Things! In my Lungs!

[andrewducker]

Woke up today in no fit condition to go to work - slime is either exploding out of my nose or sliding down the back of my throat, where it does things to my stomach that you _do not_ want to know about.  Today will instead be spent persuading the cat that she does not want to sit on said stomach and reading the entirety of Transmetropolitan (apart from the last three books, which Amazon are withholding from me).

Oh, and doing the occasional internet quiz:

What I Like About Being a Five

    * standing back and viewing life objectively
    * coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
    * my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
    * not being caught up in material possessions and status
    * being calm in a crisis

What's Hard About Being a Five

    * being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
    * feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
    * being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
    * watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally

Take the test yourself here.

Very graphic!!! Not had anything like that for...oooh ages. Years. Best of luck in clearing it up.

That was me last week - the dreaded lurgy strikes again!

I read the whole of Transmet over the Christmas hols - fantastic. It reads so much better as a whole - loads of fun wee threads running through it.

According to that test I am also a five. Which fits, but I could easily have chosen any of the first three answers, depending on mood.

Hope the phlegm recedes soon.

Oh. Five sounds suspiciously like me.

Then again, so did eight.
