Now, they say that all people are easilly distracted. I'll quite freely admit that I'm one of those whose head can be turned by a butterfly in the window...... and 30 min later, despite the fact the butterfly has long gone, still be looking out there just watching the day go by..... now if only there was a job in which I could get paid by simply looking out the window. Testing the effectivness of advertisment, that sort of thing.
So here I am, "working" hard on my thesis, having typed more words in emails and here today than I have typed for my thesis. What can I say?? Do I have any excuse....?? Nope, other than I hate my work!!
It simply isn't interesting. I mean, when emailing my friend talking about the differences between the confession of sins for the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Church (I'm one, she's the other) you have to wonder if my heart just isn't in it any more.
And incase you're interested, we weren't looking into the history behind the differences, but more the differences themselves. For instance, the fact that in the Anglican faith the confession of sins happen at the begining of the service wit habsolution given by the Priest to all, whereas in the Catholic faith the Priest is there, not to forgive the sins (a common misconception) but there as Christ representive. To give advice and reassure the person confessing that their sins have been forgiven.
But I'm sure that you can see how boring my work must be that an email conversation about such a topic is that more interesting....... scary thing is, it is that much more interesting!!!!
It has also made me compleatly forget what it was I was going to write about, which is just as well, cause I think I've had more fun writing about this than I would about that.
Among the interesting stories I've found today was about the Cardiff pair who drove a 40 year old Trabant on the Plymouth-Dakar Rally (though going to Banjul, Gambia), which in all fairness seems to be one of the most funnest races to do. If only because you have to drive a car worth £100 or less and have no backup crew. Now, apart from all the hassles of trying to cross the borders in Africa, this seems like it'd be a real hoot!!! Not that I think that the travelling is a lot better than the arriving.
This is more than enough...... for I have better things to be doing.... like finding out how to spell Jaccuzi..... don't ask!! ;)
