When you said that you hoped that our working relationship will not change because you like working with me, I made a mental note that you had said working with me and not for me. I do not doubt the truth of your statement because it is an accurate reflection of my working relationship with [...]

the man in the street

You know how people always tell you about how crazily fulfilling it is to act for the little man in the street because you fell like you are helping them take on Goliath and doing your little itty bit for society and making the world a better place and all that jazz? Lately, I’m beginning [...]

Lion has discovered the virtues of self help last night. My kids sleep on mattresses on the floor of our bedroom since they outgrew the cot. We figured that they can’t fall off anything on mattresses so that’s the safest way to organise bed time. Peanut sleeps through the night but sometimes, Lion still gets [...]

Public holidays on Tuesdays are really annoying. You get the feeling of Monday two times in the week and you work doubly hard on both “Mondays” to make up for lost time. On top of everything, my blackberry fell into a puddle of water on Monday while I was taking my kids to the doctor. [...]

You grow up thinking that all you need to do is to study hard, get a good job, then all things will fall into place. Like falling in love, getting married, getting a place to stay, growing old. You were also lead to think that the most important things in life are integrity and honesty, [...]

Sitting at my desk yesterday, I have come to the conclusion that I shouldn’t really waste my life trying to teach people to be better. If they are shitty people to begin with, then no amount of teaching is going to make them less shitty. It’s just a complete waste of my time, efforts and [...]

Good News – I did a trial today before a generally disagreeable judge without getting yelled at, constantly interrupted, or publicly ridiculed. Bad News – I lost. Went down in a huge ball of flames. Bleah. This is so not a good week at work. And it’s only Tuesday. There’s still the usual veritable hell [...]
the week, the gaps, the waiting

This is turning out to be the week where things end only to bring on the beginning of a big big gap. Because I am currently feeling rather bitter about (work) life in general, I shall endeavour to fill up the gaps with things more meaningful. Insipid, maybe. Trivial, maybe. But things important to me [...]

What would it take for you to get my order right? It’s skinny iced latte with no sugar. But somehow, somewhere between the skinny and no sugar, something bad always happens. I can assure you that I don’t need the sugar high. I am also a tad larger than I like to need the whole [...]

Ever wondered why the weeks leading up to a vacation are usually the busiest in the whole year? I come into work looking for words every day, words that would sum up how I feel or how the judge should feel about things. But you can only find words if you have the feelings to [...]
