Here, There and Everywhere - 31 Mar 08
Its been quiet for a while here on Mad Eejits, but not without good reason.
The short version is that a couple of Fridays ago (14th March), I found out that I had to fly out to the U.S. for a week, that Monday, for some knowledge transfer sessions. Not having flown anywhere for over 2 years, there was a bit of frantic packing on the Sunday afternoon, followed by re-packing after checking current airport security guidelines and finally hunting for my passport.
The Woman Who Stops Traffic - 05 Mar 08
I’ve been following, with great interest, the mini-series on Channel 4 called The Woman Who Stops Traffic, in which professional ‘trouble-shooter’ Kris Murrin tries to help 3 towns which are suffering from severe traffic congestion.
An Unexpected Bonus - 27 Feb 08
Isn’t a great feeling when you put on a coat or jacket that you haven’t worn in a while and find some money in one of the pockets? It might be £5, £10 or even £20, but the amount doesn’t really matter. What’s more important is that you didn’t know you’d lost the money, so when you find it, its like getting something for nothing.
Going Green - One Year On - 10 Feb 08
On the eve of Mad Eejits hosting the Carnival of the Green for the first time, I thought it might be worthwhile to look back on our first year of trying to be more eco-friendly to see what we’ve achieved.
A New Job for the New Year - 13 Dec 07
Its taken nearly 6 months of searching, but I finally found the right opportunity for me to move on from my current role to something new. I’ll be finishing with my current employer before Christmas and will start the New Year in a new job.
Job Security (Or Lack of It) - 18 Jun 07
Well, I still have a job. Up to 10am this morning I wasn’t so sure, but for several people in the office, that uncertainty became a certainty in the wrong direction. I thought we’d left behind the days of mass job cuts, in software firms, after the fall-out of the ‘dot com bubble’ bursting. Yet here we are, several years later, cutting jobs to cut costs and hoping that sales pick up or we could be facing yet more redundancies.
