Nervous
Nervous, she closed the door. She reached for the key, started the engine. She looked, expectantly, at the man sitting in the passenger seat.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Drive through the gate and turn left, please.”
She put the car in gear, revved the engine, and started her driving test.
The first time I saw her
The first time I saw her,
She was blue;
Cord wrapped round her neck.
She was mine.
She was ours.
We loved her.
Now in her teens,
She breaks our hearts.
But we love her just the same.
The job you want
If the salary was the same, what job would you be doing right now and why?
I’ve always said that I’d rather have a lower paying job that I enjoy than a higher paying job for which I struggle to get out of bed.
The salary isn’t important. If you don’t like the job, or the people you’re working with, you’ll struggle to get up every morning and eventually the salary will not seem as important and you’ll lose it, anyway.
The reality is that most jobs pay a living wage by law. The real problem isn’t the salary; it’s what we do with the salary. When we overspend, we go looking for a high paying job that we don’t like. Far better to live within the means provided by a lower paying job that we enjoy.
One of the things I’ve learned since I’ve retired is that we waste stress on work. Once we leave, someone else takes over. And they could have taken over long ago if we had left sooner. We are not as irreplaceable as we’d like to think.
So, the salary isn’t the important thing. It’s more about enjoying the life you can afford than striving for the one you can’t.
Suits you, sir
What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced?
Rushing, up against time, I left my suit jacket at home, 25 miles away with 15 minutes before giving a presentation.
I walked into a charity shop 100 yards away from the venue. The first jacket on the first rack not only fitted perfectly, but it was also a perfect match for the suit, right down to the material and colour.
Someone must have been looking after me that day.
