Stuff I’ve Talked About Today

I’ve had two meals today. Both out. Both with friends. I skipped breakfast but had a coffee with my pimp instead. Please note my pimp is my recruitment consultant and he is a good dude.

Now, I am home, and I am tired, and I don’t feel like writing, but I will put something down because that is the contract I have with myself.

Anyway, I’ve had lots of interesting conversations today. Here are some of the topics I’ve talked about, with no context or explanation:

  • Travelling to Paris the long way
  • Facing US immigration (It shouldn’t be an issue, but it’s still anxiety-making)
  • The football finals
  • Why Essendon is worse than Collingwood (Collingwood supporters can at least laugh at themselves)
  • Agnosticism versus atheism
  • Leaving contracts
  • My business idea for my downtime. 
  • The joys of autism
  • What we will get up to on our writer's retreat
  • How to stay sane on social media
  • The joys of sweet-and-sour pork
  • The joys of speaking another language
  • The best fish and chips in Darwin (Stokes Hill Wharf as far as I'm concerned, but that is only in the city)
  • Anti-vaxxer
  • Going to Versailles after the writer's retreat.
  • How the Crows tend to joke of the finals
  • My pussycat.
  • My friend’s pussycat, who has his own Instagram page.
  • Dodgy television
  • Handover strategies
  • The dreaded feeling of overwhelm
  • Why Rescue Remedy is better than Xanax
  • What we are going to pack for France, particularly what shoes are we going to take?
  • The rail strikes in Paris.
  • Why I don't watch the footy. 
  • Bad telly. 
  • All the shit we have to do now we're older. And not do. 
  • Medication
  • Fun phrases in other languages. 
  • The Babelfish principal. 
It's been an interesting day. 

But I'm knackered now.
