Today is Wednesday. Repeat after me: today is Wednesday. It is not Sunday. Nor is it Saturday. You cannot stay in bed until 10 a.m. Today is Wednesday. Sing a little song with those words while you drag yourself out from under the duvet and wonder why you're awake at 6:30. Repeat it out loud as you stub your toe on a door, stagger into the lounge, avoid tripping over the cat and figure out why your skinny butt isn't still buried under various snug covers. Today is Wednesday.
Eventually, I woke up and came in to work, which is a real chore without a car, I have to say: an extra 40 minutes of travel - tripling the time - and most of that is walking... hell, at least I get some more exercise! Surprisingly, I wasn't late. Trouble is, I can't get my arse into gear and the work's piling up on me today. Tomorrow's a public holiday, too, so I don't have any leeway. Ack.
Still, my mind-meanderings have led me to several amusements this morning as I struggle with my lack of work ethic. So here goes - first, a neat little test thingy from Quizilla:

You will be smothered under a rug. You're a little
anti-social, and may want to start gaining new
social skills by making prank phone calls.
What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

Secondly, a rather excellent article on tolerance in a US university that amused me no end.
Thirdly, a belt ranking system for MT (and as for the grammar of "learn yourself"... AAARGH!!):
Red Belt
Red symbolizes danger. Your knowledge lets you apply MT-Do effectively on a daily basis, but at this point you possess a will to experiment, and learn yourself new techniques. Which might lead to disastrous results. Apply your knowledge wisely and sparsely.
Take the MT-Do test
Finally, I received what can only be termed "an honest spam" this morning: I'll put that in another entry, later, once I've done some work. :)
