The other day while surfing channels I chanced upon a news story that made me stop. A janitor was cleaning floors at a school and the reporter was saying that we shouldn't judge a person by the work they do. And yet I had made a lot of assumptions about this silver-haired person with a … Continue reading The Best Job in the World

Disconnecting From the Matrix
Years ago I watched the movie "The Matrix" (several times for Keanu Reeves) and it seemed like a fantasy with no element of truth in it. But when I watched it when I was older (and wiser - ahem!) it seemed not too far fetched from the reality we wake up to every day. The daily … Continue reading Disconnecting From the Matrix

And yet every year is vividly different from the one before and the one after … Continue reading New Year and New Hopes
A Day in the Life of the Unemployed
The novelty of moving to a new place has quickly worn off and I realize we are still unemployed albeit in a different part of the world. The days seem to bleed into one another. It doesn't matter if it is a Monday or a Friday. Only weekends seem different, with the kids around. The rest of week … Continue reading A Day in the Life of the Unemployed
A Poltergeist who Loves the Toilet
It has been my secret fantasy to encounter a ghost. Not the scary ones that haunt, possess and kill their victims, but the cute and cuddly Casper the friendly ghost types. My grandma met her fair share of ghosts in her lifetime and I thought it only fair that I should too. We moved into our … Continue reading A Poltergeist who Loves the Toilet
