Potato prints make an impression. This month, my mission is to be the potato, at least where work is concerned. I started my new job on 1 December, so this is my third day. Any company takes a big risk hiring someone based on just their CV, interview skills and references. So of course, I'd like to prove to them that I'm worth it, and more.

This weekend was the celebration of my beloved's birthday, so a number of friends and I decided to treat him to a day trip to Sun City. He had never been during the day, and it seemed a fitting gift for a 25th birthday.

Have a listen to foreign music if you get a chance. Alright, let me rephrase: have a listen to non-English music if you get a chance. You may well find a number of really excellent songs that have missed commercial success because, well, they're not sung in English.

I remember the rhyme now:

I'm finished! On a whim, I typed in the name of the console computer system I had in the early 1980s, my first computer if you will, and I found it!

“Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.” – Prof. Dr. Edsger W. Dijkstra, in a 1975 article about programming truths.

I forget the rest of this nursery rhyme, but it’s a reference to my being back on the market career-wise. I’m looking for work, so wish me luck. I have several interviews lined up already.

I just tried to log into my CC's bank account now to find that I cannot get in – it says no accounts are linked to the card number. How bizarre!

I had a massive argument with my ex last night (the one who broke up with me in December) and I'm feeling terrible. I only managed about 4 hours of sleep, which matches the 4 hours from the previous night.

What to say when someone you are over asks "so when are we going to be lovers?".
