Iknow, I know, it was fun whilst it lasted, but it seems the novelty has worn off and we just have to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Life? What of it? Take one second at a time and see how things pan out. That&#8217;s my philosophy. Plan ahead, make contingencies but don&#8217;t worry if things don&#8217;t go to plan as that&#8217;s just the way of the Universe.<\/p>\n<p>Work? Wassat? It&#8217;s something you do to get the main societal tool, money. That&#8217;s right, money is merely a tool, like a spanner or screwdriver. Without it you can&#8217;t do a great deal, however, have too much and it wieghs you down and you find that you can nolonger carry your toolbox.<\/p>\n<p>The other purpose of work, which will surprise a lot of people, is to allow you to have more of a social life than you&#8217;d otherwise have. After all, you spend a lot of time at work, you spend that time with people with whom you have to interact socially, all be it in a strange setting.<\/p>\n<p>So, what has this to do with me? Well, not a lot actually. I just thought I&#8217;d write something different this time rather than a list of things I&#8217;ve done or not done. A change is as good as a rest, they say.. well, unless you&#8217;re a couch potatoe who&#8217;s been forced to do commando training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those fans of bodily secretions will be disappointed with this posting as I&#8217;m not going to say anything about them whatsoever.
