Happy Monday #30

It’s Monday!!!  Good morning… and happy first Monday in November 🙂

Before I present this week’s Happy Monday, I wanted to share a quick note about the site.  You may have noticed (or not) that the home page no longer includes Happy Monday posts.  Instead, they now have a nice little Happy Monday space of their own… if you have a quick peek to the top menu, you’ll notice a entry of its own on the top menu (next to “Blog”).

In addition to making it easier for you to view all Happy Mondays in the same place, this also frees up the homepage for our other posts – meaning you don’t have to wade through a barrage of chirpy Monday offerings to find that post you think you might have saw once on overcoming procrastination. read more

Good morning, lovely people of the t’interweb!

Are you up, ready and raring to go?   Whether it’s a yes or a no, boy are you in for a treat this morning!

  
 

You might be skipping like an excited bunny in the light of a new week, or sobbing into your Rice Crispies because Monday has arrived once more… however you’re feeling this morning, this is guaranteed to make you smile (or more smiley if you’re already smiling!).

Happy Monday #29

So, have you ever faked being sick to get out of work?  I’m going to hold my hands up here and admit that, although I’m not proud of it, I’ve “pulled a sickie” once or twice (many, many, many years ago). read more

Good morning, good morning.

I hope you all had an awesome weekend & are raring to go 🙂 Bring on the coffee, that’s what I say!

Okay, so I spent a ridiculous amount of time last week battling emails.  I don’t know whether it’s the same for you, but I can see how easy it would be to get so distracted by managing emails that you don’t actually get any work done.

So, it’s with emails in mind that I’m writing this week’s Happy Monday.  Enjoy! read more

Sunday night greetings everyone!  I’m currently in the middle of writing a module on CVs (for a project I’m working on with The Excellent You) and it dawned on me that I had stumbled upon some stuff that might be of value for you guys.

All too often, CVs are the sort of thing we bury at the bottom of our crap drawer, underneath the Haynes manual for a Fiesta we sold back in 1993.  We only pull it back out when we’re looking for a new job.  And even then – if you’re anything like me – it’s merely a quick dust down, spot of tippex over the coffee stain, into an envelope and out the door.  Job done! read more

Happy Monday #27

It’s that time of week again.  Good morning Monday & good morning readers!
 
I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  As it was cold, wet & windy (the default weather for Wales), I spent most of my time cwtched up under a blanket reading my Kindle.
 
For those of you who’re wondering what the heck I’m on about, “cwtch” is a word the Welsh use instead of “cuddle”.  Actually, we also tend to use it for the cupboard under the stairs (“it’s in the cwtch”), the small lounge in a pub (much like a snug – “I’ll meet you for a pint in the cwtch”) and for the dog’s bed (“Dai, get a cwtch”).
 
I suppose that makes sound an odd lot 🙂
 
And it’s with us Welshies that I present to you this week’s Happy Monday… read more
