Motivation and the complete lack of it

There is so much noise in the office, I really can't work - or am I just shirking the responsibility again? It made depressing reading : looking at the other early, frst blog I wrote in early 2002 - nothing seems to have changed in the last 18 months. Nothing at all. Still I sit here in the noise not enjoying my job, surfing too much.

At least in early 2002 I had recently been to the dentist. Now it's two years, which means 18 months of procrastination. All these things block me so much, there is no real advancement. Al that has changed in the last 18 months is that I now have my own apartment, and many more DVDs and CDs. Oh and I changed the car a few times and have a different GSM. These appear to be the sum total of my achievements from being just 35 to nearly 37.

Autmnal Palinode

Must find out what palinode means. This Blogger thing changes each time I log on - the interface looks far less minimal than before. Maybe I'll be able to get this blog to look like the other one's with photos and frames etc.

I'm sure palinode is a type of poem or lyric. Here's the ref. Not far off. The subj is a quote from McNeice of course.
