You’re a Fucking Idiot – Or How Not to Start a Conversation

August 30, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: Personal

You’re a fucking idiot! You fucking people shouldn’t be allowed on the fucking road! People like you are going to fucking kill yourselves you stupid idiot. This is the greeting that came to me with a thick Australian accent from a blue Holden ute (pickup truck) at the lights on the way to work this…

A Full Day of Fun

I realised this afternoon that we don’t have any time spare today. Not that that’s bad. We woke up at 7am and headed down to breakfast. The chef kindly made our usual: white rice with cinnamon, honey and soy milk (although we were brought soy sauce at first, which made me smile). We ate, Jo…

Don’t Wait

An expansion on yesterday. There’s a lesson in it. Monday mornings start with an all staff meeting followed by an inspiration session in the boardroom. But that’s not important right now. Once I’d settled down at my desk, my boss came over to me and asked for a catchup, hovering awkwardly enough to indicate that…

Keeping Your Workers Busy

April 11, 2011

| Categories: Business

We live in a society where constant productivity and accountability are highly sought after. Some middle manager needs to keep to her KPI (key performance indicator – the measure that determines if a job is being done), and those KPIs are invariably in some way linked to the KPIs of the people she manages. Those…

Clarity

Post number two for today. I was riding in on the train this morning. My mind was on a topic discussed at the weekend. I’ve been pondering on this for about 8 months now and I keep changing my mind. I kept getting confused between my head and my heart. On the way in on…

Mind Induced Fear

Today started as another relaxing day. We started, as you can imagine, with crochet. 11am came and went. I made breakfast while Jo had a call with her sister and my mum caught up on her online social life and then we decided to go to the Mornington Main Street Market. It was almost 2pm…

Feeling Helpless

Jo’s going through a lot of thinking at the moment, and she’s feeling pain. She’s had tons of support from her circle, close friends. She and I talk about it often and I support her through the thought process, offer my thoughts when asked, sometimes when not, and yet I still feel helpless. Helpless because…

Honest Communication

March 4, 2011

On the way to work this morning, I saw a post from a friend on Facebook: This sparked a day long conversation between the two of us, which was awesome. I abhor the use of the word girl or boy to refer to an adult. It’s demeaning. It removes the learning, experience and responsibility from…

Mixed Emotions

What a strange day it’s been today. I woke up knowing I had a pretty full calendar. I was being optmistic but knew I had stuff to do. A lot of Wednesdays recently have been less productive that I’d hoped. Jo and I woke up at about 8.25am and got almost straight away. Jo had…
