If somebody staunchly refuses to bother taking part in the lottery, almost looking down on those that pin all their hopes on it, spends a lot of time thinking about how he'd spend such a windfall - does that make them hypocritical or just stupid? Every now and then I'll drift off for a few minutes (usually while driving) thinking of all the awesome but modest things I could buy with millions of pounds, almost as if it were a foregone conclusion and that I just need to stick it out at work for that little bit longer.
Then I snap out of it and realise how stupid I'm being. Seeing that written there makes it seem like I'm suffering through every day at my job just praying for an out when in reality it's not nearly that bad. I'd say that on the whole I'm enjoying it more than I did in the other department, mostly because people actually speak to me rather than conversing amongst themselves in Welsh. Honestly I know I really have nothing to complain about, and its mostly just that I'm a very lazy individual at heart who, if given the opportunity, would happily live out his days being geeky and NOTHING ELSE.
In some ways the fact that I'm getting off my arse and actually going to Sweden in October is a massive surprise to myself. I'd always told myself that travel was something I could do without. Maybe I just needed something to shake me out of my apathy. Maybe I found a rather base and shallow reason for wanting to go to another country. Who knows?
For someone that whinges about a lack of free time, I've sure wasted a lot of it today. I slept till something silly like 11:30 and then went about playing Assassins Creed 2 which arrived from Boomerang today. I have no idea why I didnt get on the games rental bandwagon much earlier. Economically I'm winning, which I'd take over a moral victory any day.

I've lived in America, travelled to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and lots of other places and you learn more then you know by doing this.
