The pressure, the attempts to get me to “do it right.” None of it worked. The two pointy sticks, the dangly bit of knitting and that always tangling thread. The dangly thread that, with everyone else, seemed to magically intertwine with the dangling piece of knitting, growing ever longer. For me, it was a source […]
Friday Morning Wake Shower Breakfast Online Weekend Theme Get dressed Go to work The morning’s list is well underway. So here’s the theme. Following on from the “control freak’s special” last week, is another in the same vein. Prompted by a week of frustration with my cellphone provider who can’t do a simple set of […]
For a while now I have been wondering just what can be found out about me – online. The first inkling of how easy it is was some years ago when on day 2 of a 5 day course, one of the students told me “I googled you last night.” For a horrorfying moment I […]

This process of getting out of an impossible situation has been long drawn out and made even worse by one person. I just wish the month was over. Effort after effort to appear more important than they are. Over and over, imposing their wishes on everyone, even in complete contradiction of corporate regulations. Being cross […]
