Procrastinating already

By the way, that crush I had a while ago, apart from being non-existent now, was foolish in the extreme.

Why, you may ask. Since when has Andrew done/thought anything dumb?

(By the way, just in case you thought I was the epitome of perfection, I do stupid stuff occasionally. Only occasionally.)

(Actually, who am I kidding? Most of the stuff I do is stupid. Full stop.)

Well, it turns out she has a fiance.

What's a 20-year-old (that's about how old she is) doing with a fiance?

To that question, I have no answer. Or, at least, no sensible answer. As in, no answer that doesn't consist of conspiracy theories involving giant alien palm trees and miniature balloon animals (in various shapes and colours). Told you so.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be smashing out these job applications. So far, I've completed KPMG, but it seems cursed to me. Firstly, the application was a struggle, because I couldn't upload my academic transcript for about 2 hours. After that's all done, they send me an email with a dodgy link to a test I'm supposed to do. I couldn't use the link, so I tried to do it the manual way - that is, through the website. The website was down for maintenance until this morning.

This afternoon, I tried to do it. I ended up doing the first test about five times, because it kept screwing up. I'm pretty sure I still haven't submitted it properly, and I can't go on to the next ones.

Oh, and I'm supposed to do it 48 hours after receiving the email. It's now been about 50 hours, by my reckoning.

Write it off as a lost cause? Probably a good idea.

So that debacle has absolutely disenchanted me with job applications for now. So, instead, I'm busy becoming a beast at guitar. Building my repertoire, so that I don't always end up playing either 'Songbird', 'The Scientist', 'Wonderwall', 'I'm Yours', 'She Will Be Loved' or 'Mine'.



Good little song, that one. I quite enjoy the video myself.

Looking at it now, that's actually not too bad a collection. But there's always room to expand. Quite what I'm going to do with these songs, I have no idea. Probably serenade someone one day. Hopefully.

Word of the Day: Debacle
