A few weeks back, I couldn't find the time and energy to sit down peacefully and update my blog. Things are slightly better now.I treasure every minute I get.
It's amazing how time gets spent so easily when we don't realize it and it seems like time has stopped when we are forced to do something / painfully stuck with something.
I was packing and cleaning crazily a few days back, and there were moments of complete desperation and utter frustration which eventually passed. I told myself that I'd blog about those moments and have a laugh after that mad spree ended ... so here I am.
How hard is it to pull out keys from a keyring? Probably not hard at all! Believe it or not ... I spent nearly half an hour or more (which seemed like eternity!) figuring out the trick to accomplish this simple task! Arrgh! Luckily, my uncle spared me the trouble yesterday. I had to insert just one key to get the whole trauma over with. I am quite the spoiled brat.
Shoe laces!! Don't even get me started on this.
I bought a very expensive pair of shoes from Oaks Mall a few weeks before I left Gainesville. The shoes are great. Black and white Nike, awesome look, great feel ... but the annoying thing was that the laces kept getting untied. I was irritated beyond description in words. Solution - I removed those pathetic shoelaces and replaced them with a nicer set from my old shoes. I thought I'd go mad trying to make both sides of each shoelace equally long when I struggled with the crisscross mess I had made in the holes. I hope the laces don't come off when I walk to work tomorrow.
Lids not opening - This has happened many times with metal lids on glass jars. I have learned to use brute strength and shout / scream to open lids of pickle jars & other bottles.
Absence of computing power - This is definitely the greatest agony. Most of my time is spent in staring at a screen, preferably a screen > 10" wide. It's SO very excruciating when I don't have my 2nd oxygen. I want to die before my laptop when I grow old. What a way to die! :) Err ... scratch that ... I wanna live with my laptops for now.
Perhaps, these exhausting things give one the patience to endure other consequential things in life. I don't know. I don't wanna to feel grown up at the moment and I don't really enjoy talking like one.
Anyway ... that's all I have time for tonight. Will come back with more soon. Adios!

The blog certainly speaks of a period if demanding and hectic schedule. This leaves little room to the fun part of fondling with hopeless jars or keys. Modern world must thank the harmless (?!) social net working through web. No doubt life is electronic too! Nice blog. pl write more.
liked the 2nd oxygen concept...True Computer Science Engineer speaking
Hi,
your fingers are too delicate and that should be the reason for the trouble with keys. boredom may be the culprit for the irritation towards the shoe laces. But you know to heat the metal lids on glass jars to open them easily. May be you did not try them yourselves before.
Absence of computing power is really very difficult for you and I wish you happy living with your laptops!
Enjoy yourself!
Keep writing.
