The second half of 2009 begins

July 8th, 2009. Filed under: Blog

Hello all.

I know I have not made real updates in awhile. So let me do just that today.

The biggest update of all is the fact that I am now a werking adult. Even though I wanted a longer holiday, the time has come.

Goodbye, my younger self. It was fun, but you could have made it more so. If only you did not oversleep all the time, you could have found the energy to do more with your life. No, really.

I now find myself in a 9-6 (effectively 9-7) job dressed in collared shirts and wearing leather shoes. But Justin, all office employees dress that way! I know, but its an adjustment. I compensate by keeping my long-ish hair, and nobody in my office had made even a hint of negativity towards it. Hooray for me.

I came up with the word ‘werk’ years ago. I haven’t explained it to anyone, but nobody asked anyway. I meant to define ‘werk’ as work for the sake of work, or meaningless work. Or simply, said in spite of it.

Truth is, I dreaded office life for a long time. I didn’t want to spend my short youth in a cubicle, like I have told friends. But I’m no genius, I’m no revolutionary. I have to conform to the world’s norms, for the time being at least.

That’s why make sure that I spend my free time doing the things I like, rather than surfing the interwebs until I fall asleep. I will be participating in theatre act called “The Things We Have Lost”, premiering August. Theatre is one of my many interests, and If I don’t do what I love, I will die of boredom of working life.

If any of colleagues are reading this, let me assure you that my work integrity is not compromised, despite all I have stated in this post.

P/S: My first paycheck came on the very first day the MJ incident hit the media. Way to steal my thunder.

P/S/S: Don’t get me wrong, I am sad. Not because he is gone, but because he didn’t manage to do a comeback concert in time.
