What Lynnette Means
|
You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

To be working is, above all, to learn to live with routine. I never knew how much a flexible timetable called for appreciation until my collision with regular working hours.
Everyday I wake up between 630 to 645 and am out of the house by 730 so that i can get to the train station early enough to take a train backwards to pasir ris, grab a seat and concuss blissfully and enviously while sad people living in simei, eunos and paya lebar bang elbows and frown. I get to work by 9, I stay at work from 9 to 6 or so, I get home by 730 and by the time I'm done with mandatory dinner/shower/phonecall to boyfriend my day is over. I go to sleep and the days repeat themselves
I don't mind working. Its fun to get to do things like think of titles for art catalogues and write copy for wedding advertisements. Its also fun to do pseudo-CDA and write design rationales. Its also fun to write stupid articles for GRC newsletters that are by default so filled with ! and "In true spirit of community cohesiveness and solidarity"-type statements that it's laughable.
Its fun it really is i just never realized how un-fun it is to have so much time toed up doing just one thing. and it doesnt help that i don't always have anything to do at all. Sometimes when i'm done with whatever i need to write I sit at my desk and facebook
Or read. OR message or covertly use adium
My favourite part of the day is walking to work in the morning. From the train station there's this back lane that goes between the back of two rows of restored shophouses. There are old trees that line the path, and these loom down in a most friendly manner. Walking under all this green with clear morning sunshine in my face is when I start to wake up and it makes for a very pleasant start to the day. There are a couple of tame cats that sit on the path sunning themselves. They're terribly sweet and run towards people rather than away.
The cats usually hang out in this basketball court looking area (what its doing there I have no idea since its more like half or a quarter of a court and i've only ever seen little kids playing badminton there). When I pass them, I turn the corner and reach the office.
Working (even if it is only for 2 months) makes one appreciate a whole bevy of things. Like lunches with friendly people (I dont have all that much to say to the people i work with though they are nice and all); dinners with friends and other loved people; weekends and the person who makes the effort to plan the weekly get together; websites like
bookforum and
n+1 which provide great stuff to read; my new phone which thankfully has a decent sound platform and allows for proper earphones rather than that crap sliding plastic bar that was my old nokia....
thats a lot to be grateful for.
