Easy and impossible are two very different things.
I'm currently looking to create change, so this has struck a chord with me.
I was just thinking I've got a real mental block with starting and then realised that I started over a year ago, but it feels like very slow progress indeed.
I think perhaps change can be exponential in it's progress, so inevitably it feels less probable at the beginning.
Maybe the next few steps aren't as difficult as they have become in my mind.
I've not specified my qualification subjects, neither will I.
Some people plainly do not have the language, or reasoning skills necessary to attain the qualifications they claim, at least not to the standard I would expect from my experience. I wouldn't say that's the case here, though.
This kind of medium on the internet allows for all sorts of playing, exploration and learning and fundamentally I have no objection to that. The issue I have, which is relevant for any kind of social research whether under graduate, or post graduate, is ethics.
If one's actions, or research, whether personal, or academic are at the expense of others, or the self, it's maybe time for some reflection.
Earlier in the year I was working with a 62 year old 'mean girl', real playground behaviour which dominated the team and disrupted an otherwise fun loving, co-operative bunch of people.
I walked through a door, caught her skiving while everyone else was working flat out with sweat running into their eyes and a dose of mean girl in her own style just burst out of me.
I'm not proud of my lack of professionalism, but her reaction was hilarious.
Ye-ah, I'm so hoping you're not muddled between Jack the Ripper and Jac_the_Gripper, although I'm not sure which one would make you the dodgier dude.
But thankyou for the 'like' and compliment. If my local bus service lays on a route to Texas I'll let you know when to put the kettle on.
(Assuming you can make tea properly, otherwise your no friend of mine. )
I've already 'fessed up to theft up above, so that leaves me with finding my landlady's son's laundry muddled up with mine. I thought one of my socks had opted for gender reassignment surgery.
A few weeks ago when I caught my foot on a heavy 1920's reclining conservatory chair.
When was the last time you went to get on a bus/went to purchase something and realised you'd forgotten to bring a means of paying for it? What was the reaction?
I took my two eldest grandchildren last November. Having coughed up the entrance fee and stood around waiting for ages for it to start, we lasted five minutes because my grandson found the noise painful.
Luckily, my bedroom window overlooks the site the display, so we watched the spectacle in comfort.
Then my grandson found he'd lost his small teddy, was utterly distraught and I spent several hours retracing our steps in two villages by torchlight to no avail.
The next day I was walking over to their house when I felt an odd squish under foot - I'd found the pavement coloured teddy.
Perhaps the drama queens are the ones who want to see her as evil in every which way possible. It makes for an exciting and dangerous story...at a safe physical and emotional distance.
Never mind what damage it's done and continues to do to her.
It was always an emotional story, the investigation built on salacious ideas and prejudice, rather than practical, accurate evidence.
And let's face it, if the US legal system has protected her, the Italian legal system must be below gutter level.
I've got to the age where I run through the entire list of grandchildren's names before I hit on the right one, so I've given up being embarrassed about it.
When was the last time you found the perfect gift for someone?
I'm living in 1 1/2 rooms with a makeshift kitchen at the moment, waiting for work to be finished on an attic flat. My workshop is packed up in boxes and I'm frothing at the mouth with my creativity thwarted.
When was the last time you were asked a question which assumed your lifestyle was the same as the questioner's? (I've painted more rooms than you can shake a stick at. )
I'm lucky to have a small handful of people around me who share and listen, but it tends to be in bits and pieces regularly, rather than heart to heart sessions.
When was the last time you painted a room and what colour was it? Did you get the effect you wanted?
