Long Weekend

I remember as a sales person having to work on long weekends and most public holidays, ironic it is now, that I am not allowed to work them by company policy.

So my weekend so far has involved a computer game, that I have played relatively non-stop since 13:00 yesterday, it is now 22:20 local time the day after.

And, I can do it again tomorrow (Sunday, and the day after that).

Yes, it has been a waste of my life.

However, I know that If I become marooned on an island, the first thing I should do is build a farm, then stock pile some wood, and finally find some metal ore.

If I can figure out how to make a granary, timber mill and smelter the resources that I am extracting will be more productive on their returns.

Marooned on an island, I could even build tanks, airplanes, houses, and even a wonder.

I hope that there is in fact some kind of skill involved with PC games. If not, oh well - Fuck it.

Peace.

THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP AND ITS 03:45

1. Use Adobe Photoshop and make strange imagery, then marvel at your creation, knowing that when you do fall asleep and wake up it will probably look like arse to you.

2. Drink Alcohol and hope you pass out, thereby at least getting some kind of feign sleep

3. Smoke cigarettes and hope for either death or sleep, one will come eventually and the other will come regardless. These are actually stimulants and defeats the purpose of attaining sleep.

4. Surf the net and look at pictures of anthropocentric pets, download them and make a collage in photoshop.

5. Take some IQ tests online and watch as your score drops consistently as you repeat the same test over and over in order to add depression to your insomnia. I made it to 104 from 134.

6. Type stupid things in to the Google image search.

7. Find your cat/dog/other animal and wake it up to share in your misery.

8. Stare at the carpet and see if you can divine the future from it like Nostradamus.

9. Figure out when you are going to die by going to the deathclock web site.

10. Realise that it is now 04:45 and that today at work, it's going to suck.

Can't Sleep!

So I made this...

REASONS FOR STAFF BEING LATE TO WORK

1. I was helping my friend move to a new apartment

2. I forgot that I was working

3. I thought it was yesterday and that is my day off

4. Phone call: "I'm sick and can't come in" (music and laughter in background)

5. My astrology in the newspaper said it was an unlucky day

6. Phone call: "I'm on holiday today" Reply: "That was last month"

7. "My train hasn't come yet" (Why are you calling from home?)

8. "I told you I don't like this shift, it makes me unhappy"

9. "I'm really ill" (Sound of coughing and water being poured in to a sink)

10. "Sorry I forgot the time, be there soon" (Walks in to shop in competition uniform - You also forgot to tell me you had a part time job across the road with the competition as well huh)
