A little bit of everything

This "randomness" category is my doom. It encourages my laziness and my wandering mind and my inability to string together any sort of coherent text. A little piece of this, a little piece of that... who needs contents, style, consistency or anything that makes a text enjoyable or at least readable?

I am picking up some work people's habits as well... this whole hectic & restless thing. Constantly switching back and forth between windows, adding, editing, checking sth else in between, coming back and changing back, fidgeting about with mouse... I am not liking that. I am hectic enough as it is, never satisfied doing just one thing at a time. It's not good for my stomach ulcers I tell ya!

To be honest I am not sure if this job is good for me at all. First off I generally tend to get so worked up about negative things (stupid people included, of which we have many) that it's bound to make me feel really on edge a lot of the time, and secondly (and kinda relatedly) I'm probably gonna end up shouting at them cuz they annoy me so much. And get sacked or sth. Hmm. Ah well nevermind. I'll give it a try.

I listed my first ever item on eBay tonight. It was "5p day" today. I was very excited about this great step until Tay went "serious? I listed my 1st item when I was 13!" - thanks, spoil the fun for me will you. But he helped me lots with all the different options and other stuff, and of course he is also generally adorable... oh ok I will shut up.

I have been reading the Jean Améry book that squiZZ loved so much - I ordered it with my €5 voucher from Amazon.de. I may do an entry about it but I may not cuz the only person even mildly interested would be squiZZ I guess and I doubt he'd wanna know either cuz I don't agree much with Améry (of course).

However I have to say I really enjoy reading a book again that requires a little more mental effort. I barely read non-fiction unless it's academic and I ain't read academic since I finished my dissertation. I am actually taking notes and stuff. It's a bit pathetic in a way but it's also good, and I may just write sth about it just to use my grey matter again. I've also been helping Suha with a (techie, therefore kinda dull) translation and that too is kinda satisfying in that I need to use my brain. I don't want it to wither and die.

[...] Um yeah I started this entry hours ago and now I've lost the plot.. not that there ever was one, but I've lost inspiration anyway, so I'll just post it as is. Soon I will bed and then it's the weekend. This time next year I will be rich and careless and married to Mark and working for MI6.
