    Can I get paid?

    Thanks Chris. I've sorted out the time sheet today. The administrators come in tomorrow, so we'll see what's happening then. If the company stays open, then I'm just going to book as much time off as I can so I'm not risking too much time, and see how it pans out. If it does get closed down...

    Can I get paid?

    I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but here goes. A couple of weeks ago, I started working part time at a local business, only today while in the middle of my shift, someone told me the company had gone into administration a couple of days ago. Last month, I never filled in a time...

    Time and change.

    Not necessarily. 'Matter' came from the Big Bang (theoretically). Some physicists even hold that with the big bang came time and space, so before this, nothing existed. Nothing. This is really hard to comprehend, but then again, so is absolute time. So, if the Big Bang caused all matter, time...

    Time and change.

    Think back to when Blair was elected in '97. This is X minutes in the past. In 2 minutes it'll be X+2 minutes in the past. It's position in time seems to be constantly changing. So if all change stopped, this changing (things becoming more past) would have to also stop, otherwise there is still...

    Thanks Stefan! That looks like a great blog- similar to Springwise, so definitely worthy of a place in my bookmarks :D

    Time and change.

    Okay. Here goes. Time, it seems, is a relation between changes. It is the thing that allows us to measure these changes and their rate. So, the way we tell the difference between one moment and another moment, is that something has changed. Otherwise we would not know that time had passed. Think...

    Time and change.

    So, do the clocks go forward in the very early hours of the 29th? Or on the night of the 29th? I always get confused with when to turn them forward/back. But thank you for letting me know! I have to catch a flight that morning. No matter how many years I'm alive it'll always be a mystery to me. :|

    Time and change.

    By 'time', I mean some universal dimension that doesn't have a 'figure', but still continues to 'flow' or things flow through it. So, not as in the time a watch shows. It's been scientificaly shown that time is the fouth dimension (you'll have to consult the theoretical physicists to discuss...

    Time and change.

    I sometimes sit with a cow-like stare and wonder- often in awe- at the world, its workings, my workings, and every so often, the workings of others. A few weeks ago, my wondering topic turned to whether without any change in the universe, (that is, on any subatomic level whatsoever), can time...

    Twitter again......

    I sometimes have a sneaky peak at Stephen Fry's 'twitter', but that's as far as my experience of it stretches. I've just signed up though, so am hoping to soon be converted!

    Ready and Raring

    Nastily being put out of action for the past 5 months due injury has been- to put it politely- hell. But alas, I'm right as rain and back with a vengeance, with plenty of drive and motivation to get this ball, no, tombstone, rolling again. In a nutshell, I badly damaged my neck in a...

    Copywriters?

    Hi Steve, I understand what you're saying, but I think we're using different definitions of 'cliché'. Wikipedia sums up my idea of the word quite well: "a phrase, expression, or idea that has been overused to the point of losing its intended force or novelty, especially when at some time it...
