Why can't life come with a remote control?
If you look at the comments on here it seems we all want greater control of our lives. We want control over our jobs, relationships, leisure time, bodies, the weather, the waves, flying monkeys…you name it. How good would it be if life came with a remote control? That awesome date the other night - hit rewind and keep enjoying it over and over. A long day at work? Fast forward and 8 hours will feel more like 5 minutes. Feeling tired after a big night out? Hit pause and take some time out to recover. Got a moment you'd rather forget? Then just record something new over it. Surely someone out there can make us one? So who's up for the life remote? Patent Pending.

Why can't you have real taste and zero sugar?
How good would it be if weekends started on Wednesdays? Or if your boss came with a mute button? Or a big night out with the boys came with zero morning afters? Living life without all the negative stuff, finding your own path, doing things your way isn't that hard, you've just go to embrace the zero. Zero limits with zero consequences. You want a life of zero plans? It's your choice. Zero New Year's resolutions? You're in the driver's seat. Zero weekends of Sunday shopping with your girlfriend? You have the power. And a drink with real taste and zero sugar? Consider it done. Coca-Cola Zero gives you real taste with no negative consequences. Simple as that! It makes sense to embrace the idea of zero when you have the power to let go of the negative stuff in your life. Give it a go…we reckon you'll be hooked!

Why can't a hard day's work come with a happy ending?
Unless you happen to be a trust fund baby, a lottery winner or in possession of a sugar mamma/daddy, you're going to be spending a good part of your life working for a living. Sometimes you'll like your job, sometimes you'll loathe it but it will always feel a lot more bearable if you give yourself some sort of reward at the end of the day. You put in the hard yards, so why can't a hard day's work come with a happy ending? I think it's time we all take matters into our own hands and make sure we give ourselves that happy ending as the work day grinds to a halt. Maybe your happy ending is a drink with the boys, maybe it's dancing on table tops in a smoky club until 3am, or maybe it's cheering on your local jelly wrestling team. Whatever it is, reward yourself. You deserve it!

Why can't my life plan be zero plans?
From an early age we're encouraged to plan our lives. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" is a common question thrown at you when you're barely out of nappies. In high school you're supposed to know exactly what career path you want to follow, and then after that it's planning for a wife, a home, kids, retirement, death! Somebody stop the treadmill, I wanna get off! Who's making the rules here? Why can't my life plan be zero plans? Some of the best times in my life have been unexpected, out of the blue, right out of left field. If you're open to the randomness of life, what starts out as an ordinary day at work could end with you sky diving out of a plane at 12,000 ft, dancing the lambada (the forbidden dance) with an exotic stranger, or jetting off to Paris with Miss November for a weekend of romance. Sure, it might also be just another ordinary day but you'll never know if you stick to a rigid plan. So embrace zero plans! Take the road less travelled, it's a whole lot more fun!

why can't I channel the passion of my sporting heroes at work?
There's a lot to love about summer - the heat, the beach, the holidays, that kind of thing - and of course a long, satisfying season watching the Aussie cricket team assert their dominance (if there is any justice in the world) over the rest of the cricket playing universe. So I took my own advice and scheduled a "sick of work" day yesterday (sure, I've just enjoyed a few public holidays over the Christmas period but the "sick of work" illness can't be cured overnight). I headed out to the cricket and witnessed a pretty disturbing sight: the Aussies were getting grief from cricket officials for appealing too much and Brett Lee was given an official reprimand! Why can't they be passionate about their sport and passionate about winning without getting a rap over the knuckles? And then it hit me: I can really relate to our boys slogging it out on the cricket pitch. There was the time I finished that long, tedious report and screamed out "HOWZAT??" or the time I wanted to leave work early and the umpire, sorry, my boss, ruled a no ball and I appealed with a passionate "C'MONNNN!!!!" The stern lecture in his office afterwards seemed to indicate he didn't approve, strangely enough. But I say why not? Why can't I emulate the passion of my sporting heroes at work and be taken seriously? Why can't I unleash the fire in my belly and have my boss smile fondly and tell me he admires my passionate approach to life? Wear your passion on your sleeve, I say. Better out than in…

why can't deadlines be flexible?
At my workplace we're often reminded about the need to be flexible: "Oh, I don't think you'll be able to take holidays then", "You'll need to work back every night this week", "a pay rise won't be possible at this time but we do appreciate your flexibility." Well, in the spirit of flexibility, I have a few questions. Why can't deadlines be flexible? If I'm running a little behind on that monthly report why can't I push out the deadline to a time that better suits my schedule? Why can't I change the end date on that big project to, oh, I don't know, December 2009? It's a two way street people. Let's see that flexibility working both ways. Mr Boss Man, I'll have that report to you, um…when I get to it. What the workplace needs is zero deadlines that can't be moved.
