Number 39

I've turned into one of those people who:
  • leaves the washing up in the sink until the next morning, or (worse) lets it build up for days
  • has piles of paperwork on their desk, undealt with, unfiled
  • has uncontrollable email; hundreds of un-filed messages; an inbox i can no longer manage.
  • sort of hates email now
  • has a dozen partially read books spread around the house
  • watches YouTube instead of TV
  • has started doing those annoying things their parents did.
As a child you swear you'll do and say everything differently to mum and dad. When they piss you off you think "When i'm a parent i'll NEVER do that to my kids."
Then one day you're talking to someone and listening to the words coming out of your mouth with the horrible knowledge that you sound just like your mother.
