Subtle workplace bullying
I never discuss my work on this blog. Rarely do I even mention it – my journeys on the bus each morning notwithstanding. For a number of reasons. Firstly my job is fairly mundane – it pays the bills and is occasionally engaging. But it’s a means to an end, rather than the end itself.

I suspect that people will have limited interest in the minutiae of my scintillating worklife,. Continue reading Subtle workplace bullying

FIGHT!
I had intended to get the earlier bus. By walking that little bit extra distance, I can board four stops later than usual. This enables a later departure from my house. Continue reading FIGHT!
Daytrip
As it was a sunny Sunday afternoon, it seemed appropriate that I take myself on a seaside excursion. But where? I suppose I could have walked to Sandymount. My ambitions were loftier however – I desired a train journey. Walking to Connolly Station, I decided that whichever DART train was leaving first would decide my destination. The possibilities were bountiful – the DART is a coastal rail service so there was plenty of options. Continue reading Daytrip
