Sorry if anyone takes offense to the title. I’m pretty upset about some news I heard today about my old team from my old workplace.
They all got escorted out the building today, made redundant as their jobs have just been taken over by an overseas call centre.
I feel so bad for them. I’m hoping they [...]
I’m running on empty at the moment - new job leads to lack of brainage. On the plus side, I now get to fight it out, Eagle V Dockers for the next 6 months! Ahhh inter office rivalry. I can’t comment on work too much obviously, but let me just say, that I have seriously [...]
I’ve had a pretty slack long weekend.
The weather had been in a word, Perfect. Just the right amount of heat, cool breezes and clouds in the sky to make you realise that we are now on the downward slope to a delicious winter. I for one welcome the winter, break out the doona, blankies and [...]

I should have stayed in bed this morning! Then mysteriously been transported to work, call nice and lean, smelling pretty and looking hot. Instead, I got out of bed on time, got dressed on time, make up done on time, collating everything into one handbag on time OK. Not on time. It was at this [...]
Friday was great.
I left the building at 4.30pm, I walked down the stairs, to the bus stop. I waited 30 seconds, flagged down the 72 - got on and it was done. I didn’t even look at the building where I have worked for the last 3 years. It’s no longer my problem.
