I had a mixed day today. For one most of the day was was not particularly productive in terms of excitement which was mainly due to me having to figure out stuff which I didn’t know how it worked – so by trial and error.
Maybe i was a little bit agitated but I made myself apart of a argument which turned out and i realised was rather pointless – i was trying to disapprove a generalised statement that someone made, which by its nature cannot be accurate as a generalization cannot cover all areas and this was my point however I realised that he wasn’t really trying to prove his generalisation but express a subjective opinion. I do that sometimes and i hate it when people pedantically and correctly point out my mistake when basically i’m just trying to make a point. I should have realised this and not mentioned that he was inaccurate in conveying his point. Some would say that correcting anything is correct – i don't think it is, especially if it messes with a dude’s flow – if you know what i mean.
The other strange thing I did today was get rather defensive about a comment that was not serious, and made a rather serious response which was a bit harsh because i meant it – i was frustrated. I immediately regretted because it wasn’t something i like to do, especially if it changes the atmosphere from fun to serious. The other thing is basically combined with the first lesson that is not to be pedantic and accurate so much so that you point out the mistakes of others as it makes others feel uncomfortable.
So a bit disappointed that i let those things slip but having said that, It was a glorious day and I found some pretty cool music on spotify which i starred and listened to on the way back home. The other intresting thing I did today which i did rather guiltily in the office was play around with a IRC c# library which connects to a IRC server, joins a room and shows all messages written by people in the room as messenger-style notifications so you can do real work(as i should’ve) and not have to worry about watching what people say in the chat room by having the chat window in the foreground. So that was a bit geeky.
Yesterday i went to watch Kung-Fu panda 2 with 3 friends which was cool. I enjoyed the conversation which was funny and the movie was ok but i expected it to be much better – sequel syndrome i suppose. I realise sometimes that I talk to much because I’m excited, especially if its funny – i’m like a child – its fun, its arkward but i noticed it. Today is Thursday and thats a good thing as tomorrow is Friday and the whole world is happier on a Friday!
Happy Thursday!
