Curiousect

Hi,  It has been a while, but Timesheets (and Curiousect) is back ! This episode sets off a theme of episodes called - Repository of Mistakes.  Whenever you'll come across an episode from this theme, you'll listen to stories of mistakes people made in their workplaces.  In this one, you'll listen to my story and the initial struggles I faced to get through the first few months of my job and the kind of mistakes I made.  Give it a listen ! Don't forget to spread the word !

Hi ! This is the 1st episode of Timesheets, the series where I document journeys into adulthood and make entries about navigating through this odd experience.  I thought of launching the series with an episode dedicated to commencements and new beginnings. I'm on a different path in my life and I thought it would be helpful to revisit some of these speeches. This episode consists of my favourite speeches, some thoughts and advice which I'll probably keep forgetting but I must keep in mind.  Do give it a listen !
