The King of Bling
Update Day

Yep, it's that time again; it's nearly the end of week three (of our Shove with Love Project) and it's time for you habit changers to report in as instructed. You know the drill - click on the comment thingy and tell us how you're travelling with your 28-day commitment to change that stinky, sucky, yucky habit.

I've had a busy week travelling and speaking so I apologise for the reduced amount of personal development content this week, but I should be back up to speed next week. You can always dock my pay. Or stop talking to me.

Just got back in to Melbourne a few hours ago (I'm writing this Thursday 7pm) after darting up to Wollongong and Sydney for the day to give a presentation to the good folk at Alinta (the power people). They are a great bunch. I had to speak at 9am this morning in Wollongong, then get a car back to Sydney and then fly back to Melbourne this afternoon to be home by four(ish). A simple enough plan. No major problems. It all went swimmingly.

Forty Feet of Embarrassment

limoHowever (of course there's a however), when I finished my presentation I had some breakfast and then meandered outside to the place where I was told my car and driver would be waiting to take me to Sydney airport. So I did as I was told. And there they were; my driver and my car. The very lovely Jenny. And her forty foot long white stretch limousine complete with bar and entertainment system to take me to the airport. I may as well have had 'wanker' tattooed on my forehead.

I stood there staring at the car in disbelief. For what seemed like an eternity, I agonised over where to sit; the front (where I could be seen) or the back (which would confirm my wanker-ness beyond any doubt). What a dilemma. I opted for the front. To me stretch limos are kind of like breast implants - they stick out in traffic and say "hey look at me, I need some attention." They also say "I'm a big, insecure tool." (limos not breast implants).

The Middle-aged Pimp

So there I sat for my one hour trip looking like a middle-aged pimp up front in my big white ride. If I had some bling, a pair of platform shoes, a greasy wig and a jump suit, I could have easily been Gene Symonds. Every thirty seconds someone would stare from a passing car to see who was travelling in the porn star limo. I did my best to avoid eye contact but when I did inadvertently catch a glimpse of a passing motorist, they looked kind of disappointed to discover that sitting in front seat of the ridiculously long car next to them was... nobody in particular! I felt like holding up a sign that said 'not famous, don't waste your energy.'

Anyway, Jenny delivered me safely to Sydney airport and was the consummate professional. To be honest I expected paparazzi to be present as I alighted from the aforementioned vehicle but alas, there were none.

Clearly I wasn't wearing enough bling.

I'll see some of you Melbourne-ites at our get-together tomorrow and I'll see the rest of you (kind of) on Monday. Have a ripper weekend (ripper - Aussie for great).
Ciao x
