I first heard the term earworm a few years ago, when it was used by one of my online acquaintances. I immediately knew what it referred to, and I suspect that many of you will to. An earworm is a section of music of song that gets trapped in your head, and goes round and [...]
These days, if you catch me after I’ve been busy for a while, you may find me to be initially unresponsive. Many people over the years have commented that I seem to be away in a little day dream world. From my perspective it’s no day dream, its more of a shut down. Let me [...]
One of my tasks at work right now is to pick up new cases that have been logged on behalf of our clients, and raise cases on our internal ticket system to deal with them. Once such case was waiting for me when I got back from lunch today. The basics of the case were [...]
“Hi James,” said a voice behind me in the baker’s shop this morning. I turned, and there was the new manager from work. She’s based at the other end of the country, and visits us for a couple of days every other week or so. “Oh, hi Lynne,” I said. As I paid for my [...]

The last few days have been somewhat plagued by this feeling. I’m anxiously waiting for something that never arrives. What is it that I’m waiting for? Well over the last few days, it’s been a number of things. Calls to third-parties at work result in “I’ll call you back”. I then sit there waiting for [...]
I’m highly charged today. Perhaps literally. For the third day in a row I’m the only person in the office. There are usually three of us, with one of the other chaps spending almost his complete time ensuring that the system we run is performing properly. In his and my other colleague’s absence, it’s down [...]
