A random quiz
You talked to an ex today, correct?
Nope, not today. Is trust a big issue for you? Of course. In the past it has been broken and so now it is important to let trust grow. What are you excited for? I’m excited about going back to Cheltenham. Quite keen to see what this week will hold for me. What happened tonight? Not much. Which is how I like it on a Sunday. Do you think it’s disgusting...

10 Question in one big thing
One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
1. I am not interesting playing your games any more. The way you treat others is shameful, everything you say is without thought and you made my life a living hell. I am glad to not call you my friend. You need to learn what a friendship actually is.
2. I occasionally think of how we parted ways and I do regret it. I hope you...

My Dissertation has been Decided
Despite being a Public Relations student, understanding the core foundations of the field and even having work experience and fully fledged jobs as a consultant I still consider myself to be an amateur. A vocational degree is traditionally not meant to be as academic compared to perhaps psychology or law degrees but the industry of PR changes so rapidly that academia acts as the foundation.
It...

The Simple Life
The storm rolled over the mountains and made its greeting upon our little town just outside of Perpignan. It is now late into the evening and the streets outside are quiet and cool. To be considered a welcomed reprieve from the heat of the day. The torrents of water which ran through the streets are now stilled, to be evaporated into the evening air which has created a damp, making the bright...

No doubt in my mind. HTC mobile with Windows Phone 7 will make me move from the iPhone.

It is fair to say that this news has made my day so far. Although the employee base isn’t as big as the article says. Most people who work at Microsoft seem to be contractors and so will probably not be ligible for Windows Phone 7. Looking forward to getting my device though.

Radio Dilemma
I’m on my lunch break and I am plagued with a few dilemmas in my mind. Inevitable issues which I should have foreseen now that I am an employee at Microsoft but I think valid for public opinion, your opinion. Remember that everything written here are my own views and not attached to Microsoft.
This morning I got a pleasant phone call from one of the larger BBC Radio Stations in London. Again they...

I have only gone a few days without writing and yet it feels like a lifetime since the creative part of my brain has had a good hiding. The longer you study at University the more you begin to realise how silly some aspects of the modules are. For instance, as part of my placement year I am required to either maintain a diary or blog detailing each week.
Unfortunately this task is almost...

1st Day at Microsoft
I like Tumblr. So I have decided to write about my Microsoft ventures here for the time being. For some reason the font style and image placement on my own website (http://www.mikewhite.co.uk) seems to be experiencing a few problems.
Although I have officially spent a week with Microsoft, I am currently on my first day at work. As is to be expected with a new job the workload could be more. I have...

Day 03 - The five songs you would have with you on...
Slightly delayed due to work at Microsoft…
Tim Minchin – Some people have it worse (to remind me that things could be worse)
Muse – Thoughts of a Dying Atheist (Seems suiting)
Sydonia – Life in a Cup (A peaceful, thoughtful song from an Australian band)
Stephen Lynch – Waiting (To make sure I never lose my sense of humour)
Annihilator – Ultra-Motion (It is just a brilliant song that keeps...

Day 02 - Something that inspires you
It is difficult to list all the inspirations I have in my life. There are so many to choose from but for the sake of this post I shall just choose the one.
Writings by George Orwell are captivating. Whilst his most popular works such as Animal Farm and 1984 are great pieces – I gain far more pleasure from reading his essays. If you have some time I recommend reading “Why I Write” and “Shooting an...

Day 01 - Guilty Pleasure
The most peculiar of guilty pleasures always seem to surround one’s childhood. My particular guilty pleasure involved my dad’s handkerchiefs when I was around 5 years old. As a child I found that teddy wasn’t usually enough and so, unexplainably, sleep came to me by my ‘little bits’. Little bits were simply a handkerchief cut into 6 long stripes and then tied in knots. One of my parents would then...
