Business > General Management Time-management tips: 2 of 66
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 kno... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: WALL-E: 2 of 48
Pixar has created another masterpiece with the wondrous film that is Wall-E. Set in the not-unrecognisable future, this is sci-fi fun with an ecological message. The animation is amazing and little dialogue is needed to bring the characters to life. Fun and funny, Wall-E entertains in a gentle and beautiful way; whilst the ec... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Best and worst bosses: 7 of 56
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 exce... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Music: 9 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 put ...

Pets & Animals > Dog Psychology What is your dog thinking about?: 16 of 44
I know what my dog is thinking. Right now, it's: have you seen the weather? I hope I'm still going to get to go for a walk'. How can I be certain? I can't, of course, but she is sat by the window, looking out and glancing at me over her shoulder with her eyes wide and her mouth expressive. I've seen that look before I know th... More..
