aumentou... so you get several entries tacked together.
The Lost Soul
Once upon a time, someone told me he was 'living for the weekend', which struck me at the time as pretentious. Personally I'm struggling to think of something to live for. The best I've come up with is that its probably better than dying, since dying probably involves the complete dissolution of self. And yes, my mood icon is correct. I am happy because I am off work. I'm ill you see. Fiendishly unwell. *coughs*
I'm bored. I dont want a holiday, I want a complete change. I want to live in a house where I dont feel guilty about using the shower because of leakage. I'd like to do a job that involves thought. Possibly even one that doesnt involve pointless form filling in. My work has now handed out WIP sheets that we have to fill in and account for every minute of our time. I dont know if its made us work faster, but its certainly made us more careful about filling in that little box called 'other' "oh yes, and I've just spent 3 minutes emailing people those batches, and 2 minutes filling in my WIP sheet, so thats 8 blobs (decimal time units, about 36 seconds) of other". My immediate boss is delighted - now that we are racking up other scores of 3 hours or so, she is saying we are doing far too many complicated queries that really arent our job - so she's trying to turn us even more into boring monkey job people.
It may be time to leave.
I want something fun to do. I want a long term plan that involves doing fun things. I also want a long term plan that involves doing physical things. I just tried my wights and feel startlingly under muscled.
Actually, I do have the long term plan, its just that the first stage of this plan is saving up loads of money. This stage of the plan does not involve any fun at all.
Ah bollocks to it. I'm going for lunch.
