Please, please, please let me never turn into a person who speaks lots of corporate drivel, with no words of value coming out of my mouth. Nor let me string together sentences as if they came out of a random phrase generator iphone app.
I pledge never to enjoy going to meetings to speak about meetings, or even consider subjecting someone else to this act. And I will never use the word "kimono", other than in a sentence about Japanese clothing.
I fear that spending a lot of time in a big corporation (or government) can do this to people, but I refuse to become a victim. I will maintain my sanity and continue to hold meaningful conversations without the need of a laser pointer and PowerPoint presentation, in order to get things done.

People. We are self-obsessed and frustrating. But let's face it, the world would be a pretty boring place without us. So what can a thirty-something tell you about the world? Probably not a lot. But I can share with you the lessons I am learning every day about people's mastery and stupidity... but mostly stupidity. This is the world according to Imelda.

About Me
- Imelda
- I was born in the South East of England, in a town where people go to retire, play bingo and sell cattle. I then escaped to the North, well actually the Midlands (but anything north of London was considered north back then), before settling in the Home Counties for a few years. I now live on the West Coast of North America where the slogan of our community is "Keep Portland Weird". Says it all really. I work in Marketing (lovingly referred to as the T-shirt department) where I try to promote products to engineers without them knowing.
