I suppose you think that's funny

So I bought a book about bookbinding, and when I opened it, all the pages fell out.

Nah, they didn't really. Would've been funny if they had, though...

That's my kind of joke.

The funniest cartoon I ever saw was of a man lying on a psychiatrist's couch, saying, "I don't suppose it's much compared to other people's inferiority complexes".

Ah, so funny.

I was going to go on an assertiveness course, but I lost the form and didn't like to ask for another.

I was going to buy a book about positive thinking, but it probably wouldn't do any good.

I was going to buy a book about improving my memory, but I forgot.

Kneel before Zod, except after 'c'.

So, as anyone who knows me would tell you, I'm obsessed with stationery.

I could live in Staples. And if I ever win the lottery, I'll move into Smythsons instead!

Deep down, I'm convinced that if I just buy the right notebook, I could finally sort my life out.

But in the meantime, I wander the globe, buying notebooks and journals, like some kind of stationery-obsessed Flying Dutchman.

Always in search of the perfect one, the one that will allow me to finally marshall my wayward thoughts into some kind of order - the one that will finally make sense of it all and result in the ultimate answer to whatever it is that needs to be answered.

Wish me luck.



p.s. I know the title doesn't relate to the post itself, but I don't care!!

What a load of rubbish!

So, yeah, I think I'm going to have to go part-time at work.

Yes, I need the money, and yes, I prefer working full-time, but I can't do that and put out my rubbish correctly.

I need to take at least one day off per week to concentrate on correctly dividing and packing my recyclables.

I could just about fit it in with my career when it was just the three different kinds of bins, but now I have the green bin, and the green box, and the blue bag, and now the white sack. I can't co-ordinate all that and hold down a full-time job.

If I caused contamination because I was distracted by having to work for a living, I'd never forgive myself!
