For someone who seems to have an incurable fear of forms, I move too often. There is nothing I have found so far that has more bureaucracy than moving, especially if that move requires you to obtain a visa. Dealing with the logistics is time-consuming and stressful, but not hard. Dispose of assets: car (the last tie to ...

Love and Other Fairy Tales
It's weird being single again. When things weren't great, when I wasn't happy - when I didn't think things would work out, I never thought ahead to this point. Saturday night with nothing to do. Putting a friend down as my emergency contact on a form. It's good. I'm not down about it. I was at ...

It’s Not a Disaster
Travel gives me a lot of time to think, the planes, the airports, the queues. And the jetlag - there's no lonelier time than four in the morning, wherever you happen to be.

Time For Change
At the end of last week, I wrote that it had been "a mixed week". And then on Monday, things went and got crazier. I'm still waiting for the dust to settle so that I can figure out what is actually going on. A friend is in town for a while. Last time I saw him, he told ...

Being Dispensable
I heard a horrible story the other day - someone had been off work because they were seriously ill, and a week before they returned to work one of their colleagues called all her clients and said she was never coming back. Shocking, right? Bitchy! Horrifying. Disgusting behavior. Hurtful. The last thing you need. If my ...
