3 is the magic number

I couldn't keep to a schedule to save my life. Perhaps if I got paid to only write new posts I could get that right, so for now you can just be happy that I'm posting more-or-less than 3 posts a week :P It is just so hard to stick to a deadline. So many school projects suffered thanks to that trait of mine... Actually, I probably had less than a 50% success rate in completing projects :( Well that's in the past. Besides - I didn't enjoy most of those subjects much anyway. The worst part was not being paid to do the things I don't like, since I started working it's a lot easier to write Emails and speak in front of strangers, I do it daily without issue. Well, without many issues...

So with Christmas right around the corner, I can't be the only one excited for my birthday, right? There'll be fireworks, cheering, birthday resolutions made for the new year... Yip, my birthday is an important day! Most people will be celebrating New Year's day, but not me! :P I'm curious as to hear what other people are excited for at the end of the old year and beginning of the new year...

Christmas COW!

I mostly look forward to seeing all my family and friends around the Christmas tree and enjoying the sights of Wilderness (where we all congregate for fun times), all the out-door activities we can do there, opening presents, and this year is especially special because of Caro's wedding :D I wonder what I'll wear? Jess already brought a stunning black dress, so whatever I choose won't compare. I guess I'll strut my T-shirt and shorts since there's no competition anyway :P

Don't worry, I'm just kidding! I'll prepare some kind of suit or something...

Lucky number 13

I see 13 as my lucky number, mostly just to spite everyone that gets superstitious easily. And besides, it has the number 3 in it! The magic number of posts per week, Magic 3. So mysterious... In fact, there are only 2 whole numbers in existence that don't have '3' in them! 1, and 2. every other number has 3. 4 = 3+1, BAM! Magic number 3. That same principal can be applied to any number above 3, just in case you were wondering.

So Happy Friday the 13th!

NOT a holiday for some reason...

Daily battles with fear

As they say: "Scared as an egg"

Something scares me nearly every day. A little or a lot, either way I get frightened easily. For instance! There was a customer that bought a P.C. from me yesterday. Software included, it was a hefty sale. He was happy, we were happy, he left. Early this morning he came in and asked if he could swap his desktop for a laptop. WHY!? Because his wife wanted him to purchase something "mobile"... Leaving aside the fact that he didn't consult his handler prior to buying a heftily-priced P.C., this scared me because I wasn't even sure what to do :1 I told him I'd need to consult the Great and Mighty Boss-lady on the matter.

I know it's a situation that is not riddled with despair or suffering, in the worst case scenario I just have to receive the desktop and book out a laptop. I get scared anyway! Stoopid worrisome brain. I bet I'm just scared of the trouble it'll cause me, thanks to my extreme laziness. Good news is the guy came back, after consulting his handler, and all is well. The solution lay with all their existing mobile devices (e.g. her laptop, their phones and tablets... They'll be fine). He took a WiFi dongle to avoid cluttered LAN cables on the walls and left us as a Happy Chappie. Yay! I narrowly avoided a mildly irritating situation. Smooth B)

To keep some form of consistency for the week, I shall write more on the subject of fear in my next post!

More of a hobby, to be accurate

A sustainable schedule!

You will have to wait for that next post!!! From today onwards I shall aim to update 3 times weekly! Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Why? Because I wanna. Firstly, it's tricky to get a post out every day. Secondly, I need to actually do stuff to blog about! So I'm taking the weekends off too, I get laziest on those 2 days :P

If you have a problem, take it up with life. Life is unfair though... Don't expect to get a friendly response. Life can also be a little b***h at times, so don't take it personally!

Yours truly in the written word,
Benjamin- HOORAH!
