I’m not a big fan of clothes shopping, and because of that, it’s taken me a long time to find my style. I’m most of the way there now, but I know I could be missing out on looking good because I just don’t have the eye for it. So I’ve been browsing Reddit more lately Read More
I Am Excited For Monday
Today I am not going on holiday. It is not my birthday. I have not won anything. I am not attending a special event. Today I am going back to work, as usual, after the normal weekend off. So why am I excited? Well, I had a very busy week last week, a lot to do Read More
When Inspiration Rings, Answer The Call
Lately I’ve been thinking about communication and knowledge sharing and collaboration and all that good stuff. These things excite and inspire me and when I express that, I feel great. Unfortunately, my introverted nature coupled with my desire to get everything done right now makes it difficult for me to spend time working on the communication Read More
The Death Of The Desktop Is A Tragedy
Something you often notice in modern workplaces is that a lot of people are working from laptops, even when they have a desk and never move it. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, portability is inherently useful and more easily allows remote working after all. Remote working is the way to go! But when you have Read More
A Single Intervention Can Change Your Life
A single mindset intervention can change your life. That’s the message I’m getting right at the beginning of the book, The Upside Of Stress, and it’s pretty exciting.

Be My Guest, Be My Guest
I’ve decided to quote Beauty & The Beast today for a very simple reason; I’ve added a guestbook. In school I built myself a website, just for fun, and copying a schoolmate I added a guestbook. It didn’t get a lot of entries, but it was an interesting way for visitors to connect with me outside Read More
Better Life Because Of Stress?
I have a very receptive mind to new ideas, even ones that challenge beliefs I’ve held for years. I can consider the validity of someone’s point even if it is in complete opposition to my own. So imagine my curiosity after I’d begun reading a book on anxiety when it told me that stress can be Read More
Last Day Of Freedom Coming Up!
It’s easy to lament the last day before going back to work when you’ve had some time off. I’m doing it right now. Why can’t it last longer? Well, thinking back, it’s been enough time. I’ve read three fiction books. I’ve played through two games in the Spyro trilogy. I’ve read a whole lot of stuff Read More
Starting A Degree While Working Full Time Is Scary!
Okay, truth time. I’ve been writing about how exciting it is to start a degree, especially in Data Science. I missed the chance to do a degree when I was younger, so having the opportunity now is amazing. I absolutely have no regret about taking on this challenge. On the other hand, it’s scary. I’ve been Read More
