Please could you refrain from having the channel that plays that show about antiques on your big screens, it's about as motivating as watching paint dry. Thanks James
A Man Of Many Talents
This year I made a cake for my birthday. Being aware of many of the activities I do (many of which I highlight in this blog). Someone remarked "You're a man of many talents" I guess I am. But the reason I am is because I make the effort to apply myself and try. I … Continue reading A Man Of Many Talents
Herbal Life Zombies
The other day I had a nightmare. I went to the gym and the guy on reception decided to make small talk, which sounded out of character. He constructed sentences in what sounded like a sales pitch. It turned out he was, he mentions some amazing nutritional product called herbal life which seemed to specialise … Continue reading Herbal Life Zombies
Sorry About That…
I really think we say sorry too much. If I clash with someone coming out of the gents as I am going in 9 times out of 10 I hear "oh sorry..." Why do you need to be sorry? Isn't excuse me a more appropriate word? I couldn't help but think we say sorry too … Continue reading Sorry About That…
Just What The Doctor Ordered
I walked in to see my GP a gibbering wreck. Despite knowing I needed to do this, there was a reluctance to what I was about to do. Despite being at my peak of fitness I doddered over to my seat like an 80 year old. I sat down and swallowed, my nerves made me … Continue reading Just What The Doctor Ordered
Unlucky For Some…
I play bingo - no lie. Nearly every Friday for the last six month I go down to the local working men's club and play four rounds of bingo. I haven't won that cash prize once. Logically I struggle to understand why some regulars win it more than others. They are there pretty much every week … Continue reading Unlucky For Some…
Back to the gym (take 2)
I really tried to make the gym I joined in April work. But it just never right and I never developed a steady routine. It was always difficult getting to it after work and it was always a problem getting stuck in rush hour work traffic if I went in the morning. My life has … Continue reading Back to the gym (take 2)
Money vs Happiness
One of the key elements of my 'Money' system is to move up the career ladder Recently I have had the opportunity to fill in for a senior member of staff who has been on long term sick. As I was covering a large part of their duties, I viewed this as an opportunity to … Continue reading Money vs Happiness
Good Mentor/Bad Mentor
As I try to make my way up the career ladder I have found the support of others is essential. I really do miss having a good mentor to coach me and call me out on any bullshit though. I have a number of experiences of 'mentors' - one was good, one was bad. Good … Continue reading Good Mentor/Bad Mentor
365 Days
When I returned back to work on 31st July 2014 after two weeks off from stress, I swore that I would make it do next year about not taking a single sick day. I wanted to do this because I'd already had a few sicks days, so with taking two weeks off for stress they … Continue reading 365 Days
How not to prepare for a 10k race
Prior to my well organised Spartan double, last month I did the Pudsey 10k. This was quiet a significant race as: This was the first time that I had done a 10k race since July last year It marked the first time that I have run such a distance since September last year. Not only was … Continue reading How not to prepare for a 10k race
Everyone could potentially be a leader
I was reading a book on leadership, when someone remarked "Aspiring to be a manager are we..." There still seems to be a wide confusion between being a leader and being in charge. So to put it clearer - you may call yourself a manager or the boss - but that doesn't mean you are … Continue reading Everyone could potentially be a leader
