    A few months ago, I posted about Motivation, which was about a recent change in roles and managers at work.

  • Motivation

    Nope, this is not one of those self-help kinda posts. It may also be too early to talk about it, but I just wanted to share that I am finally happy and excited to come to work, after 10 years at the company. Well… the first year was good. Then, the job changed a bit Read more

  • Sad day at work?

    Today is sort of a sad day at work. My good friend Michael is leaving the company and going to a competitor. I do believe the change will be great for him, as his new job will be more in line with what he enjoys and his position will be a better one. Salary will Read more

The tool has been around for a couple of years already but, Read more

  • This week’s photo challenge is about everyday life. I could go on and on and post thousands of photos, each showing one aspect of our busy lives. But I won’t. I’ll post only 4, which may somehow summarize part of a typical working day. So here they are: This post was created in response to Read more

  • The title above can summarize my day so far, and it’s only 2:00 PM. My 2 daughters have a cough that’s been going on for a couple weeks now. So earlier this week we called the doctor and scheduled a visit for both of them to happen today afternoon. But last night the little one started Read more

  • Ok. today I feel a bit weird. I work with someone who is the opposite of me. She’s nice and she’s very efficient and gets lots of work done, but she’s also very stressed out, she freaks out for anything, she’s not too flexible and can be a bit bossy. I, in the other hand, am Read more
