An explanation of The Joy Division Litmus Test
Although it may now be lost in the mysts of thyme, the poll below is still relevant to this blog. In the winter of 2008, Mele and I went to live in Queensland. In order to survive, I bluffed my way into a job at a Coffee Club.
It was quite a reasonable place to work: the hours were regular, the staff were quite nice, it wasn't particularly taxing on my brain.
There were a few downsides: In the six weeks or so that I worked there, there was about a 90% staff turnover (contributed to by my leaving). This wasn't seen as a result of the low pay, the laughability of staff prices or the practice of not distributing tips to staff, rather it was blamed on the lack of work ethic among Bribie Island's youth.
However, one of the stranger aspects of the cultural isolation that touched our lives during our time "up there" was the fact that nobody at my work had heard of the band Joy Division.
The full explanation is available here.
But please, interact a little further and vote in my ongoing poll. The results are slowly mounting up, proving one thing: people read this blog are more well-informed about Joy Division than anyone who works at the Coffee Club on Bribie Island.

Man I miss Yiros! Especially those tasty organic ones from Fast LIFE Organic Cafe (280 Rundle street RADelaide).
ReplyDeleteNow to actually read your blog...
PS you and Mele have REALLY shifty eyes in that pic - like you are up to something??
It looks like you've blown Moifey into the weeds! Unless he can come up with a final, show-stopping piece of personal information so creepy that ... actually, bugger it. Just watch the damn video and wait with baited breath and sweaty palms until Friday when The Invitation finally hits your screens.
ReplyDeleteThis was a another TEASER. Repeat: ANOTHER TEASER. Be watching Friday to discover venue and time and be amazed at how truly, obsessively far I will go to procrastinate and avoid just sending a mass sms, just like everyone else does on their birthdays...
You are truly a Man among men, Sam-Zero.
ReplyDeleteBut sadly I shall not make a showing at your shin-dig since I stay safely in Singapore and should surely miss the shenannigans. It does seems a substantial shame to shirk my rSvp.
So-long and suck-sh!t Moifey!
PS: I too champion the cause of procrastination!
Some of those video shots have me thinking.......(whispering here), are you and your lovely wife expecting an addition to your little family?
ReplyDeleteO.o. Sam - Awww, come on! You haven't even seen the real invitation yet!
ReplyDeleteRiver - Why ever would you think that? What particular photo gave it away? How the HELL did you even manage to see any of them?!?
How the HELL? Watched it several times.
