it too...

    You can't even re-enact the leg crossing scene from the Basic Instinct movie; get someone walk your dog without having being forced to leave your job.

    Not surprising when that region is home to a hotbed of gangsta impersonators called Menstrual Tension Society.

    I love discovering the little tidbits of background information from old toys I used to have.

    For example my brother and I used to love playing with a toy which consisted of two planes merging to form a robot. We never knew the background of the toy, but a few years ago I was randomly reading about the history of Power Rangers and how it was dubbed from the Super Sentai series. Lo and behold, I discovered the 8th Super Sentai series called Choudenshi Bioman (from 1984) and that the mecha which featured in this series was the very toy we played with!

    Just last night, I was reading about the “Unseen” Mechwarrior designs and came across a design which looked very similar to a small diecast robot toy I used to play with. After further digging around I found out I was playing with a figure from the Fang of the Sun Dougram anime (from 1981).

    Sadly I don’t have any of these toys anymore but it’s cool to finally discover the story behind them and that they were actually licensed merchandise, not just some random cheap generic toy.
