“How good are public holidays!? I really needed a day off,” says local trust fund recipient who hasn’t had a job since 2009

BURNOUT: A Paddington man says today’s public holiday has come at the perfect time, after what he describes as “a pretty full-on few months” of lunches, short breaks and low-level social fatigue.

“It’s just nice to finally switch off,” Mark Stanwell-Gibbons told DBT before heading into a one hour massage at the Langham Hotel.

However DBT understands the last time he had a job was more than 17 years ago during a one week internship at his father’s finance company.

The 41 year old says after his massage today he plans to have a quick nap, followed by dinner at Catalina and more bags at Club Rose Bay.

“I really need to let my hair down a bit before I go skiing in Japan next week.”
