“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning with John Kiriakou

Let’s see: it’s dark and grey outside, I have a list of things to do longer than my arm, yet my motivation to do them is pretty much zero, and there is this rather odd stench of depression and failure in the air whenever I go outside. (This is also known...

7am?!? I should BE so lucky on a Monday morning… I had to wake up at the asscrack of dawn – actually, where I live, the Sun didn’t even have the decency to show the hell UP until something like 0800 – to make my way to a client site. And the...

Monday morning not-working from home

Mondays are pretty awful at the best of times. They are even worse when you have to deal with public transport. And they are just MISERABLE when said public transport is shut down because rail workers are pissed about getting paid quite a lot more than the national...

Monday morning eggs over easy

Monday arrived way too damn fast. I was rather enjoying the weekend – I went skiing, and actually managed not to fall down even once, despite being 6 months out of practice; I had a burger, beer, and fries for the first time in… well, a VERY long time; I...

Monday morning giving tanks

Mondays are just the WORST, especially if you have to get up early to hit the road on a business trip. There are few things quite as miserable as being jolted hard out of a sound, deep, and very pleasant sleep, by the insistent chirping of your alarm. (If that alarm...

What a bothersome, blustery, horrid Monday. In my neck of the woods (so to speak), it is incredibly windy, to the point where you literally cannot walk properly outside – if you weigh less than 50Kg dripping wet, you might just end up doing the full Mary Poppins...

Whoo boy, do Mondays ever suck. It really is no fun to have to get up early, hit the road, and spend nights away from home. But, if that is the job, then we might as well get on with it. Hopefully your weekends were restful and enjoyable, because this week looks like...

Monday morning Big Bang Twattery

Welp, Monday is back again, and once again, I am on the road. I tell you, working from a client site is not much fun when you have to do it for most of the week. Nonetheless, that is how we pay the bills, which lets me do this as a side gig for shits and giggles, so...

Monday morning Victoria’s not-so-Secret

There goes the weekend – I miss it already. Today is the beginning of yet another week of travel and nonsense, but that is what we have to do to put food on the table. I mean, let’s be honest, there is a REASON why you have to pay people to turn up for...

Monday morning celebritard deathmatches

Ugh, Monday. Again. This particular Monday finds me on the road, for a full 4 days of the week – and I cannot claim to be happy about it, in the slightest. Travelling for business is HUGELY overrated – the only good thing one can say about it is, you...
