Oct 17: 5.46 a.m.
What am I doing awake at this ungodly hour? At the office? Surely there are better ways of getting a promotion... That's not what it's about. We at NCLR are off for Team Building! Somewhere out in the bush (Malewa, Gilgil.) Last time I got left behind; wasn't a part of the family yet. This time I HAVE to go or have a very plausible explanation as to why not.
(I'm not too enthusiastic about the whole affair, if I may confess. I'll have reason to be relieved I went later on.)

New beginning
7.30 a.m - Arrival at office. New addition to the 'Cubicle'. Through some intelligence thought it would be a rough day. Quite the opposite. Morning passes without incident.
2.30 p.m. Peace still reigns. Not quite sure how. Stranger has been fitting into new shoes all day. Must admit, not a bad show. Wonder whether the calm will last. I'll certainly work to make sure it does.
6.25 p.m. Contemplating the future. With new 8 to 5 arrangement, whither the room for extra-curricular? Whatever shall be my vocational fate? Need lots of consultation on that one. As end of'40 days' approaches, answer should be forthcoming. It now is beginning to make sense.
What have I to fear? After all I've achieved...uncertified...? Nothing but DOUBT must I fear. THAT is the monster to be slain at the soonest. With him vanquished nothing shall obstruct my progress.
Motto for the coming period: He who brought me this far shall take me further still.

Adult angst
Who said only teens suffer angst? I have gnashed all day in the nightmare of anxiety and self doubt! What a way to live.
And I thought I was over that stuff. Seems like so long as I'm alive there'll always be something to trip me up, JUST when everything was going so well.
Good thing is, nowadays it's short-lived. Otherwise I'd have gone out of my mind ages ago.
Oh, bother!
(Btw, the picture on the right, called "The Scream" captures this feeling quite nicely, je pense.)

Social-lifeless
I have no social life. It's official.
It's 6 p.m. on LABOUR DAY and I'm at the office. How holiday is that? Not that I'm working. I had planned to work on my website (I just viewed it and feeling uninspired, ditched that plan.) Happily I haven't been idly twiddling my thumbs; a pdf classic by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been keeping me busy. Quite something these classic books.
When I retire (hopefully in 10 years) I'll write some books which will hopefully become classics and be read for generations to come....yeah right!
