I haven’t posted in awhile, and that’s because I’ve been very busy.
This is the breakdown of my average weekday:
Factoring in weekends, it means I spend about 34% of my week doing things that have to do with work. I sleep 37% of the time. And I have 29% of my time free to do as [...]
Companies today face a big challenge and that thing is staying organised, staying in touch, and staying sane.
1. Staying organised – Some people thrive on mess. They produce their best work in a messy place. But a messy place is no place for admin. Staying organised saves a lot of time and hassle.
2. Staying in [...]
Day in and day out, I find myself asking, ‘When is this going to change?’ Perhaps my view of the web can be a bit amplified because my job involves being immersed in it all day long.

The professor of my first and only portfolio class was [...]

On the coach ride home, we passed Primark, which is a very cheap clothing store. Rather than head back to the flat, I suggested we go to Primark, even though we had luggage to carry. Rob agreed, so off we went.
I got three pairs of shoes, a new handbag, socks, socks for Rob, shirts for [...]
This past weekend was Katie’s (Rob’s sister’s) 30th birthday party, so we drove up to Barnard Castle in the band van to join in the festivities. Katie booked a hall and had catering. As well, the alcohol was abounding.
Rob played piano in the band, and we all got to hear Katie sing. I got to [...]
