Sometime-ish UK Weather

What is happening with this British sometime - ish weather? I damn near put on a scarf this morning, and then, as if by magic, we're bang in the middle of Miami, just like that!

Call me an exaggerator but I don't even know whether I'm coming or going - no consistency whats so ever! I can't even get excited for tomorrow's potential sun because these forecaster's don't know what they're saying either! There could be a storm tomorrow!!! Who knows!

Look! I'm not complaining - I'm just saying!

Job Search Mockery

(Image: blogjob)

Remembering this is the new positive me, can I just say that while I'm chasing dreams, people in the recruitment world are stomping on them - seriously!!!! These people aren't trying to assist me in my task to be the best at all. Cor blimey!

Even though I have career plans beyond the norm, I've been turfed from a couple of jobs via post and email today, that I didn't really want in the first place! All I was trying to do is make some lose change while I'm free, and all I've been met by is mockery. I find it all a bit shocking really. It's like my blessed name has been black listed or something!

In fact, I'm starting to think it must be one of two things which is blocking my success. I am either over - qualified or I'm under qualified, and I refuse to believe it's the lata, so therefore can someone tell me what's going on? And before you say it, the Recession is no longer a excuse! Sorry! I've seen my job out there but people aren't giving me a chance...

Don't worry about me though, I'm just going to keep on, keeping on because that's all I can do - short of turning into a fat pork chop without a penny to her name.

Needless to say, "I'm just a girl... looking for a job, to love her..."

If anyone knows where the inspiration for the above quote comes from, I will give them a whole £1 - DON'T ALL RUN AT ONCE!!!!!!

"DON’T TALK ABOUT IT, BE ABOUT IT!!!! "

(Image: http://www.gakusen.ac.jp)

YES, YES... a stimulated mind is what I’ve been graced with this week and I am grateful. It’s time to break those bad habits people, and make some new money making ones...and those of you, who think your life is all hunky dory - think again -
there are always room for improvements!!!!

So the question is...What is your plan? What do you want to get out of life? What do want to accomplish in 18months? 3 years...10 years? No one’s getting younger out here!!!

SO WHAT IS YOUR PLANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN?

I think life in your 20s can be some of the most misguided years you’ll ever experience, because it’s a period where you’re finding yourselves in the big bad world. Do you ever get the feeling that you know where you want to get to life, but don’t know how to get there? This could be because you haven’t planned a damn thing, and you know what they say, “A person without a plan, plans to fail.”

There are two reasons I brought this up...
1.I am alittle bit of an procrastinator - just a little.
2.I attended an insightful seminar the other day called, “I AM MY BRAND”, headed by business entrepreneur, Kubi Springer

All I say is hats off to Kubi - THIS WOMAN IS NOT A JOKE! I am not going to give you her life story, but let’s just say she made me ask myself one question, “What the hell have I been doing out here?” Nah like, really?????????? Wasting my brain and time, concerned with utter foolishness and not maximising on my skills, my qualities, MY BRAND!!!!!!! Kubi offered people advice on the right ways to market yourself in business and even in relationships.

If i am honest, I‘ve got about 10 millions things I want to do with my life. I love to say, ‘I’m going to start this, that and the other...’ and then, as if my magic, the zest to get things done is gone...Well no more!! I have said this before but I am overly ambitious and need to apply myself more. So that’s me, what about you? What do you need to do to put your life, your business, your career in order?

Make no mistake! It's time that you knew your self -worth because you are a brand which is constantly being judged and expected to perform. So never let your BRAND slip!!!

Whatever it is you want to accomplish, start thinking and planning.

DON’T TALK ABOUT IT, BE ABOUT IT!!!!

Cor Calm Down Rihanna!

Rihanna is about as fashion forward as you can get right now, but damn man!! This girl has shaved both sides of her head and left the middle!!!!!

This girl drops some crazy styles 99% percent which I do love, but I'm not too sure about this hairstyle.

You can only hazard a guess as to 'who' or what made her do something so drastic - she'll be cutting her finger off next GEEZ!!!!!!!!!!

To be, or not to be a 'Brown Nose?'

(Image from The BBC)

I'm just throwing this out there...

