Just another WordPress.com site. All posts by portaka1. Heaven in the south of Turkey. If you had to describe an idyllic hideaway destination, how would you describe it? Difficult to get to? Small, peaceful and with almost no tourists? A spectacular view of turquoise water from the dinner table? A banquet served al fresco. Each night by a local family, with local, organic produce? A bungalow surrounded by pomegranate trees, strawberry patches and pine trees, up high on a hill where the air is fresh?

The Haught guide to first impressions — Haught
http://haught.com.au/2015/07/28/the-haught-guide-to-first-impressions
Your best post - NOW! The Yarra Trams one. The Haught guide to first impressions. I started a new job a few years back and was unclear about what the expected office dress standard was. First impression anxiety kicked in and I ended up erring on the side of caution. I turned up on my first day in a tuxedo and tap shoes. I panicked just before disembarking from the lift and removed my cummerbund, which I thought might be considered showy. Before and wanted to to touch it). You can read the column – ...

http://haught.com.au/2012/11/04/benign-to-five-on-journeys
Your best post - NOW! The Yarra Trams one. The Haught guide to “journeys”. I don’t ask much from you, dear reader, so when I tell you today that I have a task for you, I’d appreciate it if you take it seriously, complete it assiduously and then report back in detail on your findings. Here’s the task. After reading this article, keep in mind the word “journey” and take note of every time someone uses it in the non-going-for-a-long-walk-holding-a-crooked-piece-of-wood sense. In the past few years I’ve hear...

ParentHaught: how to introduce your baby to the office — Haught
http://haught.com.au/2015/05/18/parenthaught-how-to-introduce-your-baby-to-the-office
Your best post - NOW! The Yarra Trams one. ParentHaught: how to introduce your baby to the office. Stork goes exceptionally well with coriander. Here’s the ParentHaught story so far:. I’m a father. A year ago, to this day, the stork came. It was 2.30pm on a Sunday. That evening we were cuddling a snowy-haired girl and eating stork for dinner. Well, you know how bad hospital food is. Anyway, barely a month had passed before colleagues began the inevitable bring-her-into-work campaign. TIP: The 19th centur...

The Famous Emails — Haught
http://haught.com.au/haught-emails
Your best post - NOW! The Yarra Trams one. The email that led to the undisputed greatest customer service response of all time. An email to the public transport operator of incomparable ineptitude. The email to social media leviathans and pathological algorithm changers, Facebook. The email to Microsoft exec Stephen Elop, who wrote what has become known as one of the worst emails in corporate history. The particularly nasty email to the worst ticketing system in the history of civilisation. The email to ...

http://haught.com.au/2012/09/06/benign-to-five-on-learnings
Your best post - NOW! The Yarra Trams one. The Haught guide to “learnings”. Image: Ben Tyers, 2014. Back in 2012, a very nice woman got in contact with me and asked if I wanted to write a weekly column in the MyCareer bit of. I screamed “Yes! 8221; very very loudly, before realising it was almost certainly a hoax. Turns out she was the section editor and wasn’t taking the piss. She asked me to write a column along the same lines as my blog, except with some connection to work and careers. I haven’t got t...

Me and My Girl. You are here: Home. EAT, DRINK AND PLAY! EAT, DRINK AND PLAY! December 9, 2015. Until now I have mainly featured kid-friendly places to eat, but recently a friend of mine suggested that I do a post for us big kids too. So here are some of my faves, mostly northside but trust me, it will be worth the travel across town. With nice little starters and super yum salads to accompany your pizza, the menu is really easy to navigate. It’s charming and cosy and ticks all the boxes for me, and I re...

The Haught guide to the word "strategic" — Haught
http://haught.com.au/2015/02/08/haught-guide-word-strategic
Your best post - NOW! The Yarra Trams one. The Haught guide to the word “strategic”. But we are wrong to sneer, for a panacea is theoretically possible. Indeed, it already exists. The corporate sector has known about it for at least a decade, and it takes the form, believe it or not, of a humble adjective. If a company tries to tell you about their partnership with another organisation, you’re within your rights to ask ‘Why should I care? 8217; But when they mention their ‘strategic partnership’ you have...

A love letter — Haught
http://haught.com.au/2015/06/07/a-love-letter
Your best post - NOW! The Yarra Trams one. I missed you yesterday. I missed you so much that my head ached. My body yearned for you and, without your gentle direction, my mind wandered. You are the warm promise that gets me up in the morning. You are the silken river flow that propels me through the delta of my morning and into the heaving, seething ocean waters of the the rest of the day. You are the earthy inspiration that allows me to endure while others fall away. You are post-apocalyptic cassowaries.
