Monday | Feb 13 2017FORGET the crockery and linen, couples tying the knot can now opt for pizza-themed wedding gifts, with Domino’s launching its very own gift registry. “We hear often from customers that Domino’s was a part of their big day, from proposals to after-hours meals at their wedding,” a Domino’s spokesperson said in a statement last week. “We wanted to make it easier for people to ask for and receive something that they’ll really use”. Couples can choose a selection of “cheesy” gifts and vouchers sure to keep their taste buds satisfied during post married bliss.

Confessions of a compulsive conference-goer 09 Feb 17: Conference Congestion
Thursday | Feb 9 2017I LOVE living in Sydney, despite the traffic. But over the years, after too many nervous car trips, cursing at the traffic and worrying I might run late for a job or a meeting, I’ve changed my approach. I leave an hour for travel. Unless I’m heading somewhere very close and I am sure there won’t be traffic, I simply build in an hour to my schedule. The CBD is about 10 kms away from home (my Maps App says it is a 22 minute journey by car) — but I leave an hour. The airport should be a 40 minute drive, but I always leave an hour. As a result, zero stress and I’m never late. No time-wasting because with mobile devices, if I arrive early (which happens 50% of the time) I grab a quick coffee or sit in the comfy office lounges in the foyer and get on with my work, the same work I would have done in my office before I left.
