Sure! Why not! Let’s see if I remember how to do this. Oh yeah, it’s not that hard. I just type the randomness that’s floating inside my head…

What? I haven’t written any proper proper posts in a whole month? Then surely there must be a million things that have happened to me. Now let me think. Oh yeah, how about - nah that’s not interesting. Oh, how about when - nah not interesting either. However, there was this one time at band camp - nah I’m only joking; I never went to band camp.

You know what? I think I may have forgotten how to do this! I think all I’m any good at right now is posting silly, useless, no-substance, facts about myself. In fact, I don’t think I’m good at that either. Sometimes just thinking of a “fact” like that takes a lot of effort and to demonstrate that I posted about my favourite colour! A one word post! Even the title was longer than the post for crying out loud!

Wow, I almost got caught in a circle of freak-out there.

What I wanted to write about a few days ago was trouble at work. Yes, I was in a little bit of trouble for being late one too many times in the morning. It didn’t get too serious of course because I took immediate action. However, I got a little worried. I knew what was causing my lateness. It was so obvious it was pure laziness and the fact that I am not a morning person also contributed to this. To make a long story short, I got told off by one of my colleagues (who’s a little higher than me on food chain in there and also a vegetarian - talk about irony, huh?) but after that things got extremely better.

I had my three month review with the manager as well last week and he seemed very pleased with my work so far. After that meeting I somehow became a person I hadn’t been in a while. I was extremely active and a lot more jolly. It wasn’t the meeting that caused this though, I think that subconsciously I was blowing off steam for not being active enough and being stuck in a chair doing things that were a little too mundane for my liking. I know that I am an active kind of guy when it comes to work and I like a panic session every now and then. I like to panic and worry and run around trying to solve problems while trying to juggle a coffee mug, a cigarette, a notepad, a pen and my mind. I like that feeling I get when everything has been going to hell and I manage to somehow work out at least a satisfactory solution which saves the day. (Why is the mighty mouse theme song playing in my head all of the sudden?)

During that meeting they assigned me with a new role in the company which involves a lot more running around, panicking and quite possibly juggling a few too many things at once. Not that I don’t enjoy that. With the right amount of caffeine I turn into one of the best multitaskers out there. One slight problem here: When I reach that hyper state I need the others around me to be in the same state too. Otherwise I get a little frustrated and sometimes a little mean. Let’s see if they’ll be able to keep up with me at work.
