Seriously, just FML. It has been an intense time since end August. September disappeared with the last exhale of breath - I have no fucking idea what I managed to achieve. Oh yeah, that's right - it was around work and building my career and developing more skills in HR and building my role. Except… Continue reading FML

I really should not be left alone
I am a bad traveller. I will qualify that. I am okay with long flights (having just done a 24 hour stint one-way, to be repeated in the next couple of days) and I am okay with new sights, smells and tastes. Actually I thrive on travel. It is amazing and I learn so much… Continue reading I really should not be left alone
Just when
Just when I think I have all the bases covered, it all goes to hell. Well not literally but close enough to stress me out. I am currently travelling and in true style, worked on the day I arrived. Which means I am up at sparrow's because enough sleep yells my body. I have a… Continue reading Just when
Intense
I have not managed to get fingers to keyboard over the last week and half and my head is ready to explode! I enjoy this process and without it, I do battle. I haven't been around as I have been doing some self-development*, first aid training and learning about workplace mental health, oh and throw… Continue reading Intense
Preparation, realisation and acceptance
The last few months have been a blur of work. Not so much activity in respect of doing a bunch of things, but just work. It feels like I am breathing, eating and sleeping work. Then I went and lined up 5 days of training over 6. There is a lot of preparation to do… Continue reading Preparation, realisation and acceptance
Understand me… but you will probably be more confused!
Stole this idea from here ... Instead of doing a comment, I thought I would just run with the blog. The original is a missive from Jessica at “Branches” entitled “Five Things You Should Read/Watch/Listen To If You Want to Understand Me”. (Limit yourself to five books, movies, or songs that define and/or formed you. This is… Continue reading Understand me… but you will probably be more confused!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I was called "attractive", "sexy" and "hot" last night. Took me completely by surprise and the little cynical voice inside me went "he's just after one thing, it's not genuine". I wonder how many of us have that self same conversation when we are complimented? I have had a few backhand compliments of late as… Continue reading Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Friendship, relationship and work
I am starting to realise how close to burn out I am. It is scary. I have had to take a few steps back of late, and in the process of deliberately slowing down, I have seen how close total shut down is. I suppose there is only so far I can delude myself into… Continue reading Friendship, relationship and work
Marriage
I don't know how to be married. How is that for a strong opening line? Honestly though, I don't know how to be married. When I think of marriage, I am constantly reminded of the first one. That was easy in hindsight and I will explain. In my first marriage, we had all the conventional… Continue reading Marriage
Blah, blah, blah
I wonder when I became this blathering, bitter, twisted person? Ok, that is a little harsh, but it certainly feels that way. I can't seem to find peace in my head and everything I do seems mired in some sort of bog. No fucking forward movement. Of course this means I need to dissect EVERYTHING.… Continue reading Blah, blah, blah
