Most important news

I have been going over this for a week now. On my birthday two things were important newswise..
Rumsfeld declining and the Britney Spears' divorce. For the last week I guess I have been reading more about the divorce then about american domestic politics. Somehow I feel superficial and not very interested. But on the other hand it feels like the world is with me on these topics...
Well maybe it just was a good week for finally getting rid of some of the most annoying guys in the world. No matter what influence they had on who.

Business Course

Tomorrow I am going to attend a business course at TNO. And I am worried for days now.
It's on the ICT department and today I found out what I have suspected for a long time now... I do not know anything anymore about ICT. Used to study computer science 7 years ago so my knowledge is somewhat old... somewhat? Very very old....
I looked at the website today and I freaked out. It's an entire day talking and working on a business case, with the matching technology, management processes and user interfaces.
All I can do are the user interfaces. I have got no clue about business cases, management processes or whatever. So I guess I am gonna play the part of consciousness.
Would it be alright if we...? Can we...? I do not think anybody would like that, do you?
Maybe I'll be chairman and pick my battles and make decisions... and keep my ass away from any technology part whatsoever.

My main solution for now is: Go shopping... :)
I do not have any decent clothes anymore... (no I know I am a girl and every girl says so... But I have been a student over 9 years.. and working in a dirty job.. so there was no money nor cleanliness for new clothes) and I guess making a great first impression is all I can do.
Somehow I feel that wearing my fleece blanket, wrapped around me as a superman cape, which I have been doing for the last two days now, won't do the trick... bullocks....

Wake up!

Today it struck me while looking at my honey jar. We are destroying the earth.
We have already went so far from natural to artificial. I was wondering whether my vanilla honey would actually taste like vanilla with only one vanilla stick in it. Of course not, they have put extra essences in there. And if we can not even trust honey..

I was happy because it would be like 15 degrees C on my birthday. In the same state of mind I thought it was horrible. My birthday is supposed to be cold and grey an rainy. And if you are really really lucky at little snowy. But now I could walk in shorts... I always explained to people my birthday was the week when the leaves would fall from the trees. Well there are still leaves there and they are green. It just not feels right.
I truly start to worry.
