You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! We begin with some big work-related news, news that I hope will provide relief to a lot of people, albeit for different reasons. I find myself having mixed feelings, because of the circumstances of a colleague’s resignation, but ultimately this will prove for the best for all parties. It […]
Who wants to hear me talk about big, hard, elections?
How has technology changed your job? Hmm. I don’t know if technology has changed my job to any significant degree since I’ve been doing it. When I first got into bathroom design back in 2015, I used a very specific set of design tools, and nearly nine years on from that first experience, I am […]
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? An interesting question. The covid-19 pandemic forced a lot of changes upon us all. There was a new routine, for a time, but with the end of pandemic measures, that routine has largely disappeared. Still, what did I do differently during that […]
Make reference to the subject of canon in respect of sci-fi and fantasy works, and you will immediately set a lot of fans frothing at the mouth. Why? Because canon is what counts, canon is what matters, and yet, so many fans of so many shows, movies and books cannot agree on what canon is. […]
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? I’d love the ability to be able to instantly relax, but I don’t think that’s a true skill! On the other hand, maybe the ability to detach one’s self from turbulence and unwind is a skill of sorts. I have a feeling the […]
Loosely inspired by conversations with Citizen Tom, and building on previous posts here, here and here, let’s ask some questions, and attempt to provide answers. A very good starting point would be this comment of mine over at Tom’s site, and his response: What would you suggest as a replacement (to federally-funded education)? A for-profit […]
Following on from this post, this post, and this post by Bruce Gerencser, and factoring in a post of Citizen Tom’s I thought I’d continue this little series. Bruce’s post framed the topic of public money around education, which is a good point to follow up. Some people – usually from the religious right – […]
There are a number of shows and movies that I have seen several times over. I have my ‘comfort’ shows, and I would happily watch any one of them, right now if I could. Star Trek: The Next Generation is where I ‘cut my teeth’ as far as sci-fi was concerned. I have re-watched numerous […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
