Nothing much new to report, but I felt obligated to write something because I like the new layout and I haven’t been using it nearly enough.
Currently I am:
- studying for my next exam, semi-studiously. Actually I have been very studious about it, except on my study day (which was today), most of which I spent unconscious and in bed despite the heroic feat of getting up at 9.15am
- trying to recover from being overworked and hoping the madness has ended
- getting tired more quickly at the gym than I used to (or maybe getting lazier)
- losing my inspiration to cook new dishes and settling for pasta instead (although I try to make up for this by putting in lots of vegetables in a creative manner!)
- embarking on new anime without having finished any of the 30 or so that I’m halfway through
- lamenting the end of peach season and the loss of my white peaches, which, I read on some sign in some grocery store somewhere, are the closest thing to ambrosia on earth (and you better believe it). Blueberries are also going out of season. You know what’s in season? Apples. Fricking apples. Who the heck needs apples to be in season?? There’re apples around all the effin time!! Apples are apples are apples, why do we need 20 different kinds crowding up the grocery store aisles?? Bleargh.
Meatspin also changed up the wordpress interface, so now typing is much more pleasant due to the nice new font. Maybe this will inspire me to write more about my uninspiring life! For now I am heading to Au Coquelet for a cup of green tea and to learn about multiemployer plans in critical funding status. I know, $1.90 and I sit there for 2 hours, it’s one of the many things that make me feel like a sinner.
On my flight back from New Jersey I ate half a Kit Kat bar and left my trash in the seat pocket. When the flight attendants came by collecting trash I considered (more than once) reaching into the seat pocket and disposing of my Kit Kat trash. But I didn’t, mostly because I hate trying to get the attention of the flight attendants and failing (most flight attendants are, ironically, not very attentive). I didn’t feel totally good about it, but I figured that when they clean out the plane for the next flight, they have to go through all the seat pockets anyway for security reasons.
So I get off the plane, and I’m trying to pass time at baggage claim while my luggage makes it to the carousel. I reach into my backpack for my fantasy novel of the moment, and find to my dismay that it is missing because – guess what? I’d left it in the seat pocket.

Talk about poetic justice. I’m never doing anything against my conscience ever again. =(
Got tired of the old purple flowers and Spanish comment page. I like the look of this one, all nice and clean. The only thing I had a problem with was that the font for the calendar was in size 12 Times New Roman, so I got rid of it. Hurray!
I am at work and am billing this blogging time to my most hated client again. Today the consultant I work with on this client (who’s the funniest guy ever cos he’s all meek and quiet but occasionally makes comments such as the following) said about the consultant from the other department who’s running this project, ‘He needs to take a tranquiliser’. And he couldn’t be more right. Seriously, the guy goes ape shit over every little thing that goes wrong. Dude, just chill ok, no one’s going to die or anything. How can you be 60 and act like that?? Jeez.
The people you work with on a project makes such a ridiculous amount of difference. The other night I stayed in the office till 1.30 with 3 other people working on another client, and came in at 8am the next day. We’ve frequently pulled things like this for this particular client, and I didn’t even mind it. After 11pm or so the delirium sets in and suddenly everything becomes a source of amusement, and it kinda ends up feeling like you’re just hanging out with your friends. I’m probably the only freak who felt this way about that late night, but it’s things like this that makes everything else feel worthwhile.
