Have not even started.

I haven't even started writing a book. I must be the worlds biggest procrastinator. The internet is such a distraction especially Facebook. You can waste hours on there.

Thinking of writing a book

Lately I've been thinking of writing a book. I know there is a least one book in me to write. It seems like every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to write a book. Some people start but never finish and others talk about writing a book but never actually do. A smaller number of people finish writing a book but it is a piece of crap that nobody would publish never mind buy. I don't want to be one of those people that never finishes. It could be a piece of crap for all I care as long as I finish writing it. It would be a way of getting this book bug out my system. I think everyone that is plagued with this bug should finish writing a book no matter how crappy it is because it would be like a purging. They would finally get a feeling of completion and closure. You would finally know for certain whether you have what it takes to write a good book.

Standard Time

We are now back on standard time. Yippee! I just wish we were on standard time year round like Saskatchewan. Why on earth are we fooling around with clocks in the first place. It is silly putting the clock ahead one hour and back one hour. Even when we are on day light saving time I am still woken up by the sun before I have to get up and I am still waking up in the dark on standard time so fooling around with clocks is stupid. It throws people off their schedules. Most people have a set time for eating, sleeping and other bodily activities. This fooling around with clock is hard on people. Did you know the day after the time change people are more likely to get into car accidents? It goes to show you we are making it tough on people fooling around with clock. What about science and accuracy. How is fooling around with time going to help? Can workers put the clock ahead an hour so they can leave work early when they feel like it? No so why are we screwing around with the time as a society? Let's have standard time year round and no more changing the clocks!

Been Sick lately

I have been sick lately with a stomach virus that made me puke and shit at the same time which then lowered my immune system even further so a cold virus could work on me. This has not been a very good month or so. I picked up a stomach virus from taking public transit or from visiting a hospital. I am not sure. Hospitals and public transit are both very germy places where you can pick up almost anything. I am over the stomach virus and gaining back the weight I lost but now I am stuck with this stupid cold that is going into its tenth day. This cold makes me very dopey at times so if this blog post is crappier than my usual you now know why.

Online job tests

I've noticed that some companies require job seekers to take online job tests. The tests supposedly weed out unsuitable candidates for the job but honestly I don't think they work all that well. The online job tests don't test for reliability, punctuality, competency, honesty, hard-work and likability. The test only weeds out those that are complete idiots or who are lousy at taking tests or people who are honest. What you end up having come to an interview are a lot of liars and egotists. Sure there some competent people who make the grade for the interview but those tests don't weed out most of the unsuitable candidates. A lot of the online tests can be gamed. Take for instance the personality test that some companies make you take. You can easily figure out what answers to give based on the job you are applying to. For instance a retail job requires someone who is an extrovert so you answer the personality test as if you were extrovert. How is the company going to know the truth? They can't because they have never met you and gotten to know you on a personal level.

People can put on a phony act and act like they are all bubbly and outgoing and pretend to love meeting new people. Some people are great actors and have missed their calling. I've been to a group interview where I watched a sour puss middle aged woman all of a sudden morph into a smiling, animated extrovert who oozed enthusiasm for the job. Before the interview she was a grumpy sour faced woman who looked less than thrilled to be there. It was amazing how she switched on like that and morphed into this other person. The only thing with putting on a phoney act like that is it's hard to keep up once you are on the job. Putting on a act all day at work would be exhausting. I don't know how some people manage to do it. I know I wouldn't have the energy to pretend to be something I am not for 40 hours a week. Hey all you phoney extroverts out there you missed your calling as an actor.

Being True

I've just come to realize that I am not being true to myself. It seems as if I am taking jobs I don't want to do and don't like just because I want the money. I wish I could work at something that excites me instead of always doing crap that no one else wants to do and is someone else's dirty work. I don't want to spend my life doing something I loathe just because I need the money. I am sick of that nonsense. Life is too short to be miserable all the time. Experts and gurus say do something that you feel passionate about but I apply to those type of jobs I never get them. I always end up with the job that no one else in their right mind wants. That is why I get them because no one else wants it. Everybody is always head of me in the line up for the better jobs. I take pot luck. It is like I get the crumbs off the table. It's not fair but then who said life was fair. I guess I should consider myself lucky I can even get crumbs because some people don't even get that. :-(

Flirting with an idea

I am flirting with an idea of closing down this blog or making it a private diary. The reason is I don't blog often enough and I am not creative enough to blog everyday. Another idea is to upload random doodles and pictures I take instead of posting wordy posts. Sigh I am undecided as to what to do.
