Attachment

It seems like my world has turned upside down, like roses don't smell like roses anymore, like my heart's getting ripped out of my chest. Okay okay, enough drama. I was just asked to clear out my current spot at work because a team lead decided that he was too cut off from the rest of the team in his current spot - and I guess it's okay for that to be inflicted on me now because I'm just a lowly developer and not some big-shot team lead. Six weeks and I'm already so attached to my spot at work that I don't want to move away, not one bit, not at all. Perhaps I should just glue myself to my seat in protest!

Quand les poules auront les dents

... or perhaps when pigs will fly, when cows will walk on just their hind legs,when grass will grow out of concrete and it will rain frogs, when people willfly to work on their broomsticks, when honey will taste sour, sugar will tastebitter and vinegar will taste sweet, when global warming will no longer be a threat,when each person shall not just be the colour of his/her skin or his/herreligion, when our governments will put a higher premium on the citizens' needsthan the corporations' needs, when the news media will be impartial, when we will stop burning down our forests and depleting our natural resources, when polar ice will stop melting, when money will not be our primary goal in life, when individualism and selflessness will be able to co-exist, when people will take the time to gaze at a star outside the glaring lights of the city centres or to admire the sunset in a traffic jam on their way back from work, when people will learn better ways to take out their negative feelings than to hurl at innocent people, when not only sex will sell and people will be comfortable enough to explore their sexual boundaries, when people will learn to question their beliefs and convictions, when people will have faith, just not blind faith, when minorities will not be expected to blend into the majority culture, when fantasy will become reality, when there will be world peace.

Clumsy? ME? NO!!

All in one day:

• I knocked over a glass of water on the table top
• I didn't seal my lunch properly - everything inside my little lunch plastic bag (yes, I'm being lazy, therefore environmentally-unfriendly, these days. Bad me, bad me!) smells like pineapple now
• I bumped into a co-worker (thrice). My only redemption is that it wasn't the same person all three times.

On a positive note, I'm not the only clumsy one at work. One of my co-workers also knocked over a glass of water... but on his laptop!! It was an ugly sight. When the vent didn't work, he ran down to the Eaton Centre, purchased a hairdryer and pointed it at his laptop for 30 minutes before it finally started working.

Clumsy clumsy x 2

This morning, while pouring milk into my coffee, I spilt it all over the floor and now it's all icky sticky!

Clumsy Clumsy

I just split open a bag of M&Ms in every direction imaginable. If this doesn't prove that I'm the clumsiest person alive, I don't know what does!
