A local man that has essentially made a living by opening doors and smiling at soon-to-be debt-riddled young families has today realised that winning an extremely vague award at a boozy industry event is the closest thing to an achievement that he’ll ever experience.
Despite the cool work phone and company car he gets to use on Wednesdays and Fridays, Larry Washington (31) says the real perks come from the corporate dinners that his boss pays $300 per head for his entire boiler room of property sales staff to attend.
“I picked up best newcomer to the North-West region – I was up against a few of the greats as well”
By greats, Larry means other young people who dropped out of a business/media degree in their second year because they wanted to save money to go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip through South-East Asia with their school friends who work in trades.
However, his ill-thought out approach to a formal traineeship or tertiary education is nothing but deeply buried life regret, after taking home a gold-resin trophy with a plaque that shows his name engraved in small text underneath his bosses family name, which is in much bigger text.
“It’s pretty cut throat” he says, desperately trying to convince himself that there is even a remote shred of relevance attached the series of awards that have just been handed out to coked up market manipulators by special guest MC, Andrew O’Keefe.
