Weekend backlog

Hello Wurld, Sorry for the complete lack of postage since last Thursday. Yes, I was roaringly busy with work, chores, socials, etc. but hey, what kind of excuse is that in our current day and age where constant availability is as common as the flu. So, to compensate, here are my PDA'd scribblings from Friday and Saturday... "Way-ell! Today is suit-and-tie day again and I'm waiting for my 1:00 appointment. This(one out of an endless series of cafeteriae in a nondescript office block) is one place where using a PDA is about as conspicuous as breathing. I'm in IT-land, and a particularly posh part of it at that. Here, people come up and check out what you're using; Blackberries (lust!) are for middle management and above, anything else tends to be privately acquired and not worth the notice unless its obviously new&groovy. My weary old Palm III doesn't as much as raise a flicker on the corporate interest radar. Funny how context-related hipness, or perception of it, is. Scribbling away at uni the other day, I was the target of considerable interest ("Wow, are you taking digital notes, huh? That's cool...") In fact, I was writing a blog entry... Change of scene: I never did finish that entry yesterday. Now, 26 hours, one cocktail party and one time management seminar later I'm back to coffee and blogging. The time management thing was so-so; I'd be tempted to say "waste of time" if it wasn't for the fact that I'm in such dire need for improvement. The old adage about beggars definitely rings true, so even if the trainers's style didn't suit me, there's no way I could not have benefitted. Meeting with some old classmates for drinks now, so I've got to go. Cheerio!" Yup, folks, that's what it was... One busy, but fun weekend. Yesterday was R&R, mooching on the sofa, fast food and lots of sleep. So, now you know! Seeya!
