Resolve: Pending; Intention: Stirring
quote Christopher: In Europe, 20% of the women hold 90% of the beauty. So there are 80% out there sharing the rest, and the situation isn't so favourable. In Japan, it's not so egalitarian. 5% of the women hold 90% of the beauty. When they are beautiful, it's amazing.
I saw a man today paying for dinner at a the same el-cheapo place as me. He opened his wallet, and I saw what must've been at least 500,000 Yen. Probably closer to 1M. These guys are too used to safety. Imagine walking around London with 5k STG?
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. It is stops moving, subsidize it.
Specialisation is what is going to kill this wonderful bliss that is IT. I get paid an unreasonably large amount of money for doing absolutely nothing. The fact that they pay me at all is a challenge to understand. And yet I predict doom. 5 years ago, an SA would have to design, order, take delivery, rack up, cable, provision SAN volumes, network, jumpstart, install apps, create accounts, backup, rock and roll. Now, there are separate monkies in separate teams to do all these tasks. Which means my job is becoming that of the burger flipper at McDonalds. Succint, individual tasks, that can be exacted and mindlessly replicated. Outsourcing just became a whole lot easier.
Genius. I just saw a bicycle helmet with a rear view mirror sticking out of it.
Japanese, when they are ill, wear masks, to keep the germs to themselves. It is odd at first, and querky afterwards, but never really 'normal' to see it. I will try and get a picture. There is no way in hell i'm wearing a mask, irrelevant of what viral contagion I happen to be spewing up into society. I'm intolerant of their ways, in fact, I laugh at them. This is awful. Imagine telling all the muslims back home to go out drinking, and then have a bacon and sausage fry-up the next morning? Why are we so utterly intolerant and unwilling to accept other people?
When I say PUT, do you think verb, http or derivative? I've moved from left to write. Cheap pun, ok, but i've learnt a lot about money markets recently.
I think, since my shin healed, the endorphins have started flowing again. Life is good. I'm even considering staying out here. I've left it to a magic number, which, of course, I will only know about at the end of this contract (if the damn thing ever gets signed off). If I can't get it, no regrets.... I hope. Is that the only thing that matters? Shisser. I dont want it to be. Edson told me that the magic number is possible - in some cases. Grinning kampai.
Listening to Shawn Smith and reading Richard Dawkins. Genki des. Honto des. I think I've found her; I'm tingly. So I read a Kanji. This could be the real thing. The long haul baby.
$$$ REWARD $$$: 20,000 Yen for bringing my Cannondale over to Japan.

Your bike is currently sitting in my hall and has been since the edinburgh glasgow trip last year. If you ever want to see it alive again then you will have to pay more than 20,000 YEN. HAHHAHAHAHAHAH
