What's on your mind?

Jan 4th, 2011

The very reason, I am starting e-blogging is, first, I am incredibly bored right now, and second, my lap top is broken and it is impossible for me to update my website or/and waste my time else how. However, 

Welcome to the e-blog of Nora Elisabeth, aka sharksnack, aka my e-blog.

It is the 4th of Jan today and guess is the only person at work right now! ME! Being at work is actually not too bad. It keeps me busy and earns some money. But being at work when having no work at all is indeed incredibly unpleasant. You don't believe me? Well, The phone doesn't ring, so I cannot answer it (again, no one esle is working), I run out of websites to surf on,  the games on my computer did indeed run old quite quickly, I updated my training log and I even created a budget planer for the next 5 months. Unnecessary to mentioned that is just after lunch time. For those of you who do not know me, I  am a swimmer, personal trainer and an architect, and exactly like my few activities my entire nature is divided and spread and simply doing everything at the same time. No, I am not a schizo, however you will notice now I sometimes jump from one topic to another. Anything and everything reminds me of everything. I must have a perpetuum mobile for a brain, because it ALWAYS works (and I am not talking here about the unwilling functions of the brain like giving commands to the body to breathe, blink etc); it always thinks of or about something. I could even bet that I am pondering even when sleeping, however I cannot prove that since... well... I am sleeping at that exact time. So, let's talk!

Starting with the fact that my boss is also supposed to be also in the office,right now, however there is no sign of her yet, and yes it does piss me off quite a lot that she can just decide to come in late, if coming in at all, without a notification, but I suppose this is just what bosses do... having started with that, I really don't feel talking about it. So, 

What is on my mind right now?

Simple. Sports... at least mostly it is sports. I know, you don't really understand that right now. It is 34 degrees Celsius outside and I should be probably thinking of the beach, the ocean and just laying in the sand and enjoying the day. Honestly, I cannot do it so why torturing myself with thoughts about it? I am just happy that the office has an air-con, because I have to be here anyway..for whatever so far unknown reason. So, let's go back to sports. Someone asked me the other day what my favorite (swimming) set is. The question sounds very simple, but in fact, it is not simple at all. At least not if it is directed to me. To be able to answer that question, I have to first define favorite. Favorite is, like by anyone else, something that I love. However this something changes anytime. It changes with my mood and it changes with the purpose. Why? Because I really hate to lose. So, knowing that I am doing a set that it won't help me much in near or far future makes even the most fun set to a stupid set. A waste of time. Not having the right mind set and mood also can turn a fun set into hell. After all the first step of losing is failing to prepare. So what is my favorite set? Any set that makes sense in that particular time of the year/ month and that I am performing well. It can be a very hard set. like 4x (400personal, 400 stroke, 400IM) in IM order. Believe me I do want to run away when my coach is announcing such sets. But it won't be in my advantage, would it? And after having been swimming hard, there is nothing better than the active rest, sprints and short swims...

1pm. 4,5h more hours till quitting time. Holly potatoes, I feel like time is not moving at all today... and my boss in just walking in, yay. 

I have to go. Chat later and try not to melt away (in case you're on the beach).

Love

Nora
