Inflation
I've spent a lot of time recently getting over-concerned with inflation, and how the commodity price correction is going to lead to inflation of paper money. This means rate rises, and i'm scared that the price of my mortgage will go up. Especially bad, given the fact that i'm not earning enough money. Fear has subsided, i've worked out how to hedge. Just got to get it done now. Made a wiki to jot down insane ideas. Why didn't I do an economics degree? I'm sure that i'm a PPE type character now.
I've spent a whole three days away from the sauce, and it's done me some good, and some bad. The flat is irritating me now. Perhaps i need more sauce.
John looks like he'll be getting a job with Azora. Good money - closing in on Euro levels - so it's made me confident that i'll get something halfway decent here.
I needed to email a scanned copy of my passport to some guy, and so i walked around with it on Friday. Got it scanned, left the building, dropped it out of my bag, and walked 300m down the road. Got chased by some Japanese dude who returned it to me. Phew. Went out in Ebisu later that day, found a bar that looked like a charcuterie. Stopped for a beer, and left my bag (inc passport) behind. Realised it was missing, strolled back to the place, and picked it up 10minutes later. Japan has no crime.
'Copying the floppy' is turning out to be a disaster. A few mistakes that became a series, that became a catalogue, has now plagued it. I've been in the office every single day for 30 days - apart from a public holiday. I might take tomorrow (Sunday) off. I've become all serious about work. I dont want to give up Oracle, but it doesn't really exist out here. I still want to head towards architecture. how am i going to do it now? CSJ? Need to consult the Brazilian guru.
Thought of a venture. Emailed Dipesh. Got a reply. First sentence:
Hi Dan - Money and Friends don't mix.
He's right, and he knows I know it. I'm going to have to do this one on my own. I guess that just means I am going to have to want it more.
PK turned out to be gay. Yet another homosexual. Anyone that claims the ratio is less than 50% is lying. In other news, Gerald, Rimiko and Renata are all fleeing the country. Am I going to miss them?
GOT TO LEARN JAPANESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bought a small dictionary, carrying it around with me, and now looking up words slowly and painfully. need to join a class as well. at least it will give me something productive to do in the evening.
