Continue reading →: Two more pricks
Goodness knows how long it is since my last blood sugar test, but I thought I should get another reading. 11.3…..what does that mean? I should really try to find out,.since it is higher than the last test. But I will be seeing the nurse in about a week so…

Continue reading →: KT vs Training
KT, or knowledge transfer, is popular in some organisations, but what does it really entail? It should,as the name implies, be a process whereby specialist knowledge is shared.

This is not what you think, unless you were thinking his oven delivery has been delayed, in which case you’re bang on. Ordered a Bosch in-built oven on 7th January from Argos – told delivery would be 16th February – accepted delay reluctantly – checked online to see why they…

People rarely tell you exactly what they think about something you have created. Brutal honesty can hurt. Being a pseudo masochist, I pretend to like the pain of honest criticism. A sophisticated colleague commented on one of my odes (inuendo) which is a touch racey. I lean towards racey at…
