I used to wonder why Harrods banned backpacks, or more specifically wearing them on the back walking around. Now I know why – cumbersome in a congested environment. In my case, a packed commuter train coming back from London. I’ve started using the Liverpool Street line as it makes for quicker transfer back to home […]
A very long day. It’s a sad day when you get to your desk at 7AM and don’t leave until after 7PM. Making progress- I’m motivated and actually getting things done. Tiring though. Sitting in bed watching TV. I really hate the “Compare the Market” ads that have Meerkat’s in them with a funny (Eastern […]
My new job requires me to study again. As I don’t have an MBA (9 years studying is more than enough for 1 person), I’m having to read lots of business books and teach myself things. Thankfully my education and also lecturing experience has given me a great insight into how to teach yourself. However, […]
I have a folder that I keep on my desk at home labelled ‘F*** Ups’. In it are things that I have to keep on my radar that need sorting as someone (or some organisation) has messed up. Living in the UK you have to deal with these sort of things on a daily basis. […]
This week has been strange. If you had asked me what would happen a week ago I’d have said yet another week, albeit my mind going up and down about what to do next work wise. Well Monday PM events took a turn for the better and by Friday I have a new job. My […]
Rant warning !, in reverse chronological order… So, decided to go to the cinema tonight. I actually hate going to the cinema in Cambridge. Partly, because it is pretty dire (uncomfortable etc.), also in an uncomfortable environment (i.e. one is surrounded by Cambridge people). Of course you have to suffer the Clearasil brigade serving you. […]
Well that’s me another year older (today). I don’t tend to get depressed about such things, but wonder how this will translate into the ‘tick boxes’ for ages you have on forms !
I think I’ve blogged about this sort of thing before, but as I’m frustrated I’ll go again. I’m sitting in Starbucks in Glasgow irritated at stupid middle class people being rude. It’s a disease in Glasgow that I always forget – people with a little money thinking they are better than everyone. It’s something I’ve […]
Woke up early. I’m bored already !, nothing open, very little to do. I guess a day of DVDs and paperwork awaits. I guess tomorrow won’t be any better..
Today was one of those days when things seemed to click. Well, it didn’t start well. Woke up at 6AM, reviewed yesterdays touch-up painting- yes it was a darker shade so I now had leopard spots in the walls- disaster. Had shower, went downstairs and noticed the roof was dripping. After I had a coffee […]
