Umm, ok here goes...In my effort to get with the times, try everything once and tick something off on my imaginary bucket list, I am going to start this blog and see what happens. As a very on and off diarist I don't expect it to be regular and/or particularly enlightening but I hope that it becomes a way to share my weird & wonderful ideas and thoughts with family/friends/strangers and maybe find out what they think. I'm sure other bloggers have more definate ideas but this is my first time and I want to stay open to anything.
So to start with I want to mention workplace bullying because it seems to me that its definately out there causing a lot of grief to people who really don't need it in there lives. Bullying always conjures up for me the images of Nelson and his friends from the Simpsons, misguided young dudes picking on anyone they consider weaker than themselves. The fact that this same behaviour continues with young and older adults in workplaces really disturbs me, expecially when supervisors and other staff turn a blind eye to the situation. I know Aussie culture frowns upon "taddletales" but what about just confronting the bully and telling them its not on. Also give the person being bullied some kind of support, even if its just asking if them if they are are ok.
For the moment, that is all .... :)
