Day 26 - Bury Your Face in Work

I can't see, there's too much work in my eyes! A common tactic. You often hear about people obsessing with their job as a form of distraction after a critical life event. I wonder how many senior managers are purely just escapists. That isn't the path I'm going to follow, I'm capable of finding better distractions, however I am for a rare occasion glad for being relatively busy at work. Come to think of it, I think the saying is 'bury yourself in work', not 'your face'. I prefer face so I'm keeping it. It's counter-intuitive to label it 'work' but my to-do list of creative/silly projects has built up pretty quickly. I need to not think of it as work. This will cause problems. Why must I approach everything as a task rather than as fun? Equally I don't want to be that sort of cunt who re-brands everything to ameliorate life. "Let me just check my 'what amazing fun do I have the joy of loving today woohoo list!'". ...

Day 45 - Workarounds

DIY averse and incompetent, I resolve issues with indisputably incorrect workarounds. Next up I plan to cut up some dish-washing sponge and stick it to some double sided adhesive on my wall directly behind the nobs on top of my bedframe. Every time I lean back, the wood knocks into the wall. The slightest readjustment to get comfortable or having an itch and I knock to alert my neighbour about it. Apparently I need to tighten the screws on the bedframe but I'm liking this sponge idea. It should be better than my last solution - small bits of card blu-tac'd onto the nobs on the top of the bedframe. As you would expect, this did very little and yet I have left it this way for two years. Sponge is a step up. A technological advancement of engineering.  Once I have "achieved" this, all required work on my room is basically done and I will be once again free to do whatever it is I do with my time. Strong emphasis on the word "required", the room is far from perfe...

Day 10 - Repetition

"Round here, nothing seems to change. Same old thing every day. Just gets played and replayed in different ways" - The Streets Lying in tedium somewhere between a sinking feeling in my stomach and a disparaging eye roll, whilst being less impactful than either, sits my emotional response to almost every conversation. I used to hate small talk but now I get it. Big talk doesn't go anywhere other than raising cortisol and causing fall-outs, only for nothing to change anyway. But as much as I understand small-talk, that isn't to say I'm not also sick of it. It's equally repetitive.  "Tax the rich". "Are jaffa cakes a cake or a biscuit?" "Can you separate the artist from the art?" "Football vs Rugby". "Veganism vs vegetarianism vs pescatarianism vs eating meat". "It's not actually lead in pencils". "Israel v Palestine". "That period between Christmas and New Year is weird". "...
