    Office Capers: Prime location

    Position is everything, so said a wise man.I agree.It’s location, location, location. At my earlier office, I sat at the office space equivalent of a crossroad junction.

    Football, football, football! It has only just begun and I’m already sick of it. And I thought the cricket mania was bad!Yes, yes, I’m one of those boring women who don’t know a thing about cars and who yawn at the very mention of sports. But I’m a pretty girl…

    The Knot…Or The Noose?

    Another shouting match with my family. You know those scenes in movies where they’re trying to show a person who’s slowly losing it? They have this deep distorted voice booming all around in dingy gray surroundings. That’s how I feel now. The pressure to tie the knot is making it…

    I was talking today about astrology, religion and mathematics. Is that an odd combination? It’s not….in the days of old, mathematicians, astronomers, philosophers, scientists, ‘men of god’ and artists were all called thinkers.

    Good job be damned.I don’t love it, I’m not passionate about it.I’m not passionate about anything.Bloody depressing realisation. The only trouble with having a male boss is that you can’t say “PMS” and expect any real sympathy . You can’t expect it from a female boss either, for that matter.Depressing…

    I believe everyone has been in love, in some form or the other, by the time they hit their late twenties. A lot of people I know have been in relationships. Most of them are even married and into that all-consuming activity of baby-making & rearing. Few people I know…
