And as an Objects I mean – thoughts, bollocks and husbands. As you can guess, this is a collection of this week’s random things.
I’m definitely suck as a weather reporter. Last time I’ve managed to rant about weather that happened a week before. This time it is again – about Monday’s. Last Monday we had…snow. Yep. It is March here and it was just a day from official arrival of the Spring. Whoever is responsible for the season change had surely only just about made it, almost missing their deadline. Last (well I HOPE IT WAS LAST!) snow was brief like the dot in a sentence. The fact that it happened in March was somewhat confusing for this country – earlier we had few winters without any snow at all. And they call it – Global Warming?! [*rolls eyes*]
Random bollocks on the fly
Remember some Bollocks I’ve been promoting some times ago? The Alistair Beaton’s Little Book Of Complete Bollocks. Well, I’ve just felt absolutely compelled to get another one of his: The Little Book Of Management Bollocks. So expect more bollocky stuff to get shared. I think, they might be using this book as a text book in Management’s training – some things just too good to be a joke, really. Judge for yourself:
~Negative Outcomes~
A negative outcome is not a failure; it is a learning opportunity. An extreme negative outcome is a massive learning opportunity. Be proud – people are learning so much from you!
~Assets~
Your most precious asset is YOU. Take care of your asset. Give your asset a comfortable office. Let your asset take long holidays. Award your asset a pay-rise. If anyone complains, tell them to kiss your asset.
~Motivation~
It is often assumed that money is the only motivational factor. WRONG. Fear is also important. Save the money. Use fear.
Ok, I’m tired of typing. More to come later. If I’d feel like it…
Random thoughts fly off my head:
Financial thought
A very wise someone said to me: in relationships we INVEST. It’s a good word and I like it. A solid word, no distorted meaning. You do not interpret it in many confusing ways. In relationships we do not pay and expect reimbursement. We invest some part of us into the “business” of relationships and expect it to be successful. And like in any business, it won’t get too far if no one else invests into it as well. It can still be profitable, i.e. we still gain something out of it. If only a lesson. But the key to success of any business is joint efforts of many. The other useful skill to have is – to be able to calculate the risks and to withdraw in the right time to save what’s left from your money…a somewhat financial view on relationships today…
A quick post-thought:
Sometimes you would throw all your assets into a business only to loose them. Perhaps, that means you were never meant to be rich in the first place.
Genderless thought
I wrote her before elsewhere. Humans do have this associative issue with stereotypes, don’t they? Like fairy princess supposed to be of a gentle complexion or a romantic dreamer, should have long hair scattered in the winds, moist eyes that hide significant meaning in them and slightly swollen lips in a shape that begs for a kiss…Ok, I’m none of the above… In the past I used to hear many times many positive things about me. The words used: smart, open minded, kind, helpful, trustworthy, strong, determined, understanding, best friend, etc…this kind of crap…you should’ve noticed by now, which definitions are missing …
I wonder why it is so important that when someone regarded to me, they say or think in terms of “that girl I know”, not in “that friend of mine”…it bothers me that I’m not satisfied with the “perfect” image that I have already?...maybe because "girl", "woman" is feminine, "friend" is genderless...somehow a word “friend” looks like a face without make up.
Husbands flying off again
He decided he wants to be in Russia next week. That’s the third time within less then a year. Maybe he’s having an affair there? [*laffs*] I catch myself engrossed in envy. That’s not good. For the past 6 years that I haven’t been to Russia I never felt an urge to go there. My parents visit us often enough to prevent missing them and I’m connected to my friends in electronic way. But this time I suddenly became nostalgic for no particular reason. And maybe I have to abandon all my other travel plans for this year and go home instead…or maybe I shouldn’t move out of it in the first place…WOW….just realised: can you imagine how many things would’ve been different if I’d stay?!
I may never ever even happened here….
