It’s been a long week and I’m very tired. Staying at a home style hotel on Tuesday made me realise just what a difference a good nights sleep makes. I rarely get one nowadays (actually never). Something in me makes me think that getting sick might be a good thing as it would force me […]

I feel drained. This morning up at 5:30 to travel for work. I spent the whole train journey reviewing documents. I’m just outside my destination. I have to stay overnight (don’t have a hotel yet). It’s 9:05 and I’m already tired :(. I really hope this ends soon as I don’t know how long I […]

It really does get you down being in a grind. Last night I had a bath (as opposed to a shower), went to bed early and passed out around 21:30. Woke up at 23:00 and started thinking about the week ahead. It feels like a constant planning exercise, thinking about meetings, how to schedule people […]

… a large stomach ! I this case, going to places where the staff remember me and what I usually have isn’t always a good thing. Last night it was the Chinese restaurant, before I even sat down I was asked if I wanted a beer. This morning I went to the butchers to buy […]

It’s been a tough week. I guess I multi-task well, but when it comes to complex sets of data and analysis I need a lot of time and concentration to digest it which stresses me when I don’t have the time to do so. I’m getting more comfortable with cutting and slicing stats, but it […]

I feel embarrassed due to a purchase I made earlier at the newsagents. No, my hands didn’t wander to the top shelf of the magazine counter and purchase something. Actually I bought a copy of the Cambridge News ! The front cover story caught my attention and I needed a little light reading this morning […]

Ask any person what they imagine a garden in Oxford or Cambridge to be like and they’ll probably picture a well maintained lawn, a few choice shrubs. However, the reality is somewhat different in Cambridge as I’ve blogged before. However, I found recently that it isn’t limited to Cambridge- Oxford has the same problem. In […]

It’s been a hectic week, early starts, long days. I feel as if I’m in some sort of grind – no actually I’m in a grind. I’m not sleeping well and generally just feeling burnt out every morning. Things aren’t helped by the last 2 days having power cuts at work in the morning – […]

The past 2 days have been killers. This morning I was at my desk in the office at 7AM. Just finishing work at 12:30PM. I calculate that to be a ~17hr working day !

Sitting at my writing (not computer) desk tonight whilst sketching some slides for work made realise how visually appealing Apple products are. In this case, my MacBook Air randomly placed besides a recent purchase I’ve yet to properly setup and so on my desk (Mac Mini Server). Having OCD when it comes to look and […]
