Chapter 5

 

 

How long have I been asleep? It's getting dark out.

It's been the most bizarre and exhausting afternoon of sex I’ve ever had. 

My mission was to seduce Diana for the camera. But it was she who dominated me. I'll be compromised by that video too. My macho reputation will be ruined after how I behaved.

With my pants around my ankles, she caught me off balance and twisting her hip somehow, threw me onto my back on the bed. Then she calmly climbed on top; pinned my shoulders with her knees and forced herself down over my face. I struggled to get free, flailing my legs, but she slapped me down with her fists to my kidneys so hard that I gave up. It was as if I was being raped by her, for the camera. Anyway, I'd gone soft and couldn't have performed normal sex, so I had no option but to give in and do as she demanded.

Later, as we had sex properly, I thought of Geraldo watching that rape scene; or showing it to his mistress; or to his new friends; while they all laughed. My unmanly capitulation and then my growing arousal, as she enjoyed herself, will be obvious to anyone watching the video. If it gets out that a woman had her way with me like that, my reputation, around BA, will be ruined.

Geraldo probably knew his wife would do this to me and he wanted to have his revenge for those girls I stole from him, back when. Or maybe he collects porn videos of women dominating men? Well, he's going to be disappointed. Not only am I going to remove my prints, I'm going to edit out the first part of the video, before I send it on to him. There's more than enough regular sex on there to satisfy my part of the bargain.

The good thing is, that I've learnt what it is these upper-class bitches want from a gigoló. Once I gave in, and followed Diana's comprehensive instructions, the tables turned a bit and she was responding to me. So, it wasn't as bad as I'd imagined. No more one-night stands that lead nowhere for me. I'm going to make some real conquests, with generous women who keep coming back to me.

Diana's finished her shower and has put on a black silk robe. As she is obviously aware, it frames her pale, naked body and makes it seem even more lustrous. She smells fresh again and seems even more seductive than she did earlier. She seems to have bewitched me; or I'm falling in love. I suggest dinner and then ask, hopefully: if, maybe, I could stay the night?

"We can't go down for dinner together, if that's what you're thinking, so I'll call Room Service. And you'll have to go into the bathroom when they get here." she declares, picking up the phone.

I can't believe my ears! She's ordering a double serving of rare steak and some vegetable thing from the menu, without even asking me! She didn't even ask me how I like my steak. Just went ahead, as if I'm her child or a servant.

"So, is that a yes to me staying the night? And what if I don't like steak? You're being very high-handed Kikka."

"You're not my guest. You're my pickup. And now you've begged to be my toy-boy for the night. I'm paying - and this is Argentina, the home of the best steaks in the world. You'll eat it or you'll go hungry. Anyway, rare steak will compliment your newly acquired taste preferences." 

Now she's mocking me for doing those disgusting things for her!

His life in a can

A Short Story

 

 

"She’s put out a beer for me!   That’s so thoughtful!" 

He feels shamed, just when he was thinking she takes him for granted.

He’s been slaving away out here all morning in the sweltering heat, cutting-back this enormous bloody bougainvillea that she keeps nagging him about.  It’s the Council's green waste pick-up tomorrow and he’s taken the day off, from the monotony of his daily commute, to a job that he has long since mastered, to get this done.  

He’s bleeding where the thorns have torn at his shirtless torso.  His sweat makes pink runnels in the grey dust that is thick on his office-pale skin.  The scratches sting, as the salty rivulets reach them, and he’s not sure that he hasn’t had too much sun.  He knows he’ll be sore in the office tomorrow.

Manufacturing in Australia

 

 

 

This article was written in August 2011 after a career of many years concerned with Business Development in New South Wales Australia. I've not replaced it because, while the detailed economic parameters have changed, the underlying economic arguments remain the same (and it was a lot of work that I don't wish to repeat) for example:  

  • between Oct 2010 and April 2013 the Australian dollar exceeded the value of the US dollar and that was seriously impacting local manufacturing, particularly exporters;
  • as a result, in November 2011, the RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) reduced the cash rate (%) from 4.75 to 4.5 and a month later to 4.25; yet
  • the dollar stayed stubbornly high until 2015, mainly due to a favourable balance of trade in commodities and to Australia's attraction to foreign investors following the Global Financial Crisis, that Australia had largely avoided.

 

 

2011 introduction:

Manufacturing viability is back in the news.

The loss of manufacturing jobs in the steel industry has been a rallying point for unions and employers' groups. The trigger was the announcement of the closure of the No 6 blast furnace at the BlueScope plant at Port Kembla.  This furnace is well into its present campaign and would have eventually required a very costly reline to keep operating.  The company says the loss of export sales does not justify its continued operation. The  remaining No 5 blast furnace underwent a major reline in 2009.  The immediate impact of the closure will be a halving of iron production; and correspondingly of downstream steel manufacture. BlueScope will also close the aging strip-rolling facility at Western Port in Victoria, originally designed to meet the automotive demand in Victoria and South Australia.

800 jobs will go at Port Kembla, 200 at Western Port and another 400 from local contractors.  The other Australian steelmaker OneSteel has also recently announced a workforce reduction of 400 jobs.

This announcement has reignited the 20th Century free trade versus protectionist economic and political debate. Labor backbenchers and the Greens want a Parliamentary enquiry. The Prime Minister (Julia Gillard) reportedly initially agreed, then, perhaps smelling trouble, demurred. No doubt 'Sir Humphrey' lurks not far back in the shadows. 

 

 

So what has and hasn't changed (disregarding a world pandemic presently raging)?
