Crazy day at work
It was one of those days today at work. Everyone was slightly off balance, slightly crazy, not motivated to work at all. The jokes and one-liners flew thick and fast from one desk to another. It didn’t help that one of our computer programs was playing up and causing havoc for many of us. We didn’t...

What happened on the weekend
For a change I had a rather busy weekend. On Saturday I got a distress call from a friend of mine who is studying at the University I work at. She is good at her studies, but is not wonderful at Microsoft Word and needed help with one of her reports – formatting, graphs and such. So I picked her up...

Teenagers and sex
Last night I watched a documentary made in Canada, dealing with the subject of teenagers and sex. It was a bit of an eye opener. Apparently, in this particular community anyway, it is common for teenagers as young as 13 to be sexually active. In fact something like 30% of teenagers in Year 9 had had...

Do you prefer being onstage or backstage?
I’ve come to the conclusion that, in theatrical terms, there are two types of people in the world, those that like to be onstage and those that prefer to be backstage. There are so many people who love being onstage and in the spotlight. They enjoy being watched, whether by a full house or just a...

I got a virtual kiss!
Well, a virtual kiss is better than no kiss at all at the moment. As some of you know, I’ve got a profile on an Internet dating site, although I rarely log in to see what’s happening. Every now and again the site will send me a list of men who are supposed to fit into my criteria. Sometimes I check...

Food for thought
Food has been in my thoughts lately for various reasons. Firstly the budget has been stretched a bit this week as a number of bills had to be paid all at once (isn’t that always the way) so cheap meals have been on the menu. Then, in planning the cheap meals, I’ve had to think of innovative ways to...

My father… *sigh*
Last Thursday night we arrived home from my son’s basketball training and I checked the phone for messages. I have a phone that gives me the number of the last call that came in unanswered. I noticed my father had called me but had not left a message. So I called him back. Firstly my father was...

What a day… what a week… what a TV show!
Today was hectic. I had blocked off the entire day in order to start working on next year’s events. Then the big boss booked an afternoon meeting. Then the new trainee who reports to me had questions. Then the girl who reports to me had problems doing the roster that was meant to be out today. After...

For I have sinned... Well not exactly, but I put last night's post in the wrong blog!!! That is what trying to do too many things at once can do to a person. For those who didn't get to read it... here tis! Broken window – remind me why I don’t want basketballs dribbled inside? If you haven’t...

I’m not a petrol head, but…
It’s probably the most famous super car race in Australia. Of course I’m not sure of that fact because I’m not a petrol head. But everyone has heard of the Bathurst 1000. It’s like the car racing equivalent of the Australian horse race of the year, the Melbourne Cup. When I was a teenager the race...
