If you don't like Lego, then we can't be friends
If you don’t like Lego, then we can’t be friends. Not during the week, or even weekends. What would we talk about? How the temperature’s chilled?

Using sandwiches for rebellious activities. Top Story - June 2024.
I’m a smart ass, I accept it. There have been times when my tendency to make a sarcastic comment or crack an inappropriate joke has got me in trouble. But a lot more times, it’s made work a bit more fun, and even lifted the mood in some pretty dark times.

Sydney Sweeney was Female Student #1
I have a nasty habit when I am watching any movie or TV show when an actor comes on that looks familiar or piques my interest, I jump on the IMDb app on my phone and look them up. Sometimes I will say “Oh, that’s where I know them from” and other times I go “Oh, Wow!”

Why I've decided to stop towing the company line
I’ve been working in my field for nearly 30 years. Before you say it, yes I agree, I don’t look that old either. I consider myself a professional, I like to think of myself as a good leader, although I think every leader thinks of themselves that way. I have had aspirations to go higher, or at least I did until recently. I started writing today as part of my self-care, and an exercise in mindfulness, this article is where I landed.

A suitcase of misery
Nobody paid much attention to him, the young man wheeling a suitcase into the airport. After all, there were a few thousand others there that day, all doing the same thing. Taking their suitcases, checking them in, then boarding a plane to some destination.

Am I a dinosaur for thinking not every job can be done remotely?
The other day I saw a post on a social media site that proudly proclaimed, “If your boss doesn’t believe in remote working, they are dinosaur”. I thought this seemed like a pretty bold statement, so I read on. They proceeded to say that “any job can be done remotely because the internet is everywhere”.

Mom's Corned Beef Fritters
Have you ever tried a corned beef fritter? I know it’s quite a very strange request. If you’ve never had a corned beef fritter.

Do we need a remake of Roadhouse?
A few weeks back I was talking to some of the Gen Y’s in my office, we were discussing classic movies and I mentioned the movie Roadhouse. I was shocked to learn that they had never seen or heard of this movie, I mean realistically what are they teaching in schools these days?

Mr Whippy's van
I hear the music from Lassie, (Although Mom says it’s named after sleeves of green). My sister screams “It's Mr Whippy!” Her face is the happiest I’ve ever seen.

Timothee Chalamet made me realize I was old
This week I was hit with a realisation that perhaps I’m getting old. Now before you jump in and say “Nonsense, you’re still a spring chicken”, hear me out.

I thought my Mom was going to die and it made me sad
I’ve written a lot about my mom over the years. Some of it for laughs, some to enter a challenge (in fact my one achievement to the point of writing this article was a runner-up prize in the Mother’s Day Confessions challenge). I’ve written about my mom not having a great deal of empathy, how she showed more affection for a stray cat than her child, and several other pieces that didn’t always paint Mom in a great light.
