A dash of synchronicity and a heaping spoonful of sarcasm. September 24, 2014. September 23, 2014. A quick glance through my blogs posts will reveal that I have a tendency to focus on and write about the things that irritate me. Do I think it’s my purpose in life to point out the failings of others? Do I have to be as judgmental as I am? Do I think the world would be a better place if everyone else were more like me? Are you looking for quotes that are worthy of a motivational poster? I had the good fort...

A dash of synchronicity and a heaping spoonful of sarcasm. I have a question…. January 30, 2015. January 29, 2015. Okay it’s Friday and I’ve got nothing for you. Well that not entirely true – I have a question for you. If you had to conduct an interview, with absolutely no time to prepare and were allowed to ask only 3 questions, which questions would you ask? What are your go-to questions that will tell you what you need to know about a candidate? Hoping to hear from you in the comment section. At some ...

Ramblings of an eternal optimist. But what about the young people? Wokers 25 and over – 7.20 an hour. Workers 21-25 – 6.50 an hour. Workers 18-20 – 5.13 an hour. Workers 16-17 – 3.79 an hour. On the face of it this looks like a good thing right? Increasing the Minimum Wage for the majority of the workforce has to be a good thing? But what are the unintended consequences of this? Companies terminating contracts as they can’t afford to pay the increased costs associated with the increase in wages? So emplo...

Ramblings of an eternal optimist. It was ME/CFS International Awareness Day last week, 12. May, and this is my story. (it’s a long one – you might want to make a cuppa first). But in truth the only thing that has worked is learning to listen to my body and myself and being a bit more selfish. Not going out, cancelling arrangements, leaving the party early, choosing what to sacrifice and what to save up my energy for. It sounds simple, like energy is a definitive object and you can save and conserve what ...
