Let's Start Over, Shall We?

For all intents and purposes I shall treat this period of my life as a new year, i.e. fresh starts and a new lease on life. Exactly why, I cannot tell you. Yet. Because in the future we might get drunk together and I would feel mushy and decide drunkenly that you are worth sharing my feelings with and then I will inadvertently tell you about that part of my life, and then the next morning I would totally regret it. But because I have pride I will try my damnedest to be good friends with you so I can justify telling you the secret.

Not that ever happened. Yet.

I realized I skipped August, but you'll have to forgive me that one because Gotohelldaddy.com gave me problems with my domain so we're still on that now, but in the meantime we're back to good old Blogger. It's free and it works.

Right now I'm sitting in a desk, with only a laptop in front of me and nothing else. No files, no papers, no in and out trays, and not even a drawer. I come in the morning (well sometimes I come in the morning) and sit and turn on the laptop and work, then I leave after 8 hours. Very minimalist, the way I've always dreamed my workstation to be. That if you know me personally and seen my past workstations you'd know how I feel about this.

I used to have nightmares about the growing piles of paper in my desk, and everyday more comes in. Sometimes I wonder that if a genie appears and grants me only one wish I'd waste it on wishing those papers get filed magically. If there is one office thing I absolutely loathe, it's filing. I get papercuts and the dust from the folders give me rashes. Plus the fact that I really don't like it. But it was part of office duties and everyone does it so I drudgingly did the same. I wasn't good at it, not that I don't know where to file things, I just wasn't good at getting around to the actual filing. Hence the growing pile.

This is one of my fresh starts. I hope there are more coming.
