• Maybe last post before “closure”

  May 27, 2025

  I'm in a bit of a sticky situation at work right now, and honestly, it's making my blood boil. "Higher" management, bless their cotton socks, have decided I need to "perform better." This is despite the fact they have their own data showing I'm already doing my absolute best given the circumstanc...

• Lyrics

  May 25, 2025

  I was just playing around, making some lyrics, looking for someone who might be interested into composing, singing and maybe taking part in the song. If you do, I just want credit. That's all. I don't have enough expense to be a millionaire but on my days off I went into writing mode and took&hel...

• Two days and two of us!

  May 23, 2025

  What a day. I'm on stronger meds now, which means I have today and tomorrow off, so it's just going to be about looking after myself and the boy. I'm finding that my knees are suddenly becoming a problem at my age, and I'm not sure if it's all the sitting I've been doing lately.…

• It’s only just occurred to me

  May 18, 2025

  It's funny, isn't it? You scroll through endless feeds, catching snippets of other people's lives, their joys and their struggles. Today, it was a bunch of TikToks about mental health that really got me thinking. It struck me with a quiet force, the sheer amount of unseen effort people put in, bo...

• It’s been one day…

  May 16, 2025

  Well, today was just stellar. NOT. The PA decided to take an unscheduled vacation, apparently, leaving yours truly to shoulder the entire workload. My foot is screaming – each step feels like a tiny hammer is pounding away inside. And to top it all off, the painkiller supply is dwindling faster t...

  Well, the countdown has begun. 17 days left on OpenDiary, and then that's it for me. I know, I know, Blather Inc needs to make money somehow, but I just can't bring myself to pay for it. It's not that I don't understand the whole server thing – keeping all this digital chatter alive definitely&he...

• Get off my foot!

  May 14, 2025

  My wonderful PA. Honestly, sometimes I feel like banging my head against a wall. How hard is it to decipher basic handwriting? Apparently, it's an insurmountable challenge for some. And the truly frustrating part? He's got the memory of a goldfish. Instructions go in one ear and promptly vanish o...

• Pepsi and Lays

  May 11, 2025

  Well, here I am. Behind a desk. It feels… strange. A far cry from where I usually am. The good news, I suppose, is that the medication seems to be doing its job, keeping the swelling at bay. And they’ve even assigned me a PA for the next four weeks. I have a sneaking suspicion…

• It hurts a “little”.

  May 10, 2025

  Right, this is ridiculous. Absolutely, utterly ridiculous. If anyone is reading this in the future and thinks companies always have their employees' best interests at heart, please let this entry serve as a stark warning. I've gone and broken my right foot. Properly broken it. During company time...
