  • Adjusting to cold

    I visited John for two days and I managed with temperature as low as 15C indoors while wearing only two layers of clothing. As I mentioned on my blog multiple times I am (I was?) oversensitive to cold. If temperature indoors was 21C I’d wear long sleeve vest, jumper and a cardigan and still didn’t […]

  • ‘Could you put that in writing?’

    1. I just read an article that states the above phrase used by your boss may indicate they’re considering firing you. Who would have thought? 2. The above was meant to be the shortest of my posts. Until I decided to add another sentence to it. And another one… 3. My book has been temporarily […]

  • The heating engineer

    I came from work at around 3pm and was waiting for the heating engineer to check on my broken boiler. I told them I’ll be in from 3.30pm as I wanted to tidy up a bit first. At around 3.38 I heard someone mentioning my address on the street, like if they were speaking over […]

  • My boiler broke down

    Three hours after I decided to end my ‘no heating challenge’. I don’t know if I actually posted about this challenge here. Possibly I was too cold; typing under the duvet is not ideal. Basically some time before Christmas I joined the protest against rising energy prices and decided I will be using as little […]

  • I don’t want my wellness to be evaluated

    Yesterday I was on one of my Facebook group and spoke with a lady who organises breakfast club somewhere in my town. The club apparently runs between 7 and 11 am Monday to Friday, first visit is free and it’s all been created to connect people so there’s chat and friendly atmosphere. I was a […]

  • A woman lied on her resume

    And she got the job. Not that I encourage similar behaviour but it’s good example how a very grey thinking can be good for you. Read the article

  • How to bribe cabin crew?

    I just read an article in Metro where a flight attendand explains that the best way to get a better treatment or even an upgrade on the flight is to give some chocolates to the crew. The article doesn’t explain though when those gifts should be handed in so I’m not linking it as it […]

  • It’s not just autistics who have to mask

    This is an interesting article on Metro. I read it yesterday in the evening and it angered me so much that I had difficulty falling asleep. It’s about a black female living in London who doesn’t feel confident to reveal details from her life to her work colleagues. She was worried, as a working class […]

  • Why do people gossip at work?

    I had this idea a few weeks ago to start posting about concepts that I read in psychology books and I don’t think this is going to work. I borrowed ‘Read people’ by Rita Carter from the library and it took me two days to read it. Obviously I was also doing other things, like […]
