I remember in Junior high that there were predictions that mandarin was going to replace english as the language of commerce.

Intriguingly it's one of the main languages in the sci-fi show Firefly which is based in the future. They actually curse in Chinese on the show and the movie Serenity. Amusing.
If people would just occasionall indulge in reading somthing they normally wouldnt life would be so much easier.
According to the Times I have the most sttressful job :eek2:

Why do thing always happen together and overlap and I can never choose cos any choice brings some good but also some loss?
I'm in the process of applying for a traineeship I've been wanting to do for ages (only now I meet the requirements). And today I got a great job offer from another place, in a field that is not what I would want to do of my life... But still, it's a very good place and even if it's in the commercial field (not my cup of tea), it does seem interesting and with good prospects... I'm going to have an interview and see what happens, but it makes me wonder... if they choose me, I'll have to put all my dreams aside... the crazy things, the adventures, the things I want to do now that I'm still young and I might not care about when I'll be 40... And I'll have to live here, in the same house, in the same city I've been dreaming of leaving for good since I was 13...
It's weird... It would be foolish to give up on such a job opportunity... I'll take it and see if they want me, and I'll leave it if I get a place at that traineeship (I won't know until late March) or, later on, if I find something related to what I really want.
Though I still don't know what I really want... something more literary than the commercial office of a company, but well... that shouldn't suck either, at least for a few months/years.
The upside is that I was offered that job because I studied Russian. Maybe it's a choice that will eventually pay... and maybe one day I will have a great CV and be able to choose among many great possibilities...
Perhaps I should start reading the ... thing ... "Law of Criminal Process". That sounds strange. "Strafprozessrecht" which means exactly the same sounds way easier. At least it isn't so complicated ... for me. I wonder if there actually IS a law of (the?) criminal process in England or America. Though it isn't really a 'law', it's more a description. A very long one but not really a law. Or maybe it is? Because it's a description?
Or perhaps it's not a real description. Not entirely. One would have to define "description" to know that I guess. Or one could stop thinking such nonsense and just start reading the book!
As I was sitting a few moments ago in front of my desk, my attention was caught by a bird by the window. I gazed at it for a moment watching it flying lifely and jumping from side to side. I wondered why could not I be so having a short life worth living. Each second I spend would have a meaning. But still here I sit writing this post.
Quik Quack Queek Quaack Quack Quack.
It's cold outside.
Minus 23 celsius.
The primary school kids at least get frost holidays, and lucky for them. It would seem quite cruel to send a seven-year-old to school with such weather.
We wouldn't say no to cold holidays either.
Life, in a sense, is a protracted diseased existance, and I suppose our life will ony have meaning in our death, and by how we have crawled along in our meaningless existance.
Lifes a b :mad: then you die. :D
You make me heartly laugh Glady. I like your thought.Quote:

It is Winnie the Pooh Day (A.A. Milne's birthday): Winnie the Pooh Quiz
:bawling: I'm a bear of very little brain. I got 1/10. :eek2: I knew that the Pooh illustrations were based on "Growler" the teddy bear. :D
I may be stupid when it comes to Pooh, but they still have poor grammar:

Give Thy Thought No Tongue
Give Thy Ears To Every Thought
Note to self: How can I do that? Whenever I brings my ear near to the telephone on which my brother is talking to someone, I nearly gets a slap. I can't even give my ears to the old feeble telephone then how can I give my ears to people's thoughts?
