G is for Gaynor

That is me! Gaynor Paynter, the owner of this business, the one who together with Alison Fourie started TAVASA, and the one who also runs the Pop Speaking site.

By now many of you have been following my blogs while I complete this challenge and I thought I'd like to share a little something about myself.

So then.. here it is!

My name is Gaynor Paynter and I'm the owner of my own transcription business. I'm a mom of two teenage boys, and a wife. I live in South Africa but believe that with the internet the world is our oyster. I've always had a fascination with popular culture, the stars, the media, and celebdom in general. I'm also kinda retro so a lot of stuff you'll see here will come from years gone by, but I appreciate the talents and qualities of today's celebs too. I co present on a radio show at Radio Today Johannesburg, and you should check it out cos we've got some awesome guests lined up. In my spare time, I'm a wannabe novelist. I've got a heart and mind for community and I serve on my Ward Committee. This is the reason why from time to time you're gonna see some causes mentioned and supported on here. I believe we must use the resources we have to do whatever good we can. And I run my own transcription business - I've been doing it since 2005. It's had its ups and downs, that's for sure. I've flirted with the idea of going back to the office and went back to one for a month in 2012. It didn't work. I never worked well in an office. I like to call my own shots and do my own thing. And I find that my ideas and the boss' clash and we don't work that well together. LOL. Besides, I like what I do. I like the variety of the daily tasks I do. For example, today I've worked on a project about Oliver Tambo, typed up an arbitration report and now I'm busy typing a religious book. I'm a mish mash of everything. I'm interested in everything, I find that most things have something to like about them.
