Le blog itinérant: feeling down - désabusée
http://blogitinerant.blogspot.com/2015/07/feeling-down-desabusee.html
Il est passé par ici, il repassera par là. Dimanche 5 juillet 2015. Feeling down - désabusée. J'en arrive à questionner mes raisons d'avoir voulu travailler en ESAT, mis à part la paie. Je commence à me demander si je veux vraiment y aller ou si je me persuade d'y aller parce que c'est ce que la société veut de moi, être le bon petit soldat qui a la possibilité de travailler et d'être productif et donc y va? Libellés : me myself and I. 5 juillet 2015 à 22:55. Have you talked to a counsellor? Hi Ill read ...

Long interview with Jonah Peretti: worth the time — Ophélie Lechat
http://ophelielechat.com/blog/long-interview-with-jonah-peretti-worth-the-time
Long interview with Jonah Peretti: worth the time. It started out as a joke: "Hey, maybe we should publish more lists." Then it became a cliché: "Of course, lists always do well." And now it's an obsession of mine: what is BuzzFeed doing? How can I do more of it? They have a hundred times more people than we do what can we learn from their research? With BuzzFeed founder Jonah Peretti, over on Medium, was published while I was on an electronic hiatus. I'm so glad it popped up on my radar. July 8, 2014.

Stay scared. — Ophélie Lechat
http://ophelielechat.com/blog/stay-scared
I now work in a field where fearlessness is prized, perhaps even more than in reporting. Doubt is the enemy. Self-confidence, even self-righteousness, is something to aspire to. I get it: often times all signs point to you being wrong, until suddenly you're right. I still shake a little bit with fear when I hit "publish" on a blog post. I get positively nauseous when sending a newsletter to 103,000 people, if only for a second. That's a good thing. May 7, 2013. May 7, 2013.

That religious impulse — Ophélie Lechat
http://ophelielechat.com/blog/that-religious-impulse
A pedestrian was hit by a car and left for dead on our block last night. Sad day on Clarendon street. #melbourne #thornbury. 4am knock on the door. I think I'm dreaming, then think it's morning and someone's trying to sell us something, then hear the cops outside. I get up and open the door. He wants to know if we heard anything. There was an incident a little while ago. We both fell asleep early, didn't hear anything, what's going on? A woman was hit by a car and left for dead. It's something to do, in ...

Good Things Ahead — Ophélie Lechat
http://ophelielechat.com/blog/good-things-ahead
Two years ago, J. and I had just moved to Melbourne. I was still freelancing, scraping together rent money from multiple writing, translation, and video description. Contracts. In November of that year, I randomly met Leni. At an event, and started working at Flippa. Shortly after. It was, in one word, luck. This week is my last week at Flippa as of Monday, I'll be working at SitePoint. Get to add my voice to the mix. Humbled. I'm looking forward to it. Good things ahead. September 17, 2013.

Vacation! — Ophélie Lechat
http://ophelielechat.com/blog/vacation
Spending the day on a boat. And I spent a week driving from beautiful Airlie Beach, Queensland, to equally beautiful Byron Bay, New South Wales. I've been known to not really take vacations. Every trip I took while I worked at Flippa was, at least in part, a business trip (to a conference, to a meetup, working remotely). Even on true days off, I check email constantly. This time, I gave up on my inbox by Tuesday. Earlier today, I noticed an especially good article ( this one. My former guilt at taking ti...

I Un-Installed Facebook From My Phone — Ophélie Lechat
http://ophelielechat.com/blog/i-un-installed-facebook-from-my-phone
I Un-Installed Facebook From My Phone. I am not an early-morning person, especially in winter,. In Melbourne winter. When the sun doesn't rise until past 7:30am, and our flimsy wall heater just isn't cutting it, I'm overcome by waves of nausea, crazy-high amounts of stress, and a desire to stay buried under the covers. So I've removed it from my phone. Thankfully, Fb Messenger (the default way of communicating in my social group, though I wish we'd go back to email! And tagged with lifestyle.

Pretty powerful — Ophélie Lechat
http://ophelielechat.com/blog/pretty-powerful
My sister, my mother and I at my wedding. My sister, my mother and I at my wedding. I don't want my girls to be children who are perfect and then, when they start to feel like women, they remember how I thought of myself as ugly and so they will be ugly too. They will get older and their breasts will lose their shape and they will hate their bodies, because that's what women do. That's what mommy did. I've started telling my daughters I'm beautiful.

The Great Commenting Experiment — Ophélie Lechat
http://ophelielechat.com/blog/the-great-commenting-experiment
The Great Commenting Experiment. There's so much else to do! All this was fine until I started running a decent content blog (no, I don't mean this one - I mean the Flippa Blog. Then, comments became part of my tracked metrics, and a boatload of comments overnight could make my day. Even as social media grows in importance (and yes, I'm still a huge fan of Google Plus for conversations! That's had three excellent side effects:. What's your philosophy when it comes to blog comments? May 24, 2013.
