Supervision

Posted on September 16, 2021 by Detrecto

Group supervision on zoom is a great time to discuss the difficulties of working from home whilst simultaneously chasing a cat around the house with a dead thing hanging out of its mouth.

Bigly Good

Posted on September 13, 2021 by Detrecto

This morning Mrs Detrecto had to go out and run some errands. This meant that mini Detrecto and myself were left trying to navigate some home schooling and home working. Mini Detrecto is a beautiful child. She is funny and clever and has a unquenchable appetite for questions that I don’t know the answer to….

Selfie

Posted on September 9, 2021 by Detrecto

This is actually me after a 3 hour ‘Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep!’ session at 2:30am this morning. Highlights included Moshi, cats, Mia and Me, sleeping position and ‘snuggles’. If I hide in the home office* long enough, maybe she’ll fall to sleep on the couch and I won’t have to…

When home schooling during lockdown it’s important to try and find levity. So between tasks (or most of the time, more accurately, in the middle of a task – or probably even more accurately, 10 seconds into a task) we often break into doing something silly or talking about a subject that has absolutely nothing…

Lockdowns & Meltdowns

Posted on September 7, 2021 by Detrecto

And so NSW is officially in lock down state wide. It’s been weird watching the pandemic remotely and just as the world appears to be getting back to some sort of normality, where I live suddenly bucks the trend with bigger numbers that we’ve had throughout the entire crisis. Schools are closed, 10:45am triggers a…

Goals

Posted on June 28, 2021 by Detrecto

I have a wonderful friend. Every single day come rain, hail or shine she gets up at 4:30am, draws up an exercise plan, meets with friends, does said exercise, goes for a swim in the ocean and then grabs coffee – all before most of us have woken from our slumber. She posts Facebook updates…

Mask Up

Posted on June 28, 2021June 28, 2021 by Detrecto

And so we’re back into some sort of Covid thing. We’re not in lockdown where I am but the slimy little bastard is making its way here slowly and so everyone has to wear a mask, both at work and whilst out and about doing stuff. That’s fine, no problem. For me it means I…

Be Nice

Posted on April 14, 2021 by Detrecto

A conversation I’ve been having a lot lately at work – the power of nice. It’s incredible how often we define ourselves by our objection or opposition to things. But in reality, wouldn’t the world be a much nicer and friendlier place if we built each other up, applauded people for finding what they love…

Peer Work & Football

Posted on November 19, 2020 by Detrecto

I’m a peer worker. I love peer work. Since I found peer work it’s been a never ending deep dive into the practice of peer work, the history of peer work and the contexts in which peer work can be useful. I regularly find myself driving along listening to a podcast yelling “PEER WORK!” at…

Deep As

Posted on November 11, 2020 by Detrecto

I have a blogger friend who spends a lot of time crafting beautifully written pieces that dissect every second of every delicately decided… decision. Her posts are  fascinating and lovely to read and often prompt me to consider and reconsider aspects of my work, my day and on one occasion, my career. They give a…
