Think smarter, don’t work harder. — Life is not the same since the day they announced the pandemic. The world has fallen on its ass. Your bills are more, you’re paying more for food, and you’re making sure you’re valued at work by quitting or just chucking the towel in. To cut a long story short…

You hear the horror stories of those who have left Ukraine and read all the articles in the papers, but I had not yet come into contact with anyone who had faced the brutal realities of the war. — For three nights and four cold days, I’ve been in the Netherlands with my best friend. Getting to the hotel was a nightmare, I’m useless at navigating around in areas I’m not familiar with, so being in another country was like being on another planet.

Pros and cons of sleeping pods in the workplace. — Picture this. It’s been a tough morning. You’ve been on holiday or annual leave for the past week or two, you’re struggling to get back in the swing of it, you’re staring at a screen and, answering calls all day. …

Was it that easy? Are those the kind of interviews I am to expect in the future? — Interviews can be extremely daunting to people whether they are external or internal to the organisation.

Anyone who talks the talk about never judging people, not disliking anyone, not having any enemies, etc, is talking rubbish.

No money? Can’t drive? Female or male best friend? Run! — The dating scene is tragic out there — absolutely appalling. I’ve been single for eight years going on nine, with a number of failed talking-stages and heartbreaks. For a while my mother feared I was a lesbian, but I can assure you I’m not. Men are just shite. Throughout my…

Look at me again, old man. I’ll turn you to stone! — I’ve honestly had enough now. For the past two or so weeks, I’ve noticed middle-aged men keep staring at me.
