Since last week’s blog and the breaking down of my mammoth mountain into small steps, I’ve encountered another little hiccup.  I’ve had a week of truly terrible sleep. Some of it has been outside of my control – just sleeplessness and insomnia.  Add to the mix the fact that I’m a natural night-owl, and I…

I’ve done most of my induction training, I’ve got access to most of what I need and I’m starting to understand what I’m doing at the new contract (I suppose I should just say contract now – it’s been a month, so it’s not really new).  The area I’m working in deals with quite complex…

I think I might have mentioned that the last month or two has been particularly busy.  Books, birthdays, weddings and new jobs have all taken big chunks of time and attention.  It’s been a whirlwind of a month.  But that’s all pretty much done and dusted now. The birthday (mine) and wedding (not mine) were…

What a week Planet Earth has had since last we spoke! On Friday morning, along with probably half of our very well populated and busy office, I stood and shivered and waited and got annoyed with myself for not bringing a colander to work.  Why would I want to bring a colander to work?  Well, so…

I know – it’s been a month, already!  A whole month since Coping with the Horroffice has been out in the world. Before I carry on, don’t worry – I’m not going to be shouting out every monthiversary, (although I might have a teeny tiny shout out at the anniversary – that’s allowed, right?). But…

I think this poem expresses beautifully my feelings today on Mothers Day, and every other day, when I think about what an amazing woman my own Mother is, and also when I think of all the other amazing women I know who are diligently, tenderly and lovingly tending to their gardens of the heart. Whether…

It’s been just over a week since I started my new contract.  And over that time I’ve been keeping an eye out for bad, for dodgy, for awkward and especially for awful. I haven’t actually come across any of them yet.  I’m not sure where they’re hiding.  I’ve looked in all the usual places, checked…

I started a new contract yesterday. Although I should probably add the disclaimer that I’ve worked at this particular company before. From memory, it was a lovely place to work – friendly people, great facilities (but truly awful parking – well, there had to be something didn’t there!). From my first impressions yesterday, it is…

It’s been a week since I officially released my book ‘Coping with the Horroffice‘. When I look back at my life, this will most definitely be one of the significant points in it. A defining point maybe, because I now genuinely feel I am a Writer’ and even an ‘Author’. One of the most endearing habits we’ve…

“Coping with the Horroffice” Book Release Day – it’s been a long time coming and it’s finally here! What a journey it’s been… I didn’t realise until this week that it’s actually been almost a year to the day that I left the Horroffice that inspired me to write the book.  Over that time I’ve had…
