Time Capsule

On this day, 3rd April 2022, those of us living in Ireland get the chance to complete our Census form. For the first time, we can include comments in a time capsule section which will be opened in 100 years.

Coincidentally, I have my own time capsule today. Twenty years ago, long before I had a website or even knew what a blog was, I had something I wanted to get off my chest.

I was working as a temp in Sydney, Australia and I was not impressed with the level of respect shown in the workplace. Luckily for me, the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper had a column called The Heckler, a place where one could apply their wit to anything that made their blood boil.

So with a sprinkling of humour, I got my chance to have my say on 3rd April 2002.

I hope you enjoy reading my publishing debut and I hope things have changed for temporary office workers!
