The long walk to Friday...

Is, at last, over. It has been a rough week and I am super stoked that the weekend has arrrived.

I have as much energy right now as George Bush has common sense, so I won't be posting a long one today.

“Life is a cement trampoline.” —Howard Nordberg. Stolen from SA-Essay's blog, this is my quote for the day.

No, I'm kidding. It's really not so bad ;-) I have stuff to look forward to... picnic on Sunday, spa treatment for hubby and I next weekend (my birthday present from my parents), hubby's birthday next Sunday... And all these good things make the rough stuff okay.

Before I bugger off to spend some quality time with my pillow, a last cry to all those in Gauteng this weekend to join me for my birthday picnic. Mail me if you're keen: doodlesofajourno@gmail.com.

Have a good one!

First doodle

I'm not really sure why I'm starting a blog. Probably because I have spare time at work for a change.

Amazing how one has endless ideas that one longs to jot down, but as soon as the opportunity arises, they all flee one's mind like cats that have just spotted the mother of all Rotweilers.

Well, then, let me borrow from someone of greater eloquence and leave you (or not, depending on whether anybody ever reads this or not) with a quote for the day:

"If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and would explode once a year, killing everyone inside."
By Robert X Cringely

Yes, my technology is being particularly stroppy today. The printer, the office network, the server and the fax machine are in the process of planning a revolution. I can feel it in my bones.

If my first post happens to be my last... I'm probably lying dead in a pile of ink and toner, with reams of fax paper stretched tautly around my neck.
