The past few weeks have been crazy. My trusty assistant moved on to greener pastures and I miss his chirpiness and efficiency so much. Such a pity we couldn’t up his offer and keep him with us. This week’s been madder than usual. Monday – Got a call from the newest recruit to the team [...]

Travel Tales
Back in the hood after last weeks marathon cross country drive on work. Headed to Kandy on Monday and then from there went directly to Galle!! It’s probably the longest drive I’ve taken locally. Albeit a really hectic working week, we did manage to find some time for some fun stuff as well. I’ll let [...]

You know you’ve got it good when
You call him feeling like death, ready to rip someone’s head off and within ten minutes of conversation/ranting/venting etc you feel all rational and calm again. *The death-mood was because of work, 3rd time being disturbed very unbecomingly whilst on leave by people who can’t handle pressure.

2010 so far
The New years been good to me so far. Things started on a positive note and doors were closed on certain chapters in my life with a little bit of nostalgia, nevertheless grounded by fervent knowledge to move on. Work took me to Thailand for a week on the 2nd Jan and it was by far one [...]

Work – Life balance
Is a subject that seems to be the rage these days. A term more commonly used in the States but has since of late found it’s own following (victims?) right here in paradise. Particularly amongst the younger segment of corporate society. Theoretically you can find a broad definition here. Just a couple of months back [...]

Had a bad day?
Day 1 - Late evening Thurday had me on my way to the hill capital for a conference, and like the title says it was a bad day! My car stalled on me, the battery flickered and was gone. Before I could say ‘Jiminy cricket’ my clutch plate gave way and I was left in [...]
