Back To Work
With the COVID-19 pandemic easing, federal civil servants working at home have been tod they must return to working in the office, at least a couple of days a week. Some are not enthused at the thought. I’m not convinced working at home is as productive for many people. Witness the problems the civil service […]
Monday’s Smile
I was going to use these images last Monday, and got sidetracked. But I remembered that I had them and am sharing them today. They are more inspirational than funny perhaps, but who doesn’t need a bit of inspiration to start the work week? I must admit I have never been overly concerned with Mondays. […]
Advice For A New Year
Saw this message at the house we visited on New Year’s Eve. Thought it might be an appropriate thought to keep in mind as we enter what is sure to be a tumultuous year.
New Year’s Eve 2022
It’s been a difficult year for many people and for society at large.

Reducing Christmas Stress
For many people, Christmas is a stressful season. It isn’t supposed to be. We just make it that way. I realized this week that I could reduce my stress by postponing some things until the new year. I canceled a meeting – and the other particpants thanked me profusely. They too were trying to squeeze […]
The Joys of Bureaucracy

Tuesday’s Truth
I was going to expand on these words of wisdom I found online. Then I thought that if you don’t already understand, no explanation will make it clear.
Saturday’s Smiles
I went looking online for something to brigfhten your day, and everything that came up seemed to come from the Bizarro comic strip. The newspaper I subscribe to doesn’t carry this one – I had forgotten how much it can make me smile. I hope it does the same for you.
