Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Best and worst bosses: 2 of 52

The best boss I ever had was Julie. She was pretty average but everything is relative. And I have had some truly terrible bosses in my time. While Julie was my boss, I did not think she was up to much; she was a nice person but not an effective leader. Next to Polly, though, Julie was a legendary and world-class boss who exc...

Business > Management (Other) Time-management tips: 8 of 51

I nearly had to cancel my last Time Management training: I didn't have time for it. Ironic as it sounds, it was true. I enjoy working under pressure and getting things done last minute, but it started to get out of hand. So, off I went to the training. It was a complete waste of time. The training kicked off with a "get to k...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Music: 5 of 27

Music is amazing. It can lift the soul, sink the mind, plunge the imagination, shoot the blues, and boogie-make like no other. I enjoy music which matches my mood: I like to wallow in wails and downtrodden beats when I am a bit down, and upbeat, vibrant, shouty tunes when I feel that way too. I like nothing better than to pu...

It then desc...

Food & Drink > Drinks (Other) Simple hangover cures: 5 of 17

I write this article on "Simple hangover cures" while recovering from a hangover. So, that's me off to a good start! However, I would argue that having been through the misery, pain, gut-crunching and churning hell, I can confidently say: I know where I went wrong. The first and most simple cure for a hangover is also the mo...
Pets & Animals > Dog Care & Health How to give a pet dog a bath: 3 of 9

Bath time: washing my dog is a monthly treat. But only in a world where "treat" means "farce" and "monthly" means "as often as needed". My dog, Radish, is a mud-magnet, a veritable filth-finder, dirt-devil of a Heinz57. I thought it would get easier to bathe Radish as she grew older. It hasn't, although it has become more fa...
