Column 1

Blue-eyed
Colleague firmly believes today will be a Blue day – not only on the State of Origin clash but also in the US President elections.
Best joke
Waiting all year for this.
Still waiting
There are some agitated souls at the National Development Bank as they continue to wait for the K80 million from the Government to help small businesses. They are tired of fielding calls every day from the small people.
Another try
No matter how many times it has tried, with much publicity and fanfare, City Hall cannot appropriately address issues regarding betel nut in the capital city. A waste of money and resources.
New number
Have you tried giving a prank call to your friend on your new phone number? It is fun.
Daylight saving
Colleagues missed the annual Melbourne Cup yesterday because of the time difference. They thought it was going to start at 3pm but it had started an hour earlier, while they were still decided which horses to place their bets on.
Thought for today
You can sound confident and have anxiety. You can look healthy and feel down. You can look happy and feel miserable inside. So be kind, because everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
