I can't believe it's almost the end of January. The workweeks have been flying by and I've spent most of my weekends in my PJs reading and doing blockwords. Bliss. For those of us that work for someone, it's also payday weekend. But remember February is longer this year because it's a Leap Year. If you're old fashioned and in a heterosexual relationship, apparently it is…

I'm not even sure why I was concerned, I've not played the games or read the books but being a video game enthusiast I was obviously aware…
If I find a song I like it will be played on repeat until the mood passes. I also usually have one song on repeat if I'm listening to music while working. I often get my car-aoke on and this year while belting out I Don't Care by Ed Sheeren & Justin Bieber (don't judge) a colleague hooted at me and tried to get my attention.…
My name is Sam, though I'm also known as Tech Girl. I'm an esports host and shoutcaster. I work around the world on rad esports competitions. I've worked on PUBG Europe League, Overwatch Contenders and a bunch of fun Nintendo Europe events. I also create content around tech, gaming and esports. Links to all my various platforms are here on the blog. You can find out more in the about section (you'll also find ways to contact me there). I'm a giant nerd and secretly wish I could be one of the X-Men!
