I am having one of those days where nothing is fun, I have nothing to do (I've got lots to do), I don't fancy any of the books I've recently bought or any old book for that matter. Today is just a dull day.
Dragged myself up to town and the employment agency to pick up some forms to fill in for Wednesday's interview (yeay!). I haven't looked at them yet but I guess it's another form to fill in the last 17 years of studies/work/experiences in tiny, tiny boxes. I'll just leave it for when I am in a better mood. I'm in the kind of mood where I'd answer something totally inappropriate or untrue just to spice things up a bit.
I'm sure you did it in school too. You know, when your class had been "randomly selected" (least likely to draw offensive pictures) to fill in a questionnaire about issues such as drugs, sex and health etc. I'm glad I made things up as the things I said I'd done.... not pretty! I know it was a bad thing to do, but we got tired of being patronised by poorly phrased questions, and smiling health workers repeatedly saying "it's all very anonymous" and the view that we were idiots who'd never ever heard of STDs and how you could prevent it. I think we all had had sex with one another on at least a weekly basis during booze- and drug filled parties and never ever using any form of protection (we were such a geeky bunch in real life!). One guy once wrote that he'd had an STD and the teachers "found" him (so much for anonymity) and he had to go through the Spanish Inquisition until they were satisfied that he'd made it up and then he had to have a talk with the principal for messing up the stats and the health workers were really disappointed with him!
We were never asked to fill out another questionnaire so we owe that guy a great big "Thank You!"
Anyway, the flat is a complete mess and I am sure I saw some dust bunnies leaping off the balcony after finding it a bit over-populated under the sofa, so I'd better go and kill the ones that didn't make it as far as the balcony.
