It’s not every day the Prime Minister drops by your workplace.
Perhaps we should be getting used to it at Mamamia because this is the second time it’s happened in a few months. Some have suggested we just be done with it and allocate her a permanent desk. And we already know how she likes her coffee (black, no sugar).
It’s going to be a huge day for me today and I am thrilled to be starting it by hosting Open Post right here in my old stomping ground at Mamamia. For those who don’t know (or remember) me I used to stomp about all the time on Mamamia as Managing Editor but lately I have been stomping over at iVillage.
iVillage is published by Mamamia and we all work in the same office. Like sister sites who braid each other’s hair. Dot com.
iVillage launched in Australia in July and Nicky Champ (former writer for MM) and I swiveled our chairs around from the Mamamia editorial room and started our own post-it empire on the neighbouring wall several metres away.
And today that wall is overflowing with posts-its saying things like “education” and “Julia Gillard” and “favourite teacher” and there is a little note saying “Don’t forget to charge your laptop and get rid of the crumbs in the keyboard” but that’s a note to myself.

There used to be this wonderful old saying, one swallow a summer does not make.
If you do get that desk....don't get it monogramed.
Did anyone catch QI Tonight? Apparently men who beat their wives used to be humiliated by the community. They would either make awful noise outside their house or parade them through the steets accompanied by 'rough music' clanging noise of united disapproval. Cool fact from history. We need to bring 'rough music' back.
