Wednesday, July 13, 2005it's 2:30 in the morning!Tamworth was fun. I worked. then I got the flu. then I worked some more.gluk crashed and burned the other day. so i've wordpressed the hell out of it! I was gonna use Mambo which is supposed to be a "content management system" but two days later, lots of pain and not enough sleep will break a man! I have a love/hate relationship with computers! So mambo didnt work cos it's really professional and let's face it, I'm NOT. i spend two days trying and i resorted to wordpress which took 5 minutes to install and upgrades directly from the old greymatter blogging program. WHY WHY WHY!!!!! ARGH ARGH ARGH!! HATE! KILL! ROOT! ?? Went to the art gallery, today. saw some art. art is good.

We'll see....posted by drjuggler @ 11:17 AM EST [95 Comments] [more] Saturday, July 2, 2005What Happened to Jolt Cola?
Anyway, if you go to the website [joltcola.com], you'll find the latest developments in Jolt Cola technology. Resealable Battery-like bottle. Thermosensitive power meter on the side. New Logo (not as cool as old one). It's all changed, it'll never be the same! In other Shane news, I'm heading off to Tamworth on Monday for my week of emergency medicining in the country. Catchya. posted by drjuggler @ 10:05 PM EST [1527 Comments] [more] Wednesday, June 29, 2005Increasing social phobia!I have a deep-seated phobia of retail staff. The worst are sports-shoe salesman, everything goes sympathetic overdrive around them. Ironic, because I love sports-shoes so DAMN much. I think it's been a slow, insidious process.Firstly, most retail staff are not helpful. -> "Can I help you?", they say. "yea, i've been staring at these two boxes of VCRs and apart from being different brands they sound nearly exactly the same but they cost different... why?", I say. ... [retail guy starts staring at boxes as well for a few minutes] "ahh... well, it's because they're different brands..." ("yea, i know, i can stare at the boxes too!" I think) Secondly, I think they have a position of authority and I am disenfranchised by a system run by dictators. "can I help you?" actually means "if you have no shopping agenda or purchasing power, why the hell are you in my store?" Yup, I know, I'm the one with the problem. Anyway, now for today's tale, it has strengthened my retail paranoia. I was browsing the vitamin section of the supermarket-style Roy Young Chemist, Chatswood. "Can I help you?", says the overweight, middle-aged, bespectacled Trogg-man "No, I'm right..." (i avoid all conversation with "bad people"). I meet up with my mother and we go through the large store getting vitamins, soap, toothpaste and other assorted health and hygiene products. Trogg-man starts following me past the vitamin section and into the moisturiser area. That's odd. When I stop, he stops. When I move, he moves. We walk amongst the toothpastes and dental floss, he's still following me, it's been two aisles! Surely he doesn't suspect I stole something. I'm totally hanging out with my mum buying dental floss! Mum asks if i've run out of soap. "yea, I just run to the Nivea Range an aisle over." So i dash off and out of the corner of my eye, I see Trogg-man's momentum shift from hiding behind boxes and vague interest in oral hygiene into high gear, running up to the Nivea range and then into a dead stop when I am in direct view, again. Then I skip back to mum. "That man's following me", I mumble. "i know.", mum mumbles back. always lurking a few step behind and trying to stay out of my view. He doesn't make eye contact but stalks me (always within a 2m radius). Hovering and feigning interest in his surrounding but only having eyes for his victim-consumer. This goes on for the entire shopping experience. [at least 15 minutes] I am freaking out! It's all gone terribly wrong! I'm being stalked but Trogg-man. He's going to GET ME! palpitations ... the sweats ... the panic ... We pay at the cashier... Mum has racked up over 150 bucks in stuff. She pays. We are about to work out. "Is that everything?" Trogg man, Thin-haired and sweaty, hovers behind my right shoulder. . "yea, that's it..." confused I am... We walk out.

The first doctor i talked was an intern..what was his name? ... "Mahboob". Where was he from? ... "Bangledesh". 'nuff said.I saw a lady who had a fish bone stuck behind her uvula (dangley bit in back of throat). I thought Coca-Cola may help. But, alas, the waiting room vending machine only had pepsi. Pepsi Max did not work. I pulled it out under direct vision with forceps. The nurses debated if there is a difference between Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Any cola-drink aficionado will tell you there is a vast difference... Surely even the pH is different. posted by drjuggler @ 01:02 AM EST [182 Comments] [more] Sunday, June 26, 2005Nothing SundayDidn't go to the gym. Went to juggling in Hyde Park. No one turned up.
