Man in the Mirror moment

17 days ago, I was washing and splashing about with an elephant…yes, a real adult elephant in Indonesia. Today, I am trying to work out how to tackle my well-overdue CCAK exam.

So my tactic is to do a little bit of daily work and build up my exam readiness muscle memory.

This is by no means easy as my struggle is distraction avoidance. With my PS5 secured and stored in my garage, there will be no game time just a second-hand view on Twitch.

Back in Stride again, again

“Normal” operations have resumed and my thoughts turn to aspirations. Why do I hold back? How much is enough? £100k, £500k, £2million? What would make a difference and what is the real cost.

Grinding through the original Mafia game reveals the typical climbing up the ladder story which for the most part is one way littered with compromises and regrets.

Is happiness better as a Low Level or a GodFather?

Everything that has a beginning…

I seldom have an exit strategy, it just creeps on me and I find myself staring at a life milestone.

Still need to craft my Last Will. I don’t feel good, I don’t feel down, I don’t feel up. I feel disappointed.

I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.
I feel disappointed.

..time to let go.

The maze of Digital hygiene

Digital: An abstract mess of details. What is my data, company data, public data, who owns it, who can share it, can I unplug from it?

Most folk willingly sign up for privacy notices just to use a service without really understanding the risk or their obligations or even reading the 20+ pages of nonsense.

Regulations wrap us up in legal jargon that is often difficult to understand and is contantly changing.

I’m so sick of being an “expert”.

How do I get out of this one?
