  • The Week That Was: Leave, Life Admin and a Gen X Gut Punch

    This week I finally took some very overdue long service leave. And when I say overdue, I mean the kind of overdue where the leave balance was probably sitting in the system wearing a cardigan, asking if anyone was ever going to collect it. I had grand visions, of course. Rest. Relaxation. Possibly becoming the…

  • The Week I Wish Wasn’t ..

    I know. I’ve used this header before … A couple of times actually. It’s the only one that accurately describes the week that we’ve just had. On the night of Monday August 3rd, at 10pm we experienced what could only be described as a plumbing emergency. Our toilet decided it’d had enough of this life…

  • The blog I Wasn’t Going to Write

    I had no intention of writing a blog this week. I’m too tired, to exhausted, emotionally spent and I feel like my nervous system hasn’t been able to relax in months. There are so many things that need to be fixed, so many things that need to be done and so many issues that need…

  • Frustrations, Aggravations and Everything In-between

    This week was one of the most frustrating working weeks of my life. The company I work for or, more specifically, the middle of the range upper management types are currently having knee-jerk reactions to everything. Look, I’ve worked where I have (quite happily I might add) for almost 17 years and I have seen…

  • The End … Of May.

    And, we’ve made it to the end of May. It’s been a hell of a ride. We’ve had a month of birthdays, anniversaries, allergic reactions, dental appointments, vet visits, specialist appointments and technical devices being given their last rights before being sent to God. We’ve had freezing cold nights, the inability to sleep, vividly weird…

  • It’s Gonna Be May …..

    May. I, in equal parts love and loathe the month of May. I love May because here, in Australia you can see an obvious change in the seasons. It means the Summer / Autumn wardrobe can be put away and the Winter wardrobe gets dusted off and ready to go. It means scarves. It means…

  • The One Where Everything Happened

    OK…. Today’s blog is just going to have a bit of everything To begin Last week I wrote a very short, very abrupt blog on the subject of spoilers. It wasn’t very long. Not very well thought out and was written mainly out of frustration and annoyance over the fact that human beings still refuse…

  • And…..I’m back…

    I’m doing OK. Easter was good The weather was nice A lot got accomplished My workplace had to do some restructuring. Come Monday I have a new Team Manager and a new team of people to work with. My uterus hates me. My Kittens are fine This blog is just to ensure I keep up…

  • A Quick Update

    Greetings and salutations! The only reason this blog exists is because I am trying to keep a regular routine with blogging. (Yeah, that’s a weird sentence, I know) Not really feeling great today. Will come back next week with a proper entry. I promise. Ceej

  • ….. And I’m Back

    Well, hello! Yes I know. It’s been weeks since my last update but honestly, there’s been a lot going on. My recovery from surgery is going well. Day by day there are little improvements. I’m finding I can move a lot easier which is good. Don’t get me wrong, I still have months and months…
