I’m supposed to be really busy today and here I am writing my Blog. We can all see how dedicated to my work I am. Never mind, its only 9:30 so I still have about ten hours of work ahead of me and (I reason to myself) once I’ve got this Blog out of the way I wont feel like I have to write for it anymore so I can concentrate on work a whole lot better.
The lies we tell ourselves to do exactly what we want to.
Life update: So it looks like I’ll be moving over to another department of Philips where I’ll be writing technical manuals. Wow. I hear you guys all gasping and growing yellow around the gills in Jealousy. (Big J). That, of course, has always been my dream job. Oh well, at least it pays me money and money (if you ignore swimming) is the only way I’ll manage to get out of this god forsaken place. (Its not really that bad (oh yes it is))
Money, funny little thing that, I bet when they invented that back in the stone ages they never imagined it would end up ruling everyone’s lives. ‘Hey wouldn’t it be useful if we recorded down what you owe me and then I pay you back when my sheep’s wool comes in?’ ‘Yeah, ok’. How we now all wish that that second bugger had said ‘get lost you cheap twat, no sheep’s wool means no deal!’ I guess it must have sounded like a good idea at the time.
Liana has been doing a lot of Zen like mediation on her Blog. Trying to determine whether she is putting too many details on there, making it too personal, considering how many gits are out there yankin’ off on her stories (What, don’t believe me? There are! I’ve seen them! Every time my colleagues go to lunch and I’m alone in the office…). She worries that she might be revealing too much of herself. I don’t think there’s a problem there, she keeps her stuff pretty low profile but it did get me to think about the crap I put up here.
What am I really telling about myself besides the obvious (i.e. I should be shot as it would do the world and me a favour, it being a mercy killing and all). I decided that it wasn’t much. First off, my grammar is probably so off that nobody grasps what I’m trying to say (and that’s ignoring the fact that I generally don’t know what I’m trying to say) and secondly, since I utilise no smilies, or other ‘emoticons’ I imagine nobody has any idea when I’m serious or not. Something I’ll be able to use in my own self defence in later years (let me out! I didn’t mean it!).
I guess there is a definite advantage to writing whatever strange thoughts pass through my anal passage.
Oh yeah, I was supposed to give more life updates. Oh well, this entry is already carrying on a bit, better just let it trail away and die somewhere alone and misirable ......................... (this is it trailing away) ................................... (Just a little more) ............................. (argh!!!!!)...
