Happy Monday #59

Good morning… and a Happy Monday to all you Survive at Workers out there!

I hope you’ve had an awesome weekend and are ready to get your teeth stuck in to another work week!

It’s been an eventful weekend this side of things, with two falls (first by Mr Rocky & then by myself) followed by two lots of limping.  I therefore hobble into this brand new week a whole £372 lighter in the wallet (thank you vet fees!).

But that’s not going to stop me getting excited… I’m still going to leap (albeit figuratively) into another 5 days of awesomeness.  Who’s with me? read more

Happy Monday!
 
Yet again it’s a Bank Holiday Monday over here in the UK. Is it me, or does every other Survive at Work seem to be a Bank Holiday edition?
 
Not that I’m complaining of course… I’ll never say no to taking a Monday off 🙂

Happy Monday from Survive at Work. Make a Difference

Happy Monday #57

Good morning!

I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but here it’s like a miserable November morn.  The sky is grey, the rain is tumbling down and there’s a definite chill in the air.  Certainly not the sort of Monday where you leap out of bed, ready to get your hands on the world!

But that’s what Happy Monday’s are for… Your weekly dose of “go get ’em cowboy” for your career 🙂

This morning I’d like to share with you the TEDx talk “The Happy Secret to Better Work” by psychologist Shawn Achor: read more

Happy Monday #56

 
Good morning and Happy Monday to you!
 
I hope you all had a magnificent weekend and packed lots of adventure into the past few days.  The weather here has been quite disappointing (yet again), no doubt due to our maritime climate.  
 
Being ever the optimist, I’m convinced the warm sunshine from early April is just around the corner and I’ll soon be able to put my brand new 10 foot swimming pool up in the garden 🙂
 
As soon as it happens, you’ll have photos.

Happy Monday #55

Good morning!

Here in the UK it’s a Bank Holiday and most of the country is off work 🙂  And that’s not the best of it… we’ve still got another two to go this year!

The weekend was an eventful one, with us welcoming a brand new little Princess into the fold.  If you’re following us over on Twitter, you’ll already know extremely excited I’ve been.  I’m now on pins waiting to find out what Wills & Kate will name her (fingers crossed for Elizabeth… a noble name reserved for awesome people 😉 ).  Exciting times! read more
