Eventhough I've been putting in very long hours (mostly counterproductive, rightfully unpaid) for my sister's latest venture, going through my frighteningly undiminishable stash of varied coffee beans since one, it makes me look more productive than I really am (I'm thinking if I wore corrective glasses, I would've twiddled them, too) and two, everyone in my family seems to think I breathe the stuff come gift-giving time anyway, so I might as well, there are times when I seriously consider considering getting a real job for once.

Since everyone in my family has one anyway.

And because, I've come to think of it, a less ambiguously Purpose Driven Life's not that bad after all.

Actually skimmed through the book the other day-- whoddathunken, no? Next thing you know I'd be off reading Kiyosaki.

Seriously wish I were the type sometimes.

I am kind of going to get a sort of real job next month, though. Because the planetary alignments and my successfully recuperating self-esteem say so. Doesn't really start 'till a few months later but I'm thinking I'll be employed to being real lofty about it during that hypothetical meantime.

Otherwise-- and it seems my swelling self-esteem would cope should the planets manage to misalign themselves-- I could always go and be a call boy¹. Or dismiss the thought altogether.

Anyway, since one, I've nothing better to do than be counterproductive and two, I doubt there's anything more counterproductive than answering a meme here I go:

1. Can you cook? Divinely when I'm lucky. Inset picture not one of those times. Monster calamari. Reminds me, haven't been posting about my cooking experiments lately, no? And, oh, Jox's new sideblog TSEPdom.blogspot.com. Checkitaww.

2. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator? Feel bored, inconvenienced and thrilled all at the same time. Then press the service button. Otherwise, call upon Grampa God and Papa Jesus' help.

Don't really read a lot because I'm dumb people but it was one of my brother's christmas gifts. Was v. impressed he knew the right kind to give me.
