It’s funny how illness strikes when you’ve got deadlines to meet and loads to do. All those months of not having enough to do – and wondering if I could pay the bills – and now I’m snowed under I’m unwell. Ah well. So that’s why I’ve not blogged for a while – very, very […]

Today I decided to have a change of scenery and do some work in Cambridge. There’s a lovely cafe called Ta Bouche, which does good food, plays decent music, and has free wireless. I think I’ve plugged them mercilessly before. Anyway, it’s a great place to go to get out of the house and approach […]

Yup – I’ve got my concentration back. I’ve been working hard again now and things are going nicely – just won a new contract, which I might be able to give some details of when the project’s finished. It’s given me a real boost and it’s a lovely bit of work with some very nice […]

…and I don’t know why, or what to do about it. I’m going to try working somewhere completely different tomorrow to see if that helps. Thing is, I’ve got some really interesting work to do. It’s something I can really get my teeth into and I want to make a really good job of it. […]

For some reason I’m having real trouble concentrating at home at the moment. I know I have loads of work to do, but I just can’t do it. It’s not even as if I’m being distracted by anything in particular – I’m just not able to work at home very well. One solution – although […]

Hello! If you’ve tried emailing me today, I might not have received your mail. I’m in the middle of changing hosts and I’m not sure I’m getting all emails. I’m relying on an ancient Hotmail account which all my emails are automatically forwarded to at the moment… things should be back up and running tomorrow, […]

I discovered the other day that while managing an individual project is fine – and, to be honest, swapping between several projects is OK too – I wasn’t very good at keeping track of them, especially the issue of giving things project codes. I reached a critical mass of projects where they just stopped being […]

I’m a naturally guilty person. I feel guilty about lots of things. I feel guilty writing about this, because I’m using charity to promote my business, but then again charity is benefiting as well, so not completely and utterly guilty. Because I’ve got such an ace job, which I love, and because of other things, […]

I’ve got a car! It’s a nice little Citroen AX. It has five whole gears, a working fuel gauge, and thanks to dad a CD player. It also has a nasty knock from the CV joint at the moment, but that’ll soon be fixed. I’m generally very excited by it. Soon I will have the […]

Yes… I know. Insert snow pun here. It’s funny how I missed all the snow (well, the tiny bit) in Cambridge the other week when I was in Glasgow. I really wanted some. Now I’ve learned to be careful what I wish for, because “road chaos” has meant the cancellation of a meeting I was […]
