  • How to spot a lie

    This is an interesting article where Elon Musk explains how he can identity people lying in interviews: article Basically people who tell the truth about a problem they helped to solve give more details that those who lie. This is an interesting point and I’m glad that Musk came up with that. So far I…

  • Going autistic

    Have you ever heard this expression? I did recently, it was meant to mean ‘being very specific’, like if that was all being autistic was about. I wasn’t very impressed but I didn’t say anything. I wonder how come people can’t see this is offensive. It’s still cold in the UK. I can’t wait for…

  • The concept of ‘best friend’

    Yesterday I met up with a friend who I met through work a few years ago. She is also Polish but around 25 years older than me. We are quite different, she’s very chatty and outgoing while I like reflecting on things. We went to Cirencester, a market town nearby and ended up having a…

  • Drama, drama!

    As some of you may be aware, I broke off with a friend on the blog some time in the middle of August last year. It probably wasn’t very elegant and I wonder whether prioritising creating content was the right approach but it happened and also I never revealed that friend name so the only…

  • Masks off!

    It’s been good few days now since we don’t have wear face masks at work and one of my colleague told me I have very expressive face that she ‘loves’ and she looked genuinely excited when she said that. I must say I am a bit confused now. My diagnostician told me after my diagnostic…

  • Living in the moment

    I am unhappy a lot recently; again. And you know what I realised today? I was much more happier before I moved to my flat. Before I moved to my flat I used to live in Reading and my flat is in Swindon, but I don’t think the change of town is what made me…

  • 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…
