At the moment it is dusty, quite a mess, and a place to hoarding useless junk. I need to get up there with a duster and a broom, and then go through everything, decide what I need to keep, what I don't need to keep. Throw away anything damaged and not worth repairing. Find a proper way to store anything worth keeping, in a manor that is logical and useful. Find and repair any damages to the structure. Fill cracks, fix leaks.
I need to do something very similar to my flat.
Well, actually all I really have to do is wake up tomorrow.
Keeping this weekend simple, yet it feels busy at the same time. I am in the mood for board games tonight, so I might need to pick some of those up, apart from that I am sorted. Maybe try one or two things out of The Boardgame Remix Kit.
Oh, maybe I should get some snacks and drinks
In a previous post I mentioned having trouble with routine . I believe I have made the first steps to recovery.
If you are hoping for profound insight and wisdom, then I really hate to disappoint you, but you have come to the wrong place, all I can offer is the wisdom you can expect from a blog with a title such as this.
My major epiphany is nothing more than a drip coffee machine and a plug switch with a timer. I do know that you can get the two of these built into the one device, but I don't really see the point of that. The quality of the coffee at the end would not be any better if the machine had its own timer, this is cheaper, and it also gives me a separate timer should I ever have the need for it (except for the need of making coffee).
The main point of a coffee machine on a timer, in any person's life, is to have coffee ready for you first thing in the morning. It is a reason to get out of bed, because you know the coffee is already there, and you can get up and pour yourself a cup. The first steps to routine come in the night before, when you need to fill the machine with coffee and water, and put the timer on auto.
Another advantage of this is that I am able to put the rest of the coffee into a flask, and it is still good for a few hours for me to have a few more cups at work.
I find myself lacking in any form of routine and it is starting to cause trouble in my life.
I believe that every person needs a fair amount of a routine, although you should be in control of the routine and not the routine in control of you, but it should make a pretty good guide.
This comes down to work related tasks, like good communication and submitting time-sheets on time, to more home/personal things like sweeping the floors at least once a week.
At the moment I think everything in my life is extremely hap-hazard, and this is not good for me at this time. There are still things I do not like planning in advance, but there are some things I should try and take more vigilance in, even if it is creating a simple check list of things I must do before going to bed each day.
I spend most work days at various clients, and I spend a lot of the day wanting a cup of coffee.
Most offices have a kitchen where you can help yourself to coffee. The problem is that if you do not work at the office, it is unlikely that you will have have a cup to use.
In some offices the business has a supply of mugs, in which case they will all be the same, and it is not to much of an issue which one you take, but in most cases each employee brings their own mug to work.
People normally chose to bring in a mug specific for them selves. It will have a saying, or a photo of their children, or a cartoon of a unicorn shitting a rainbow out its arse. This means that white mugs are not normally owned by anyone, and can be used. I am not the only person who has thought this. I was in a kitchen at an office one day, and another person asked me if I had seen any white mugs that she could use.
So, if you ever need a mug and are not sure which to take, you are normally safe with the white one. What do other people do in these cases?
A friend of mine has challenged me to submit one blog post every day for one month.
Does this count as a post.
How much do you tip when having a bottomless coffee? I feel you should tip per cup, even if you only pay for one.
so, if a bottomless coffee costs R20, and you drink 3, you should tip as though your bill is R60.
Any thoughts on that?
