What do you do to be involved in the community?

I could answer this question easily and say “Nothing”. Next question please.

I’m not active in anything currently but I have done the litter picking thing just like many people have stated, I’ve gardened for the elderly I’ve done shopping for them, I’ve recycled old cameras and passed them on to community groups, but to be honest, as I’ve stated in previous posts in my community there needs to be some community spirit and to be totally clear there is none of that around here.

There are so many isolated groups of people unwilling to interact with each other in this city, as in other sizeable cities and this makes developing a community spirit nigh on impossible.

The person who can break that cycle and develop community spirit will get my vote for office.

Have a superb day…

What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?

To be honest there is no job I would like to do for a day, however if I’m pushed I’d probably like to do the job of my boss, because:

I’ve done his job before and I’d just like to prove to him just how totally incompetent, useless, untrustworthy and disorganised he is. No malice intended here, he just is all four of the above. He has the man management skills of a Gibbon on heat, and you can’t talk to him about anything personal without someone else finding out about it. If things don’t go his way he just throws his toys out of the pram, a total incompetent being paid by a similarly incompetent and disorganised company.

And he is a Leeds fan.

I rest my case.

Have a good day, all of you.

What gives you direction in life?

Most mornings I discuss these questions with my wife as I use this blog like a journal that I used to keep beside my bed. In that journal I used to write my feelings and fears and left it there for her to read so she never had to worry about me hiding anything from her, being a blokey bloke sometimes you just can’t talk, this was my way of dealing with it.

Anyway I’m drifting here. The reason I discuss these things with the wife is that she sometimes knows me better than I know myself. She jokingly said to me that “I give you directions” however I corrected her and said yes, that’s right for directions, but this is direction in the singular sense.

Targets

What gives me Direction?

For me I have to have goals or targets in everything I do. I give myself a timescale on all my projects, I set myself small targets in pretty much everything. Even holidays are booked to have that something to aim for and the next holiday is usually already booked before we depart on the first one, ensuring continuity in timescales.

It all sounds very anal I know, but it keeps me in line and I’m happy if I’ve got something to aim for.

That’s direction for me. Look forward and don’t spend too much time dwelling in the past.

Have a wonderful day everyone

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

The respect quote is big for me and this picture below says it all:

Respect

The reason I put my dog up as the main picture for this post, is that he being a simple small canine he has this as his goal in life both to me and my wife and he delivers this daily without question.

Now let’s talk about humans….. nah I can’t be bothered to waste my time we’ll end it there.

You get my drift?

Have a good day all.