A "Brown Nose" - A person who does WHATEVER it takes to please someone else, at whatever cost. Or in its rawest terms, a person - much like the image above - has their face so far up another person bum (through sucking-up to them), that they end up having S**T on their noses - hence the term, 'BROWN NOSE'.

I'm often in conversations with my friends and colleagues about what it takes to get ahead in life, and more specifically, in the work place. Some people sleep their way to the top, some always make it their business to buy all the rounds in the pub, even if they're down to their last penny, but the more serial offenders, are those who have the "Yes Sir, Yes Sir, Three bags full Sir" attitude. You know what I mean, those people that will say, "Oh could I get that for you, John?", "Tea John?"," Can I lick your toes John?". I'm sure you get my point, but please, excuse the pun, when I say, if you do it too much, it just stinks...

Is it all necessary? That's my question! Must we be the first person at work, and the last one out? Must we do more than our job spec and never complain? Must we get the tea even though no ones thirsty? Must we? Must we? You most certainly don't need to if you're comfortable with your position at work. But if you're the one in the office that always gets caught skiving, YOU'RE THE ONE taking year long 'tea' breaks and it's you, YES YOU, who turns into Lewis Hamilton at the strike of 5pm, it maybe time for a slight injection of the Brown Nose mentality - especially if you want to progress in your career.

Now, I don't want people to misunderstand my viewpoint, because I can't stand the conventional acts of a Brown Nose, however I have witnessed - and I know you have to - the benefits of performing Brown Nose acts. Making the tea before it's ask of you, asking your boss whether they need any assistance, volunteering your services even when it's not required, these are all conventional moves of a Brown Nose. The Boss loves it and the Brown Nose gets a head, while you're still trailing behind, if noticed at all.

What I propose is a slightly less irritating option, one which allows your nose to be free. I propose, that you just do one better than you did before, gradually do little extra things which will allow you to be seen as a good team player and a valid employee. I think it's the way the Brown Nose can alienate their colleagues, and tend to rub your nose in it indirectly which really gets my goat.

But I 'm here to tell you that good work, is good work, and if you know that's what your doing, keep it up. However, if you haven't finished something and it could be left until tomorrow, maybe one day consider staying there until its done - if possible. Easy does it...

As for me, I have come to a monumental decision, and in my new job, I will attempt to gradually pull out all the stops, but not annoyingly like a certified Brown Nose, but just enough for me to always be remembered and valued.

I much rather be remembered as I high achiever, than a certified Brown Nose!!!!!!!

Krystle GOT TOLD!!!!!!!!

(Image of moi)

Those of you who know me personally, know that this year I feel like I've been mocked, thrown from pillar to post, pushed to the point of no return - I think you get my point. But I'm not here to moan, oh no, I am turning things around from this day forth, because today folks, Krystle Got Told! Krystle was told about her life and her blog, and to be quite honest these things needed to be said.

When I first started this blog, I wanted to write about everything which interested me, but somehow I've been lost in translation, and there I say, chatted some unnecessary Bull S**t along the way. Therefore I am now going to pour my opinion over everything that interests me and share it with all of you, just because I can.

From today, I am going to start as I mean to go on because I am truly bless, overly ambitious and have too much to say and do with my life, to sit here moaning and not accomplishing! So there you have it - enter a new positive Krystle, exit a moany and uninspired Krystle.

NOTE: This moment was inspired by church and a good friend.

In the words of Jay – Z: "I’ma sleep when I'm dead!" - Holla!

MJ's Memorial Service

My bones have only just got use to the fact that Michael Jackson has left us, and now we prepare ourselves for one of the biggest memorials of all time.

Hundreds and thousands of fans are set to attend the memorial tomorrow (Tuesday)in L.A.

But as you must have heard, there's a policy - 'If your names not down, you not coming in' - well sort of! Only ticket holders and credentialed press will get into the Staduim, but if you manage to get a flight and get down there you will be joining the thousands of non - ticket holders that will try to crash the event aswell.

Tickets were going for as much as $1,000. I would say I'm shocked but it's MJ - anything is possible.

I wish I could be there to show my respects and see the likes of The Jacksons, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Hudson, Mariah etc pay homage to the King of Pop.
