Return to blogging?

As has been the general theme of my vapid last few posts, here I am, looking to blog again, to see if it will do any good. Lets start with an update based on the big milestones I kept missing in my previous posts. It is five years since my previous post, where I was a very naive 25 year old. Yes, I'm in my thirties now. Maturing like a fine wine I hope, but more likely like a piece of cheddar that dropped under the fridge. Back then I was 'still' living at home. I did not know back then that it would be another five years. Last year however, in May I bought my own home. Yes that's right, I'm a homeowner. The years of saving paid off.  I escaped the bully from the old marketing company and after a brief time working in Oxford, I have settled into a SaaS company where the last three years have blown by. I chop and change as to whether there is the right level of opportunity for me there, but I have a good support network there and I am doing something I enjoy; Contin...

Ok, quick post before going into 2018 New Years Resolutions. The only one I kept to on this was number 5, failed the rest. I'm a terrible human being.

I lied.

I lied, I lied, I li-i-ied. I should have suspected I would struggle to blog 2 days in a row. So lets use this first blog to update on where I am in life right now. Past the quarter century mark and still living at home, I work for a marketing company in an Operations department. It was going along swimmingly until my new manager started bullying me. In the love department, I began a relationship in June of last year that ended by May this year. Still, it was the longest relationship I'd had and I was completely and utterly in love. It's a shame alcohol and prescription drugs were more important to him. And yes, it was a him. My bisexuality has not been cured or completed. So back to being single, in desperate need of a new job and a home of my own. I guess we could say I have the world at my feet. It's a shame that the depression is still so severely attacking my mind. It's still there, counselling begins next week.

Back to the Blog

So here I am, Friday 6th of October 2017. Signed off work for depression after being bullied and receiving a formal warning with perhaps a 50% justification but with the additional fabrication, and I wonder when the last time I wrote my blog was. Of course it's been over a year, and there is still a draft being written about dream collaborations apparently. We'll get to that later. Do I return? I am thinking it may be a good outlet for my opinions and thoughts and feelings, even if they are never going to be read. Perhaps I will give it a try. More tomorrow on that I think... Hopefully. In the meantime, lets appreciate Chris Evans via GIPHY

YC Review: Accordion Player (1888)

Image
Year: 1888 Producer:    Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince Director:  Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince What can you review about this? It's a man playing an accordion for a few seconds. But, it is a very important piece from history that if it wasn't made, we may not have the huge wealth of film production that we have now.

International Women's Day 2016

Today is International Women's Day, a day that I feel needs to be acknowledged and promoted far more than it is. As a #HeForShe, I think today is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge and challenge the social injustice that for so much time and by so many people, is brushed under the carpet (and probably expected to be done so by a woman at that) Why in 2016 is it still acceptable to pay women far less than men? The fat cats hide behind their masked reasons but the fact of the matter is that they still don't care. Whether you are a man or a woman does not affect your performance in any job role, so why does it affect your salary? And don't even get me started on the opinions of women at work and whether they'll 'up and leave to start a family'. Why is it still common for a woman to be asked about her family plans and why does it matter? Why in 2016 is there still a glass ceiling? You can try and gloss over with excuses but the fact remains that their is no...

New Years Resolutions 2016

So this is what I plan 2016 to have in hold for me. Let's see how many I succeed on this year. Being more ambitious with Jack Union as I edge ever closer, and number 11 is the most important, I must stop ruining my own chances.
