My Favourite Apps (and why) | Blogust_08

August 8, 2016August 10, 2016 Matt MurleyNo Comments

Full disclosure, I’m an Android user. I was an iPhone user for many years, but around the time that iOS 7 came out I made the jump from Apple to Google. I regard iPhone as being more fancy, with Android being more utilitarian. And that works better for me. When using smartphones started becoming more indispensable, […]

We all have those things that irk us, grind our gears, make our blood boil, or our skin crawl. These can be big or small things, and we each have our own reasons that these things bug us, but here are mine. Bad grammar My parents are both teachers. Every once in a while, I […]

The Power of ‘No’ | Blogust_02

July 24, 2016August 5, 2016 Matt MurleyNo Comments

This is a topic that I’ve really wrestled with over the years, as saying ‘no’ is not something that comes easily to me. “Want to help me move?” Okay. “Can you take my shift?” No problem. “Can you pick me up at the airport?” What time? I don’t mind helping people out at all, except […]
