A swan, a goose and a geezer

This is my final post as I am passing on the baton to Stephen. Stephen is shifting desks and will now sit near Leo in finance.

Leo, it has been an honour and a privilege.

leo chooses not to run

apologies for the lack of posts over the last two weeks. leo returned to the homeland to train and compete in the 110m hurdles at the beijing olympics. needless to say, despite or possibly and even more tragically, as a result of the weight of public expectation, whilst crouching in the starting blocks and in the hands of the starter, leo made a decision that skyrocketed him into a stratosphere of public scrutiny beyond that even of this blog. leo chose not to run.

the upshot of all of this is leo is back, where he belongs, sitting next to me in finance. more soon.

it's all relativity

last weekend leo and his mate neil worked out how to bend time. neil really likes mythbusters and leo had the afternoon off from the phone warehouse so they decided to dabble in a little quantum physics. after solving the puzzle that stumped einstein what did leo do? go back and win a million on gurner's lane in the melbourne cup? travel forward in time and bring back the cure for cancer? hang out with marty mcfly, doc and the delorean? no, to prove his mastery of the laws that govern the physical universe, leo wore his "casual friday converse" on a wednesday. C-R-A-Z-Y!

a source close to leo, known only as "mother goose" has confirmed our hero's predilection for taping various parts of his anatomy to accentuate his couture j-lo style.

in unrelated news, krystle is looking for her duct tape.

does my bum look big in these?

flying in the face of conventional wisdom, leo shook up the popular office tradition of casual friday. glamming it up in a pair of black jimmy choo pumps, leo took a twirl around the office, delighting all with his lightness of foot and subtle use of mascara. next week: leo's interpretation of fantasy football - can't wait!

leo says: let them eat cake.

leo celebrates finding the missing 23 cents from the IL account, a day according to leo, "only bettered by Budget Day and on a level with when I balanced the till at the phone warehouse."

is this leo that i'm feeling?

"Sometimes it can be difficult to tell someone how much you care. That's why we want to give you the opportunity to send that special person a love song dedication.

Just tell us whom you want to send a message to and why, and we will do our best to dedicate a love song especially to them from you."

so reads the website for Mix 106.5 Love song dedications. listen out next sunday for my dedication to leo. just add v and what have you got? that's right folks, love!

pilgrim, you've caused a lot of trouble this morning...

in the free for all that ensued re. how to spend a spare $49 dollars, leo's practical yet spiritual suggestion was a clear winner. a pope benedictine XVI commemorative wyd plate ticked all the boxes when it came to what the fairer sex was looking for when contemplating some discretionary spending. truly an impulse (from above) purchase. link to purchase said plate listed below.

was leo named after tolstoy?

the other day leo in finance was eating plain crisps. before devouring them however, he would dip them in bbq sauce. i enquired as to why he didn't simply eat bbq flavoured crisps. he replied, "i don't like the flavour". leo is very much like russia, a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

keep an eye on channel seven in the coming months folks because today i entered leo on deal or no deal. leo has promised to go all the way with andrew o'k so prepare to be swimming in cash and prizes courtesy of australia's favourite game show and australia's favourite guy in finance.

leo and chuck taylors

today leo is wearing his cons. he loves casual friday. he still has a sweater though. yesterday, in some weird oliver sachs moment, leo mistook mike's bike for a horse. oh leo - you raskol!

leo and his tea

2008-07-09T18:10:00.000-07:00

leo likes his tea in a glass - half boiling water, half cold. he leaves the tea bag in the glass. leo likes it strong and luke warm.

leo - my very brave mate

2008-07-08T17:30:00.000-07:00

yesterday i entered leo in the pride of australia medal. his categories are bravery and mateship. they didn't have a category for best sweater wearer which is a shame because he would kill it. also, got confirmation of his australian of the year entry - only cleo bachelor of the year to go. he's looking good for the triple-crown!

don't leave me this way

2008-07-08T17:27:00.000-07:00

leo is late this morning so, while i should be sitting near leo in finance, at the moment i am not. has something happened to leo? who will hand out the petty cash?

leo in finance is meant to be reimbursing me $20 for a taxi fare i paid when we had to go to crow's nest and record a voice over. leo in finance where is my $20?
