habits of effective people

I was reading a blog post about dealing with visitors with bad habits. I find the most effective strategy for meeting people on your own terms is to avoid knowing anyone.

If you can't do that, make sure Cap'n Kev is in Queensland and Spud's brother's in Arizona, flogging spiral manadalas to the indians. I've got a whole two weeks off work, and I don't have to spend it with anyone!

I've been able to get on with some vital work. The plastic bags are sorted into large and small piles; ditto the rubber bands. Of course you need three separate classifications when it comes to paper clips.

Here's a treat, some old xmas cards, photographed on their way to the bin. Everything becomes garbage one day.

  1. Albert? Is that you? Great that you can find suitable work for yourself on your holidays. Personally I'd sit quietly doing nothing, but that's just moi! If you had a proper job, you might appreciate the holidays better. Hope this helps. Hotboy

  2. I say!

    Failing anything else to do, I get Doviko to put the canned fruit & veg into alphabetical order.

  3. Albert? Is that you? Sorry, but since then I've become completely unavailable. It's all about the drugs. I can't stand speaking to flatheided basturns who don't have any drugs to give me. What is the point of flatheids if they don't have any guns, money, lawyers or drugs? Cringeing in with the disgusting bourgeois might fire your rockets, but please send the drugs in advance. Otherwise, it's just too depressing. I'll save them until you get here. Or, why don't you join a bridge club or something, so you can get to know other old people. Pickle your dog in brandy and send it in advance so I can bugger it. Hope this helps. I've joined the I hate all basturns and shooty shooty the lot of them since I've had to be nice to nice people today. I fung hate that. When you come to Blighty, me and Brian Wilson will meet you on the savanah. You can put our drugs down and take some paces back. You know what I'm going to say anyway. Hello. I hate everyone. Hope this helps. Hotboy

  4. My aunt used to say that visitors are like fish- they start to smell after 3 days. For me, the rot starts at about 3 hours, max. That's why it's always better to visit others than have them visit you.

    H-etc. would love and admire your OCD, and wishes it on me every time she visits professionally in her cleaner capacity.

  5. ion - my grandfather said the same thing. I prefer your version.

    HB - the murderous impulses are from all the excess testosterone resulting from your physical jerks. Stop exercising and fell the calm. Look at me!

    MM - if you have DVDs in Malawi, he could sort them alphabetically, then resort by year. I find it helps.

  6. Albert? Is that you? It looks as if someone is posting comments and pretending to me moi! It's probably something to do with the soup and some kind of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde malarkey. Just don't pay any attention. Hotboy
