Due to the chipper manor of some of my family members, I have renamed them in my phone. My mum is the Prophet of Doom. Some of her recent comments include:

“What is wrong with your face at the moment?”

“This is not looking good” (regarding my first mortgage application which failed)

“Personally I think it looks disgusting” (regarding some soup I made).

Luckily I know not to take offense (much) as she will also at times provide me with wonderful insights into her strange world. Such as the time she tried to explain why mum nan’s twins could have been identical, even though one was a boy and one was a girl.

Oh yes, they’ll be plenty of mum stories showing up on here, you mark my words.

Today the wifi at our office has been offline. This has lent itself to a great deal of article writing and some other less helpful tasks to entertain myself. The least helpful task has been seeing if I can get to the office door without activating the movement sensor on the lights.

And I did!

I even video’d it to prove it. If this can be achieved, who knows what more is possible within my vast repitoiur of skills? I’d like to attempt walking through walls but suspect this could be a somewhat more pain inducing video series. For me at least.

I think I might make a good solicitor. I don’t know much about law and that but I think I can remember the basics. Though shalt not do bad stuff etc.

I have a solicitor at the moment who was trying to explain to me the reasons why a property I am buying should be freehold, leasehold or possibly (it’s complicated) a bit of both. He spent about 40 minutes saying lots of words. The sentences felt like a combination of the same words each time in a slightly different order. “You can’t do this because of that but if you speak to whoever the whatever might happen.” Then next “You speak to whoever because the whatever might happen but you can’t do this” etc.

After 40 minutes I told him he might as well have been speaking in Chinese. He wasn’t very impressed.

Later I spoke to someone from the bank who said “That part of the building cannot be freehold because to be freehold it has to be touching the Earth.” Instantly I got it. It took one person one sentence and roughly 10 seconds to say the thing the solicitor had spent 40 minutes not saying. I’ve decided that this is why they charge you by the hour. Initially I thought it was a simple miscommunication. It isn’t it’s entirely on purpose that they confuse you and have to spend more time explaining, because it goes towards their hourly rate. Grrr.

Wow I have my very own blog…. A totally self indulgent place where I don’t just have to talk about the wonderful work I do, but instead can give my own ego a bit a webspace to express itself in a bigger way than my Facebook friends would ever tolerate.

Bless you and thank you for signing up to my blog (if you haven’t that was an embedded command for you to do so.)

The goal of this blog is to give insight into the ramblings of my innermost mind. It probably won’t be informative like the People Building Blog, or inspiration like the NLP4Kids one. It’s likely to be a bit more gritty, a bit more (yes more) self indulgent and maybe if you’re lucky, occasionally funny. But I wouldn’t count on it. It will most likely be inconsistently funny, with the occasional moans and mainly self indulgent. I’m single so I’m allowed to be selfish like that. I’m also a entrepreneur and a speaker so I have disgusting amounts of self belief and I’m probably over opinionated in many people’s points of view. Luckily I don’t care too much about their point of view because I’m selfish and have a disgusting amount of self belief.

So welcome along! 😀
