Will the Real Slim Slacker Please Stand-up!

It’s almost towards the end of the 1st month of the year 2005 and this is my first post. I’ve not made a post in quite awhile. A looooong quite-awhile. Problem is, I’ve had a number of blog posts started but were never carried to completion due to work and more work. Yeah, yeah….I’ve also been kinda lazy. I’ve never been hard-bitten by the blogging bug but I do like to write (not as passionate as say Stephen King though, he of the lineage of verbosity). It is something I enjoy but it is not a craving that I need to satiate constantly.

Been kinda numb to write is another reason. Just look at break-neck speed our world is moving at. I mean, the Boxing Day natural disaster sure takes the prize for numbness inducing moments.

Sometimes I wonder whether I should continue blogging seeing that my record at updating it has been dismal and my work has been close to all consuming.

The real crappy part about the nature of my work is that I can’t really write about it here cos:

1) It’s pretty sensitive and kinda unique so…

2) I manage people and clients and my frustrations and hair-pulling concern them.

About the one thing I can do is to write very, very vague descriptions about it. But still nothing beats a rant *smile*. Anyways, I’ve not had much energy going into the Christmas break and going into the new year. I’ve just been saddled with an intense migraine inducing project in the city where “You’ll find a god in every golden cloister”…I’m guessing only those who listen to late disco and 80’s era music will guess where this is *grin*.

So I’ve gotten to a stage where after a hard week’s work, with the prospect of weekend work always possible, I’d just like to kick back with a beer and watch TV as my brain unravels. Beer is cheap in Indonesia and the new place I’m at. Plus, I’ve started to develop a taste for it but I still can’t hold my alcohol as a respectable Kadazan should. Ha!

Still, I do think I’ll carry on blogging and even though my frequency will vary wildly, from back-to-back posts to a silent-running period.
