Daily #20. Tuesday. 20/10/2026

What’s better than being a corporate wanker? Trying to be one!

That’s right, little old me, Greg, The Cackster (don’t ever call me that), unprofessionalism connoisseur and confessed hater of ties is applying to corporate athlete transition schemes. Quelle surprise.

So far, so bad. No one has wanted me beyond the interview stage. Upsetting, given I thought that was where I shined.

I was unprepared for companies these days requiring the S.T.A.R method to answer interview questions. 

I’m a quick learner though (per my CV). I now know S.T.A.R means: Show gym videos, Tell gym PBs, Aggressively flex then Reel scroll. 

Something like that. There was a very fat pigeon in my garden when they explained it.

Anyway, can you believe I’ve been unsuccessful so far?

On a serious note, I do have a mortgage and though I spent my previous life deciding corporate jobs wouldn’t suit me, I’ve learnt I’m actually a bit of a chameleon. Or an angler fish. Or a camel. Whatever adapts to different environments. 

As sport winds down I’m genuinely up for the corporate challenge, of learning something new and upskilling to payscales that allow me to buy Feta instead of Greek Style Salad Cheese.

Enjoy this Daily because, if a company does deign to give me a chance, I’ll probably have to delete it.
