April has been pretty good for me. Mainly because I got a week long holiday in Cyprus with the family. There was a nice wedding on the seafront and lots of drinks afterwards. Outside of the wedding, the pool was lovely and so was the sea. The only downside to the whole thing was going... Continue Reading →
March 2022 Review – On the Up
So the February 2022 review wasn't the best was it? It was a tad bit pessimistic but with some sprinkles of sarcasm in there to brighten it up. Luckily for all of us the March review is 100% going to be a better one and for one good reason: I don't have that damnable sales... Continue Reading →
Inside a Devil Corp – An Insidious Direct Sales Cult
In January of 2022 I was on a job hunt. Left and right I was submitting my CV to places online until one day I got a phone call from a company. It was quite vague to say the least, with the job position being described as a "customer service" and "customer facing" role interchangeably.... Continue Reading →
February 2022 Review – Pear Shaped

So, first of all, happy new year to anyone and everyone! Second of all, I hope you had a good Christmas this year - though we here in the UK had a big spike of the Covid-19 Omnicorn variant, me and my folks managed a make-shift celebration despite things being far from ideal. Nevertheless I... Continue Reading →
“Just Write”
Anyone who has ever put pen to paper or finger to keyboard and enjoyed it has experienced the inevitability that is a lack of motivation to continue known as writer's block. And anyone who has suffered from writers block will have asked for advice on how to regain their past momentum only to be told... Continue Reading →
November 2021 Review – Flaming Fingers
That's right; my fingers are red hot due to the sheer amount of writing I've powered through this month. The backlog of scheduled content I have is quite frightening. In fact, it's grown to the point where I'm keeping a lot of my posts in the drafts tab so that I can make room for... Continue Reading →
