五月雨式 (samidareshiki) is a phrase commonly used in Japanese business email. Someone might say to you 五月雨式で申し訳ございません.
Although it’s literally “sorry for the style of May rain,” it’s a way of apologizing for sending numerous emails back-to-back.

With every story you write, it's a ticket to another world – a stranger shares their background or expertise or opinion.
Then you share your (edited) words with an unknown audience.

I would like a job, that I can do with other people, something that uses my soft & hard skills, and my qualifications.
Anyone after a Gippsland-based, recently graduated journalist who is also a chef & has a business degree.
Someone just told me to put it out there so I am.
