Waiting For Autopilot
That’s how I feel right now. I’m waiting for autopilot. I’m 2.5 weeks into a new job. I want to speed past this part. It sounds ungrateful. So many people don’t have job and yet I found one before my previous job ended. And now I want to be past the newbie stage. […]

Randoms 26
Randoms 26 Hello my linky up types. I have not linked up in quite some time. I gave up during NaNoWriMo in November because writing 50,000 words is a lot of work. Then in December I found out my contract at work is not being renewed so I had job hunting and let-it-rip related […]

Bad Language It’s weird how we say “excuse the language” for a word like fuck but have no problem with people using non swear word language to undermine and gaslight people. That’s worse language.

Who Is Screaming The Loudest?
Who Is Screaming The Loudest? I saw this tweet and it immediately inspired me to share a story. How should we prioritize tasks? Maybe by asking, “Who is screaming the loudest?” and getting them out of the way. I try to do the tasks I dread the most in the morning for […]
Work From Home Morning Rituals
Thanks to Covid, in 2020 I was able to spend a few months doing what I enjoy – working from home. While I like my colleagues and job, I’ve been commuting a long distance for a long time, and I cannot state my over-it-ness. It seems I’ll have to return to on site work when […]

Why Do I Think I Don’t Fit In The Business World?
I have a “thing” where I don’t feel like I fit into any sort of business, freelance or “start up” world. Why Do I Think I Don’t Fit In The Business World? And I know the reason. It’s because I have a day job. I’ve written about how I don’t want to […]
