A Job Well Done

Posted on June 23, 2020 by Detrecto

I don’t get self congratulatory very often but today I stepped off the ledge and did something that I genuinely don’t like doing – public speaking. I guess that’s true of most people but whenever I have an audience of more than 1, I go from sensible, knowledgeable and in control to a weird British-Aussie…

The Tiredness / Energy Balance

Posted on June 21, 2020 by Detrecto

Today is one of those days where I have a lot of work to do. Today is one of those days where I have very little energy to do said work Today is the type of day where I’m going to read each sentence about 57 times to make sure it makes sense. Today can,…

Tired

Posted on June 19, 2020June 19, 2020 by Detrecto

I’m tired and I’m sad. It’s been a trying few days. Generally I stay away from talking about things in the news. My voice adds nothing to the conversations and I do what I can day to day to fight the injustices of the world without trying to preach to others about what I try…

Recovery

Posted on June 15, 2020 by Detrecto

One of the best things about inconvenience is that it is a stellar opportunity to check in with my old friend, anxiety. Whilst I am, by nature, an anxious frog I find myself content with the level of stress I now experience when doing day to day tasks compared to days gone by. It’s an…

Difference

Posted on June 9, 2020 by Detrecto

Good Health

Posted on May 31, 2020 by Detrecto

I had a Covid-19 test today. I got a mild sore throat last night and have had a small cough as well as aching muscles. For all the world it feels like a very minor cold but off to the local hospital I trekked on the advice of the Covid line and was duly jabbed…

WFH – Learnings

Posted on May 27, 2020 by Detrecto

It’s absolutely and perfectly acceptable to attend an office zoom call with a hood on if you’re cold and other people on the call can substantiate the temperature where they are. Working from home dumbs people down. Today I picked up two hot cups of tea, cupping them with my hands. Burning my hands in…

Driving

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Detrecto

I get to go to the office today – which is a 40 minute drive on a country highway where I probably won’t see too many other cars and I’ll have the opportunity to pop a podcast on and enjoy a total of 1.5 hours of solitude. It feels weird in a lock down world….

Making Up Your Mind

Posted on May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 by Detrecto

Having cats is a wonderful thing. They’re friendly, funny, soft, warm and entertaining and they look great in front of a roaring fire. But at the end of my innings when I see the play back of my life and how I spent my time, I wonder how many frames are going to be devoted…

Posted on May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 by Detrecto

This has gone wildly viral by now and with good reason. There’s a gentleman in the States by the name of Rob who has stated a channel called “Dad, How Do I?”. The idea behind the channel is to provide practical demonstrations and advise for people who may have had absent parents or may not…
