Moving on

Uncategorized

Hi, Am I glad it’s Friday! What a week. Sheesh. I feel like a hamster that’s been through an angry pinball machine. 🙂 None of this is T related. Just the punch-and-you-better-duck of life in general. A parking ticket at work, meetings, botched appointments, website woes*, and other malarkey that frankly…. and as the immortal line goes, “I’m getting too old for this shit.” 🙂 The above is all sorted out, but I could have done without that type of stress. Other stress, like deadlines, workload, and short bursts of dysphoria, I manage to cope with. It’s not so much the pressure, but the feeling of being trapped and unable to fix things that gets to me. Then, things get […]

Fun raising

Uncategorized

Hi, Funny how life goes sometimes. A few months ago, I was rather busy at work, rushing to various presentations and finding the day zipping by quickly. At home, things were calm and yet, a few weeks later, matters have swapped around. Last night we ran a StartUp September event at Chams. This was part bring & buy, to advice session. Along with a few others, I think I was on my feet (in heels) for two, possibly three hours (Maths isn’t my strong point. Ask me one on accessorising 🙂 ). Perhaps I should have gone with the slightly lower posh office style shoes, but hey ho, lessons learned 🙂 I’d bought two boxes of clothes, shoes, jewelry, and […]

Today, only the sky is blue

Hi, As I drove to work the other day, the radio presenter was waxing lyrical about the new Apple smartphone and it’s unlocked using a view of your face. I was perplexed in as much as my old droid phone had this a while back, how well does face recognition work when you’ve, ahem, two appearances? 🙂 Also, politicians, usually two-faced; how do they manage? 🙂 Sometimes, I wonder about reverse image searching or facial recognition. How hard is it to spot the connection between Richard & Lynn? One’s just a fancy outfit, slap and a wig from the other. But at the same time, I think if you worried about everything, you’d not do anything. Anyhoo, I switched off the […]

Found my smile

Uncategorized

Hi, Last night’s visit to Chams was just what I needed. Funny isn’t it, how just a few hours as you (or more accurately, all of you) makes so much difference. Firstly, a note of thanks to those of you who asked after me. Either via PM, email, this ol’ blog, or face to face. Secondly, an apology from me over the somewhat darker tone of late. How can I put this? I had the most excellent holiday with my family. Some travel, a variety of hotels, great food, beautiful scenery, and many days together, rather than at the colouring in department. What’s not to like? 🙂 /sighs I can’t put my finger on things exactly, but my guess would […]

Hi, As I walk along the corridors and see others, sometimes the Green Eyed Monster draws her claws. But outside of my head, what’s going on in the minds of others? There’s that phrase “Be kind: You never know what others are going through.” Back when I was young, when someone asked me that “what superpower would you want?” I’d often say I’d like to be able to read minds. To truly know what someone was thinking. Trust issues anyone? 🙂 Jokes aside, I think it might have been to try and understand if everyone was a messed up as me. I think as I’ve got older, the quick answer is there’s no one normal. We’re still kooky in our […]
