Whilst browsing the web a few evenings ago, I found myself – as I often do – following my thought process to see where it would lead me. My starting point was a news item I’d seen earlier in the day that had piqued my curiosity. The story was this – a ghost village near [...]
I could have called this article Life derailed: part 2 or maybe even Derailed job. It’s really a continuation of my thoughts from the article I wrote yesterday, but applied to my work life. My work life hasn’t been derailed as yet, well not completely at any rate. In my article yesterday I talked about [...]
I’ve written before about how my daily routine is on railway tracks, and that when something comes along that alters the course of my day, I’ll find that I want to continue down those tracks rather than modify my routine to the new schedule.
