For Sale: 1x Human Brain, almost new hardly used

Working for the last couple of days as a street surveyor, I really got to see a lot of different personalities. Some of them nice, some not so. But what I can say for sure is that this job is not easy. After a couple of hours of rejections and plain dismissals, you really begin to beg for recognition as a human being. I even began saying thank you to those that turned around to reject you with some lame excuse about having to be somewhere five minutes ago for the sole reason that they bothered to acknowledge your existence and that you warranted a response as a fellow sentient being.

I also learnt on the job that if you really want your own personal space in a crowded area, you should carry a clipboard and wear a lanyard around your neck. This got me at least a two metre radius of empty space around me down Orchard Road. Amazing, truly.

Honestly, this whole year so far has pretty much been largely inefficient for me. I haven’t accomplished many of the things that I had set out to do at the start of the year. I’m left with a pretty much emptied out bank account, not much in the way of intellectual growth and zero developments in terms of a personal life. I mean, I’m home on a Monday afternoon trying to figure out what to do with myself.

I’ve actually got quite a lot of things on my to-do list but as Newton explained, inertia retards any efforts to move a stationary object due to the object’s mass. And I have gained a bit of weight in the last few months. So in that sense, I’m actually looking forward to the start of school. At least there will be something that needs to be done and a greater motivation to get off my ass and actually do something for a change. A change of lifestyle will be more than welcomed.
