I have a confession to make.
I am a language snob. Unless the writer is someone I know personally, bad writing sends me running. Or squawking. If I cannot comprehend a paragraph, not because it's been written GGMarquez-Autumn of the Patriarch-style but because it is fragmented, incoherent, or just downright rubbishy, I'll close the page and never go back. Okay, I might open it again once in a while to see if it's still bad but then I'll shudder and kick myself again.
There really isn't a point to this post, I just felt like complaining.

Oh, and S offered to pick me up from the airport when I arrive on the 13th. I don't know. April is a day away and it's making me fidgety.

whatever. time to scour the web for information again.

it's done! and it's taking 5 minutes for the report to get sent through gmail

musical chairs

My dogs treat me like a piece of furniture. One walks over me repeatedly - back and forth and back and forth again - before settling his heavy ass on me if I'm sitting on the floor. Just now both of them tried to climb onto my lap at the same time, while I was seated on a chair, working on my laptop.

I don't think I'll be sleeping much tonight. 35 more pages to go before I can compile the whole damn report and arrange and edit it.

Also, I just turned down a job offer from the first job and interview I went for. It would be more sane, but it still sounds boring. And they took what, a month? to get back to me. Harumph.

Also, I love the way the rain smells grassy and damp and heavy :)

gargle blah poo

i take it back >(
see I was just about done at 7 when they sent me an urgently needed 10 page document - 'can you handle this?'
like i'm going to say no!
blargh
i don't like not having the time to shower and eat!!

hustle

I'm happiest when I have a tonne of work to do and deadlines to meet. Unfortunate, but true sometimes.
Today I have:
the usual media coverage
2 reports in Indonesian to translate, edit and restructure
and then, when all that is done, research! corporate dirt-digging! fun :)

in passing

1. I'm really looking forward to April.
I got an email from Duncan about attending my graduation ceremony and it made me miss the smallest things about Sydney.

2. Does last week count as a seven day week?
It sure felt like it. And I know I can expect more of the same this week.

3. I actually enjoy the info-digging thing
so long as I don't think about the ethical aspect of it.
