Working Stories

"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What will it take for me to be the only thing on your mind?" He asked, tentatively pacing... slowly, dominantly up to me with a face full of unrecognizable emotion and his eyes deeply concentrating on mine. Not much, I thought realizing my thoughts generally consisted of his very existence currently. "Other than escaping this.....marriage? Mmmmh, a lot " I answered as sarcastically as I could watching him tower me, finally arriving at my feet. "That's disappointing" he claimed as he cupped my face, supposedly moving it to the side before digging his face in my neck and inhaling. ************************************ A girl is kidnapped and shipped off to another country. She is tortured into submission because the gang leader wants his father to believe that the two are in love and more than ready to marry. But will they actually fall in love?

#1 - working #22 - drama One accident was all it took to erase Xu Nannan's comfortable 21st-century life and throw her into the harshest years of the 1960s. She wakes up poor, hungry, and trapped in the body of a fifteen-year-old girl abandoned by her city-living parents and despised by her relatives. The famine may be over, but for her and her little sister, starvation is still a daily threat. Just as hunger threatens to break her, Xu Nannan discovers an impossible miracle: her online shop (Taobao) has followed her through time, hidden inside her mind. Modern food, supplies, and opportunities are now within reach- she's smart enough to use them. With this secret advantage, she quietly feeds her sister, protects herself, and begins planning for something bigger. This life, she refuses to rot in the countryside. Xu Nannan sets her sights on education, graduation, and escaping the village for good. From earning work points to seizing rare chances, from enduring family cruelty to cutting ties without regret, she walks a clear path toward the city, success, and wealth. A rebirth story of endurance and ambition-about a girl who survives her destiny, leaves the countryside behind, graduates against all odds, and rises from hunger to prosperity, rewriting her fate step by step.

Here is the English synopsis of "Survival for Fulfilling Goals" in four lines: ​In a world of legendary beasts and ancient treasures, Ren's journey begins with the tragic poisoning of his mother and a path of rigorous "Core" training. Alongside his loyal comrades, he battles through political wars and violent organizations to establish a new nation and restore order to failing villages. Armed with the devastating "Core of Darkness" and the "Hundred Strikes of Destruction," Ren faces bloodthirsty leaders in duels that shake the very heavens. It is a saga of survival and ambition, where friends risk everything to build a future amidst silent betrayals and overwhelming power. ​Would you like me to generate a high-quality manga-style image of Ren using his "Core of Darkness" based on this description?

Them... Those... People you'd deal with at work: - co-workers - bosses - customers Essentially, anybody you need to be around who could make things more difficult then they need to be. This is a blog-ish story accounting my personal experiences, along with the odd special chapter doccumenting the accounts of people I know. Though seemingly bleak, the aim of this series is to share and hopefully give people a bit of a boost, something to relate their experience to & know they're not odd or alone. Those around me & myself rant about work, some people don't have this luxury. I have had apparantely contrasting work & am able to more empathetic to specific sectors I knew little of before hand - so you'll likely find a work rant just for you. ;) Updated when stuff happens, I remember stuff or someone's told me stuff.
