Well, this is kinda... odd
Jan. 20th, 2002 12:09 pmYou people actually listen to me. Which is a combination of nice, that people think I have something to say and will obey my every request *grins*, and kinda strange, since I've never been someone anyone paid a huge amount of attention to. And no, I'm not being self-pitying or pathetic, that's the truth. At least once a week at work I'll find myself repeating (ad nauseum) what I've just said because no-one's paid the slightest bit of attention to it despite it's relevenace to whatever it is they're trying to do. So the sudden deluge of non-survey posts has been something of a pleasant surprise.
Hmm, wonder if I ask people to send me money whether that will work? ;)
Not a lot of posting from me, mainly because I spent pretty much the whole day yesterday in chat, which is always too damn distracting to do anything else. Yes, I know it's possible to multi-task, but I'm not especially good at it. Particularly when I have four people /msging me at once. One thing I miss about IRCle is the little alarm that used to ring every time someone /msged me - Snak is kinda half-arsed about it. Same with the new version of AIM - I missed my FarliChilde's departure because I didn't get the chime that tells me someone's talking to me. Sorry, love. :P
I fell asleep on the beanbag last night, waking at about 1.45am and stumbling off to bed feeling pretty blah. Slept in to close on 11am and then read for a bit - it's going to be 38 degrees Celsius here today, much too hot to do anything except lie around and drink water. A swim would be nice, but would involve way too much effort to get down to the pool - besides, it'll be full of kids divebombing each other. Now the shoulder's recovered (only a slight bruise now) I'm going to be swimming in the mornings again - I'm not cycling far enough to do any real good - before work. The pool's behind my workplace, so it's easy enough to manage.
Hrm, time for a shower, I think. And beta-reading today, since I have about three or four things to look at. Nice non-active, non-overheating stuff. ;)
