A New Year

It’s actually pretty well into Jan already, but I couldn’t come up with any other title.
Just bored I guess.

A Tarot card reader came to work the other day. She’s friends with one of the people who works here. Quite a few of us actually went in to get our cards read. It was pretty interesting on the whole. I had excellent cards, although she did tell me that I probably should have stuck with my original career choice. Which she followed up by saying that if I switch back, or want to learn anything new, I should make sure that I do before I turn 26, so I have quite a bit of time. And anyway, I’m not really sure how much I believe in this stuff. Not that I think its bogus or anything… no point in tempting fate right?

So, on the work front. Apparently my confirmation should come through soon, and even if it doesn’t, all changes will be applicable from this month. Which is fine by me. More on this later. Probably when things are a bit more settled and I can say more then suppositions.
We have a content team conference next week. We, the content teams from all over India, are all going to Chikmagalur on Thursday, for two days of presentations. We’ll be staying at the Taj, so once the presentations end at 6:30, I’m guessing a whole bunch of us are going to head straight for the pool.
Unless it’s cold.
Which, considering its Chikmagalur, I’m pretty sure it will be.
Not that I really mind. Swimming when its freezing is fun – just as long as you can go have a nice hot bath immediately after.

Ok, now I think I shall leave work… was only hanging around to put up a feature, which I have now done. So bye!

Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!

*jumping up and down in frustration*
I don’t know what’s wrong with me… I’ve got a weird version of writers block! Just cant seem to get the words out. Or rather… I’m STUCK!
Ok… sigh… let me explain. I have an article to write for work. Silly thing about Robbie Williams… but, for some unknown reason, I just cant get a handle on it! WHY!??
Gah… so my brief is basically, 700 words on Robbie. Make it current, make it snappy, use a lot of quotes, give the article a “Robbie” flavour. It should sound a bit like him. But… what is that exactly? I DON’T KNOW! I mean, sure, I do like some of Robbie’s stuff… and I guess I got to include info on Rudebox, since that’s the most current thing. But it cant be biographical! And I guess I’ve just gotten so used to writing these research papers for college, I don’t know what I’m doing here. Also, I think I’m suffering from a healthy, or un-healthy actually, since its stopping me form being able to write my article, which is producing a LOT of stress, amount of fear. Why? Well… I’m really scared I’m going to write crap, and they’re going to hate it. Which sucks. Coz now I cant write ANYTHING! Better to have bad work that can be fixed, then no work at all!
Which is why the frustration and jumping up and down.
Siiiiiigh… ok… now I’m going to take another shot at it. So ta-rah…

Sorry for the cliché

TGIF!
The day I’ve had can best be described in one word. Gak! Hehe…. Actually, it wasn’t that bad. Had quite a lot of work to do… But it’s only 4:30 and I’m all done. I would leave, but its storming. So I’m stuck here till it stops.
Hopefully that’s soon. I have a piano class to take at 6:30, and I don’t feel like cancelling, the kid missed last week too. But boy, I am not in the mood to teach a five year old. Usually I love it. They’re all so intelligent and they like learning, so it’s no hardship… but it also take a LOT of patience. Five year olds do not have a large attention span. There’s an understatement! It’s challenging to keep them interested, but it’s also really amusing.
On a totally different topic… I’m listening to my music library on shuffle. The strangest playlist is popping up. I just went from Hot Steppa to Boulevard of Broken dreams, and weirdly enough, it wasn’t that much of a leap. In fact, it was a pretty good segue.
Ok… now I’m going to go check on the rain. And if it’s stopped, then I shall leave.

Darn It!!

How come I can create new post and everything, but I can’t actually see my blog!?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!!! *jump up and down in frustration.*
It’s been a week, and it still claims “this page is not available"
When the heck is it going to be? Huh? When!?

Ok... so maybe I'm not a murderer

And also, I like the way this blog looks better then my other one.

Just posted a couple of poems up on that one. I created them a month or so ago, but only just got around to putting them online. May as well put ‘em up here too. Apologies to those who read the other one as well So here goes:

Sit Awhile
Sit awhile and think.
Sit and dream of all things,
That were, and are and will be.

Sit awhile and see.
See the thought flow,
Like the play of light upon a prism.
Many streams,
From one clear contemplation.

Sit awhile.
Life is only worth
Your well thought adaptation.


Destiny
I sleep,
In this unguarded moment,
The door is open
And you tiptoe in.

So maybe they’re just dreams.
Only wishful thinking
And not the destiny they seem.

But who’s to say?
Is there some science that could divine the truth?
Or will only time tell?
