Action: Do Things Later

I’m part time in an office. I say “call me in my out-of-office time if there’s an emergency.”
Some people think: “We forgot to do something last week and we want it done today. It’s actually not that important.”
“But we’ve got your mobile number (though we won’t see the note beside the number saying you aren’t working today). We’re calling you anyways.”
I say “what’s going on?”
“Oh we’re fine, busy like normal.”
My face goes like this, -_-
“So can you talk? We have this and this problem .. ”
Stuff that’s been happening
It’s World Cup mania in these parts! Pic related:

I also got a new bike! My last 2 bikes have cost me a combined €35, so I really splurged on this one, paying nearly double. I still can’t believe that I found such a good deal, though, everything about it is in perfect working order. I just wish the handlebar was a little higher, and it could use some shocks… But it’s a smooth ride and I tear up the city, whose constant construction is no longer an obstacle!

In other news, I wrote a short piece for a techy-news website,
which they attributed to my online persona. Can I still put this on my resume?
^O^ T_T :-*
一名男子及一名女子在一见面的相亲餐厅。
男:您好!
女:嗨!我觉得我们是第一个到达!
男:是啊!我们的其他朋友马上就到!
他们等待的,但别人不来。
在此期间,他们的谈话。
男:嗨,你好吗?
女:我很好,谢谢!你好吗?
男:我饿了!
女:我也是!
该名男子作出了电话。
男:您好,阿尔贝?您好,阿尔贝?
女:阿尔伯特?我认为这是你!
男:不!我的名字是迈克尔!
女:噢,亲爱的主啊!
阿尔贝没有来了,两个人吃晚餐,相爱,十分。

What’s she thinking, pt 2.?
Someone told me,
“Hey! What the heck does the title of your last WFT post have to do with a DJ and a party?”
So I said,
“Whoa, are you blind? Here let me spell it out for you”
And I drew a little picture in the air above my head.
And the person was like,
“Wow, I get it now!”
But I doubted that, so I made a real picture instead:

What’s she thinking?
Rina and Nina went to a party
They were dressed as arty and farty.
Everyone danced and had a great time
And Nina and Rina’s names always rhyme!
Summer is coming and a beach is nearby
Maybe we’ll dance with sand and the sky?
Stay -up -late DJs would spin until light
And keep Rina and Nina bouncing all night.
Don’t give these girls coffee
If ever y’all meet.
It’s practical advice
They’d just never sleep!

Time Delay

I do apologize profusely for not being able to set down any interesting text. I have started two rather large side projects (one is very secret, the other is GUADEC) that are or will soon be a lot of work. But I like it, it means I have no excuse to be bored. Also, this past week it was my birthday! Needless to say, there were festivities (plural) involving cakes (also plural). The above photograph was a casualty: a guest with a lazy elbow in our kitchen at a house party. Broken ceramics, self-constructing archaeology.
