Some things are best left unsaid…

A recent email that fell into my inbox stated that I don’t update this weblog enough. Truth is, I haven’t had much to write home about of late. My energy levels have been close to zip, zilch, none after I come home from work and the majority of any (in)sane thought gets thrown into my paper journal.
Seeing as I dig making lists as much as the next person, feel free to knock yerselves out with a couple of my belated Top Fives for March.
Top Five Things That Are Pissing Me Off At The Moment
- World of friggin’ Warcraft (I call it ‘Wowsies’) - I am so over having to deal with people that spend the majority of their waking hours playing the stupid game and ignoring their other responsibilities.
- Facebook applications that insist you invite 20 people in order to receive the answer to some stupid quiz question. Ditto goes to people that keep inviting me to some stupid group so some other Facebook clown can be inducted into the Guiness Book Of Records.
- Microsoft Windows Vista - I’ve got Vista Business installed on my ASUS Laptop and I swear to high hell if I see another message telling me that Windows Defender is busted, I’m going to install Ubuntu on this machine. (Kain, I totally sympathise with you, mate. Vista is bad)
- Muzzas - more fluoro than the highlighter pen aisle at Officeworks
- Connex Melbourne - The trains never run on time, customer service is appalling and charming little mixups at Southern Cross Station are really doing my head in (yes, I really DID want to travel to Watergardens instead of going home)
Top Five Interweb Timewasters
- Facebook (email me if you would like to add me as a Facebook freak….errr, friend)
- Pownce
- Twitter (way too addictive)
- tiinker
- Google Talk (Only because I adore leaving messages after the meeeeeeeeeeeep
)
busy much?

Pinch punch, second of the month. No returns. Ok, ok, so I am a day late. March kinda slapped me in the face yesterday and with that then end of the calm before the storm. It’s been nothing but zoom, zoom, zoom…..AAARGH in the life of Maria. I’ve always bitched about there not being enough time in the day to get things done. I never realised how busy life can get once you score a small promotion at work for simply knuckling down and not faffing about.
I’m now a Sales Coach at work. All the bouncing around like a lunatic, drawing up strategies to get results and being extremely vocal at my desk has paid off. I now have an excuse to bounce around and be annoying. If it gets results, it keeps the powers that be happy and if the powers that be are happy, I can ruddy well pay the bills and buy food.
Yay for capitalism!!!
It hasn’t all been work, work, work though. I recently discovered the aural and visual cocaine that is Audiosurf. It’s the trippiest puzzle game this side of Sudoku. You control a little spaceship that rides along a highway that is constructed and controlled by the type of music that’s playing. I highly recommend this game if you love games that are musical and pretty. You can purchase Audiosurf from Steam.
If I could describe last month in a youtube video, this would be it.
