Project Management Life as a project manager is comparable to a mountain climber's. The big difference being that when you get to the peak you find there is no safe way down.

It was a beautiful ...

confessions in a bottle
1:The Beginning I was sitting innocently on the beach, minding my own business when a huge wave slung this bottle at me. Luckily it was a plastic coke bottle and not a discarded wine bottle, which could easily have broken my nose. From inside I extracted the following message. My name is unimportant, you can call me Marion, no wait make that Rhiannon. If I get my choice it may as well be something sexy. I li...

What the Queen said, and what she really meant
"Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements." English interpretation: "My sister's a lush, my daughter in law bollimic, my son insists on making it out with a cow, my husband's so senile that he tries to put it in the vacuum cleaner and my favorite Corgi has eloped to America." --- "It's all to do with the training: you c...

Life’s Questions

SSSSS

Sometimes I write movies
Somtimes I write songs
Sometimes I feel every waking moment
Is absolutely wrong.

-
Sometimes I’m an empty canvas
With a bucketload of paint
Often I’m my worse nightmare
Pretending to be a saint.

Maybe I’m a misplaced child
Who won’t believe he’s lost
Or a shopaholic for a long lost life
Who can’t afford the cost.

-
Maybe I don’t exist at all
Just a part in someone’s book.
Maybe you won’t see me at all
If you take a second look.

-
Perhaps I am a philosopher’s cat
Or a goldfish less a bowl.

Maybe I’m an exotic dancer
Who’s just mispaced her pole.

-
Maybe I’m an actor
Still waiting for his cue
But in the end
The question stands
Could it be I’m you?
