Send My Conscience Home in a Taxi

Most of my recent entries seem to have been apologies for not posting more often. Er, so... Sorry for not posting more often. I really have been stupidly busy. Here are some of my many excuses:

There's an accursed project I'm working on in my cubicle, which refuses to go away. In fact, it more or less blew up in my face when I got back from overseas, and has caused me to (amongst other things) get to work at 5.30AM last Tuesday, also to work a number of 50 hour weeks, and to have members of the management very annoyed with me - sometimes unjustly.

I'm also studying "Management Perspectives", the second subject in my MBA. I'm finding it hard to fine the time to actually study, plus when I do, I find I can't study for more than about two and a half to three hours a day without my brain turning into pudding. I just can't push more information into it! I've been behind from the start - the subject actually started when I was in Switzerland. There's an assignment due in just over two weeks as well. So lots of things have been falling of my agenda - unfortunately most of them social engagements :-(

On top of which, I have to get my place into a presentable state for a house inspection for the middle of next week - which reminds me, I have to find a place to secret my cat. My usual place - my cousin's - doesn't work, because she's in Copenhagen for six months! Go figure.

And! I'm sort of house hunting, looks like Deb and I will be moving in together - more on that in a moment.

And.... I've been helping organise my toastmasters club contests, as well as planning to compete, which means I have to write two speeches...

So, all in all, I haven't been on Livejournal much of late. I have been twittering vigorously as usual (now over 7000 tweets!) if you want to really keep track of me :-)

Hmmmm... As I sit here in front of my computer, at home, much as I sat in front of my computer all day at work (er, doing not dissimilar things, played too much Facebook Scrabble today) I find myself wondering: why am I wasting my life like this?

I mean, how many Cat Macros does one need to look at? Or more to the point, how much of my life have I already wasted looking at cat macros, online comics, stumbling across web pages with stumble upon, updating my status on the hyperactive twitter etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

I'm going to spend some of the next few days a) getting off groups on LJ and b) cutting back the number of comics I get sent... And... Ah, I don't know... Stop wasting my life online. It's only been 13 years or so....!
