Keep Calm and Carry On

or so I try.

I have plastered this poster and a "Don't Panic" button from Hitchhikers' Guider to the Galaxy on one of my walls in my cubicle where I attempt to work. I thought they would provide me with a smile in times of need and actually do what they say but they don't actually seem to be for the last few months.

As I attempt to rewrite a report that needs a substantial reworking according to my supervisor, and clarifying all the small little details I have glossed over, I just can't seem to work at all. I don't understand anything, I've lost interest in all the work I've been working on for the last year and just feel utterly useless. Just persevere as he keeps on saying, but what if I'm persevere into nothing?

I would take a break (or take it easy as I have been informed frequently), but the deadline is looming closer and closer...

I just hope it does all fall into place soon and that my button and poster would actually work.

The First, the Last, My Everything

I've been meaning to start up a new blog for quite a why but never really got round to it. There were several reasons why I wanted to start a blog which I'm sure I will expand upon at a later data.

This also isn't my first blog, I had one during the start of my university years, but like all the fads I start, they eventually wither out. To add to this, I used my blog a bit too much as a ranting sound board, to the extent that I indirectly offended people who got there own back by posting the private posts on Facebook so their friends could further ridicule me on my pedantic nature. I suppose I've learnt my lesson from that then...

That isn't to say that I won't rant on this blog at all. I'll just take a bit more care about what I say, and who will get to read it I suppose.

I haven't told anyone about this blog and not sure if I will given my previous experience. I've decided I'll wing it  and see if internet folk stumble upon me. I predict fairly low numbers...

Before this post turns too long (word of warning: I do tend to write a bit too much frequently), I'd like to comment on the name of this blog. It took me quite a while before in deciding the name; not particularly useful when you're trying to think of witty names and an associable yet unique web address. For those of you expecting an observation post of people sporting bob haircuts, you'll be greatly disappointed I'm afraid. Bob is/was a nickname and I'll just use this as an update post for those who are interested enough in me. Yes, the Bob saga is quite interesting but I shall leave that for another time...
