Marmosets

Marmosets, another great beastie of the world, right up there with camels, llamas and penguins for sheer amusement factor. Wombats also amuse me.
I have no idea why. Maybe just the 'spleen' effect with words that just amuse me for no adequately explored reason other than they sound (to me) funny.
So all hail the marmoset, whatever the hell it may be.

Stuff

Just got the urge to type at the moment, not exactly sure what about or anything - no I just type and go, I don't take two keyboards into the shower, not with new Type-n-go. Now theres an idea, a palm based waterproof PC, so you can play games in the shower and bath and stuff, very useful indeed. Get some network cabling or some kind of RF modem too and you can pick your email up anywhere, pulse it through some kind of mega-watt wibble system up to a relay on the surface and divers could use it too. "Hey we've got mail" "Whats it say?" "Help - my oxygen tank has run out" see? Now that'd be useful.

Hmmm

My minds bouncing from topic to topic at the moment.
Mmmmm, topics, hazelnut in every bite, not as big as other choc bars for some reason, but still nice.
I wonder why they are smaller, I mean are hazelnuts that expensive? Cadburys seems to manage to make fruit n' nut and nut choc for the same price (I think) as other stuff, so it can't be the hazelnuts... hmmmm who knows.

Time, that was what I was originally going to talk about, but got distracted by hazelnuts and topics... mmmm

Just sorta thinking; average life expectancy, 65 say, no smoking good, but eat crud and really don't exercise enough, 65 is probably a good guess, which puts me about 43% of my way through my life. Retirement at say... 55, at at guess, so 10 years after that all doing... well frankly I haven't a clue, probably pixie stick abuse.
But until then thats 27 years of life to do... 52 weeks a year, approx here, of which 2 days a week are weekends giving approximately 19 hours life, sleep doesn't count. Work days we're talking maybe 11 hours life, so thats 5x52x11 + 2x52x19 = 2860 hours a year x 27 = 77220 hours of life left, since I don't really count retirement.
So with 11 hours per working day thats each working day roughly representing 0.01 % of my remaining happy go lucky life or something.
Not much really.
So why the HELL do weekdays drag so much and weekends go so fast?
Probably something to do with the static M25 theory - all traffic moves at a relative constant speed on the M25, where theres a jam one side the other side has freelanes.
Go gadjet go.

Rollin'

Ok, maybe I'm on some kind of roll at the moment, maybe a ham roll, or a chicken roll, or a chocolate swiss roll; whatever sort of roll it is, I'm on it. Surfing the roll of life like some kind of hip beach dude with slicked back hair and a board waxxed to the max.
Yeah dude.
Yeah, I'm surfing my roll in the hazy reality that is the distraction I build around me to keep sane during work hours, and believe me that isn't as easy as it sounds. I meant basically I'm a person with a fairly short attention span in most situations, meetings at work have me drifting off and work needs to be interesting or again, its snooze time.
Maybe I should fit my head with a snooze button, hmmm, mistyped heart there instead for a moment, is that my fingers thinking or my brain because frankly at the moment my thoughts are one word ahead of where I'm typing which is about as honest as you get in my opinion; any time that you stop to think, stop reasoning or stop considering and just say what you say, not think, feel or do, just say it you're probably giving the most honest expression of your beliefs and/or ideas at that point because you're just saying, or something.
My usual waffle.
I did warn people when I started this I'd just type a load of pap whenever I needed five minutes to distract myself, and so I have.
Anyway, what you complaining about, you chose to read this bucko, even if that is me half-talking to myself here as I backtrack through what I'm typing as I do it.

I have no willpower.
Ice cream delivery wanders around the office
"No definately not today" I think to myself.
"New selections" she says
"Oh well, better look then" thinks I.

No willpower.

Still, nice ice-cream...

Wahoo!

Idea of the day - frozen ice lolly alco-pops
Damn, sure someone else has thought of it but that's not going to stop me trying it!
Reef-sicles here I come!

Hometime, wahoo!
