Posted under Random & Growing up & Work
I was link hopping and ended up on this website, Identime (can’t remember the name of the site) which allows you to see what kind of info people can dreg up with just your email address.
Apparently I had uploaded pics on flickr (i seriously don’t remember) and my friendster acct is there for all to see. Luckily it’s a nice pic up, taken under flattering light in my not-so-fat period of the fish soup diet. Anyhoo, surprisingly enough, this blog does not appear. No wonder nobody visits la, cannot find it also.
(No, it has never occurred to me that the lack of visitors might also be because of my lack of blogging.)
I have thought of starting to blog again but now that I’ve started work it gets a bit iffy. While NUS was unlikely to go kick me out because of a blog entry unless I venture into defamation or what shit, I think my employers would have reason to monitor these things and sack me (at best) or sue me (at worst). No money.. don’t sue.
That brings us to a stalemate as (like most employed minons can tell you) there is no life beyond work. Dispel the idea that the money you get every month will pay for an exciting life. Sry to break it to you girlfriend but your life will revolve around nothing but work.
1. On a superfacial (and obvious) level, you can’t pon work like you could pon class. It’s just not done.
2. Even if you have the time to meet friends after work (if you don’t need to OT) you might not always have the energy. Plodding around in heels while shopping with the girls after a mind numbing day of emails is damn tiring. Old liao la…
3. Even if you have the time and the energy, the number of friends you would have accumulated over the years (At least 5 groups - pri, sec sch, jc, uni, poly, misc) would allow you to meet each group at most once a week (and that is nonwithstanding the other factors outlined above). You would spend most of the time giving updates which usually revolve around work (that bitch which totally made your day a living hell), and reminiscing about the past - when life was much better but so under appreciated by your past younger foolish selves. All this talk is necessary to upkeep the relationship just so that you guys don’t drift apart.
BUT, for those among you who have the energy, time, equally energetic and free friends who all share the same ZEST for an EXCITING and ADVENTUROUS life. Then good for you. You do not belong in MY group of lazy cynicism. My blog entries would probably depress you and serve as a potion to turn you into a cynical minion of the larger global workforce. Shoo! SHOO!! Run now while you still can and frolic around where there are green meadows and rainbows shooting out of the asses of unicorns.
*Disclaimer: The utter rubbish above is why I don’t blog often. I have nothing to say.
