Good Old Tom

Showed someone at work this the other day. They enjoyed it, and I thought it was time to honour again the man who came equal first in the state in media studies.

Dating my Laptop

With the absence of a girlfriend, tonight I have taken my laptop out on a very wonderful date. We are in terra-rossa a lovely if slightly expensive restaurant in Flinders Lane. The food here is rather good and the drinks list is most impressive.

Sadly though, as my laptop works with me we have ended up largely discussing work. We have made a few small breakthroughs as we often do when we meet outside the confines of the office. I think that we both prefer the informality of working outside of the office.

Stress

Stress, Stress, Stress,
Go away,
Come again another day.

I wish it was that simple.

Trying to work out what is my responsibility, what is my duty, what is useful for me to do, and what I should leave to others is so difficult. My core responsibilities at work are become quite onerous, and yet I am still wanting to do more, and do it more effectively. There is something about difficult times, and problems that tempts me to overstretch. I’m not sure how much more I can do, but I think I will try to do something more. Though not at the expense of my social life.
