I’m sure that I’ve been told that one should never start a post or update with an apology. But, here we are. I have been out of communication for a while now. Towards the middle of last year, I found myself slipping into a state of burnout. The upshot was that I needed to step…

Burnout and Writing
Burnout is all over the internet at the moment. For the first time in my life I feel fashionable. I’ve been spending a bit of time just trying to give myself as much rest as I can get when not at work or looking after our little toddler. I’m feeling better for it, although I…
Okay, so, I’m definitely sailing close to burnout
This is something that I’ve been avoiding thinking about, or looking squarely at for some time now. Until the last few weeks, I wasn’t even certain what was going on, but I’m now fairly convinced that I’m wandering along the borderlands of burnout. I also think this is a mixed burnout. It’s not just writing…
A skip and a delay
First, apologies for missing last week. Just my usual parade of excuses, tiredness, business, family and workload all combining. I have writing finished to post, but it will have to be tomorrow. The evening has got on a bit too late unfortunately. However, I will have something up for you tomorrow.
Another delayed post
Although it should be up by tomorrow. Just a long day, and the hours have gotten away from me a bit. Thanks for your understanding.
Slight delay
Just a slight delay on the post this week. The writing is done, but it’s gotten to be a bit late to get it up today (our little toddler was not in a mood to go to sleep at his usual time). Will have the next post up tomorrow I expect.
A bit of work overload…
Hi everyone. Just letting you know that I’m a bit overwhelmed with workload at the moment. I suspect I’ll have difficulty getting a post up this week, but I’ll do my best to get something up soon. If I do manage to get something online, it’ll definitely be later in the week.
Cough cough splutter
Hi everyone. I’m a bit under the weather this week, and might not be able to get a post up. I’ll like to keep a post going up each week, even if it is a bit late, so we’ll see how I’m feeling tomorrow. For now though, I might need to be off to bed…
Well… that was a bit crazed and frenetic
So, things are finally starting to settle down. I’ve been pulling some very long hours and keeping a lot of balls in the air for the last 2-3 weeks (amazingly, only one or two balls actually hit the ground and shattered into tiny glassy shards). But, work demands have started to calm down. At this…
Late post this week…
Just a quick post to let you know that the update is going to be late this week. Workload is still overwhelming me a bit. Although things should ease off within the next few days, I’ll definitely be late getting to the post. Will put up the next little section as soon as the more…
