Okay. This is a post on STRESSURE. Life is so up and down and it’s apparently impossible to have an amazing day/evening without the next day/evening being, to put it mildly, fucking sucky.
I posted a while ago on taking on too much and what an amazing thing that was, and apparently (again) I was SEVERELY mistaken with regards to how much I could actually do. I’m pretty sure it could have worked out, except Murphy (inventor of this stupid thing), went and made something go wrong in every project that I have so it all got delayed and now everything needs to be done AT THE SAME TIME.
EJOFIAWEJOFIAQQAA.
Maybe time management is my problem, or, digging deeper, the lack of care! I put everything I have into something until the next thing comes on, and when that happens the original things begin to bore me and really, how much can you care about something that doesn’t excite you?
Normally, I make like an ostrich and put my head in the sand and just deal with the consequences when I have to, but apparently I’ve become an Adult somewhere in between and am now actually trying to get it all together and deal with everything head on. Unfortunately, doing this is leaving me feeling like a Smart Car. They’re cute, so it would be okay, except I feel like one that is currently colliding head-on with a 2893084230-ton lorry.
This image is simply a representation of what can happen to a Smart Car in a similar (but nowhere near as rough) circumstance. Please empathise with my lorry situation.
Luckily, I am feeling like that Smart Car in just a figurative sense. As long as I continue being a workaholic until this is all over I should still be alive! Anyway, the point of this post was to implore you to be patient and let you know I’ll be around more after the next two weeks of hell are over, and hopefully sooner!
Peeeeeeeeeeeeace! :)
P.S. I also just found out my cousin is pregnant and I’m going to be an aunt… again! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (See, good comes with the bad!)
In no particular order:
1) Murphy (from the law) was an actual person, and there’s significant dispute as to whether he actually coin the phrase. More to the point, the dispute is whether the phrase was constructed to mock his poor engineering ability, or whether he uttered the phrase to insult his assistant. Some people give credit to NASA’s low injury rate during testing for the Mercury and Apollo projects due the engineers considering Murphy’s Law during planning of any experiments involving life.
2) Have you read the recent studies suggesting that people have a finite capacity for willpower? There’s both fascinating psychological and neuro-biological (relating glucose concentration in the certain brain areas)papers out there. Would make for an interesting read, if you could focus long enough to read it. Long story short- to focus harder, practice delaying gratification and eat better, more balanced meals.
3) You’ve been here long enough to say “Truck” instead of “Lorry”.
