my co-worker did not come to the office this morning, she chose to stay in bed. Lucky her. I, on the other hand, suddenly had an abundance of work came in. My boss called me and asked me to summarise all the measures that Switzerland is taking to help companies at this time into one…
Monday again, and another week of home office stretches ahead. I am still enjoying it, I feel more rested, but that could also be something to do with not being out on my evening activities as well I suppose. I am so lucky to be able to stay home and stay safe. I do really…
my last blog post is a while ago now, when I was looking for another job. I am still looking. There has been one interview, for a job I would have loved, but other than that, I have seen nothing that grabbed me. Going pro on Xing has also not really helped, as Xing still…
I had the day off today. It was wonderful. So nice to stay home, and just chill. I really should do it more often. Work is in that period of the run up to Christmas, when everything has to be finished, and it seems they want everything done by the 15th of December, so everyone…
two things happened today to cause me some frustration, and both involved dealing with men in my life, one being my boss and one being my husband, and both were connected to processes or lack of them. The boss and I had a bit of a culture clash today with a surreal discussion about how…

I first blogged this on our internal company blog. It sent my stats soaring and I have even made it to editors picks. So riding the wave of success, I have decided to also publish it here. This is how it started. I read this quote the other day from American coach John Wooden and it made…
2015 was a very memorable year for a lot of reasons. On a world stage we have an unprecedented number of refugees across the world, taking to small boats and risking everything to reach relative safety. Watching from the sidelines I have felt pretty helpless. My heart goes out to these people, and I have…
Maybe it is something to do with me getting older and my bosses getting younger. Maybe I want to be free to come in at 10 and leave at 4, or work from home now and then without having to tell anybody or to ask permission. As i get older and wiser in the ways…
As an accountant I always take a deep interest in reports of accounting scandals. The latest one to catch my eye is the case involving Toshiba which, according to reports, overstated its earnings by £780m over several years with the full knowledge of top management. Heads are already rolling with the chief executive and President…
