Happy, Working, Married, Woman.

Every once in a while, an article pops up online that is usually of the kind that makes my blood boil and leaves me infuriated for a while. In most of these case, if not all, these “blurbs” are written by men who believe women cannot or should not be allowed to do something: like…

What’s Next?

When the wedding ends, a whole chapter closes with it.  It still amazes me how a whole  chapter spanning several months and full of anticipation and planning comes to an abrupt end as the DJ plays his last song and the caterer begins to pack. Pending accounts are then settled, the dress and all rented accessories are returned, and…

Live Breathe Work

There’s nothing I want more than to be successful at work- to feel like I’m making a difference, that the effort I put in day and day out is actually leading to something. I’m very fortunate to make a living out of something I enjoy- even if it puts an emotional and physical toll on…

At The End Of The Work Week

I’m so glad this week is over. As far as working weeks go, this was one that had me explicitly stating to my manager and my co-worker that I just could not catch up to all the tasks thrown my way. I think my shoes are now worn out just because I’ve gone from one…

Observations From The Hospital

Hospitals can be weird and confusing. And they are definitely stressful for anyone who has to walk through their doors. The waits are long, the information is a lot to handle, there’s a lot of people to talk to, so many procedures to make sense of, and those glaring neon lights! But they are unavoidable….

It is so easy to feel like you are not going anywhere at work when you are faced with deadlines and your hard work gets edited a million times before it is finalized. And it is so easy to feel demotivated when you are made to think no one is listening to you, and there…

Always Tired

I have got to stop falling asleep on the couch. That’s it. As cute as it may seen the first fifty time, doing so every single night is actually starting to drain me of my energy. Isn’t that funny? What’s also funny is how easily we as humans can settle into routines and mine has…

You Can’t Make Everyone Happy

The working world can be harsh and unforgiving. A single mistake can mean someone’s whole opinion of you can change in that instant and no matter what you do, they’ll always see you as not doing enough, that you’re not cut out for the responsibilities you have been handed. Unfortunately for me, I think I…

What A Week It’s Been

I woke up on Monday with knots in my stomach, the kind that I haven’t experienced since I was in school, going back after the long summer holidays. Except I was going back to my big girl job where I get paid to finish things and make sure certain issues are running according to plan….

One of Those Days

This is one of those days where no topics are coming to mind. Trying to force myself to form complex thoughts on something will more likely result in a badly drawn out post. I tried looking for a song, but I don’t know what to include. It just seems that I keep listening to the…
