Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans

18 12 2011

While patiently waiting to become a real person again I have found myself doing all sorts of things to bide my time and distract me from the realities of finding a job in this disastrous economy.

Clearly blogging has not been one of these. My Occasionally Genius Sister asked me why I wasn’t keeping up my blog and my answer was sure what on earth would I write about?. I suppose I could blog about how I’ve become an expert on daytime television or my unlikely chats with the postman. Would anyone be remotely interested in these, or how I discovered the loveliest lady on earth working in the supermarket. My engineering of strategic queuing to ensure I’m at her checkout is something I’m certain would not make for engaging reading. Maybe I should ask her to be a guest writer instead…

But now my patience for watching other people buying property in the country or singing bad karaoke in the hope of being famous has worn desperately thin. And in truth I have been doing other things, unremarkable though they are. So this week I’ll attempt a roundup of these activities. When you start shaking with desperation at the tedium let me know and I’ll point you towards the week’s finest afternoon television extravaganza.

Oh I knew the tedium oh so well. Other highlights include cutting out split ends, deciding what to make for lunch, deciding what to make for dinner and debating the life issues of the cast of Home and Away as if they were real people. Some or all of these may also apply to you.

Missed you Conor – and your writing is never tedious. Ever. Write about those you meet (like I do at times) changing bits of the info to protect their anonymity, of course.
And you’ve had such a fantastic year behind you. i talked to one of my bros yesterday and times are very dismal in Ireland but the rebirth will be awesome. And I’m not talking economy.

They don. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the rearrangement
of pecuniary possessions over time, between the lender and the borrower.

The borrowers have to log on to the lenders site and have to fill in the loan
application form and must surrender the same to the lender.
