2013 review
Very belated 2013 review. Drafted sometime during the course of 2014, but only published in 2015 (but backdated to 2014, haha). With the Boy’s help / suggestions on high and low lights.

2011 review
So I think 2011 has shaped up to be a pretty slow year in terms of achievements
Summer of 2011
It’s been a long summer…
new girl in the office
i’ve been there for just about a month now. i’m still being relatively cautious, still having my feelers out and trying to get a sense of the political landscape and winds. the people, on the face it, seem nice and and pretty funny so far.
Le peril jaune (“the yellow peril”)
That’s one thing I like about London – this exuberant mixing of cultures, nationalities and races. The openness and willingness to share, interact, intermarry, love, hate and mingle in joyous abandon.
Marinating
In other news, my life’s a bit of a mess. I didn’t get the job that I was applying for. So now I’m stuck… kind of caught between a rock and a hard place.
Self defence
I got backstabbed by an ex-colleague recently, which really stunned me.
People tell me it’s normal, and very common even, to be backstabbed by colleagues. Maybe I’ve been fortunate, for not having encountered much of it before. Sure, there has been gossip about the Boy and I, and one of my colleagues has even commented that I’m “technically not a woman” (not sure what is the basis of his conclusion), but those were speculations and personal opinions, which, however misguided or otherwise, they are entitled to express.
