hmmm...

sometimes i wonder about my job.

like yesterday, when i spent 2 hours sorting through a bucket of stick insect poo (not with a fine tooth comb, but with tweezers) collecting eggs.

but, you know, it was actually quite relaxing to do something so completely mentally undemanding. i just switched my brain off, switched the radio on, and felt the aromatherapeutic effects of eucalyptus oil that has passed through a stick insect's digestive system.

how's the serenity!

........beep........beep........beep........

ah, anonymous. my blog is AWOL cos my mind is AWOL.

i like to (ok, am forced by my own inactivity to) think of my blog as a long term coma patient: it shows a profound state of unconsciousness, showing no response to external stimuli and exhibiting no voluntary actions.

on rare occasions, slight signs of activity DO appear, probably stimulated by the ministrations of the attending nurse, who turns my blog to prevent bedsores, perhaps, and whose cool efficiency masks a tender heart ;)
