What's the worst / best (delete where applicable) that could happen?

I'm just taking on Brad Pitt's words from Inglorious Basterds as my new motto.

"Yeah I been chewed out before."

I don't think people can surprise me anymore. I've had or read the majority of complaints the public have had at my job. Occassionally concerning me. And right now I have a twinging sensation that another is on the way.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, "What's the worst that could happen?"

It's been an exhausting week. Friday is my Monday if you didn't know. And I'm starting my week off cosily in bed with my writing device. Soon there will be Irish Tea and radio.

I'm completely off work today. And I need go regather myself as I'm expecting work to be exceptionally busy. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is out. And if classic gloomy May Day weather turns up, my workplace (a cinema) will run riot.

It will be on we few to keep such order.

Not sure what else to tell you.

I like cereal. I panicked about the future throughout the week. There were too many cookies yesterday.

I wonder if I should start asking, "What's the best that could happen?"

Futureheaded

This week has been full of posing questions concerning the future. I'm not adverse to the future. I'm still learning to focus on it more than the past.

Occassionally I even look at my horoscope.

But I've also tried hard to be present in the... Present. Considering life passes by and politicians are playing with upcoming scenarios, the present appears the best place to be.

Today (Friday) I'll be answering these questions on the future. There may even be a practical approach. I suppose I need a challenge.

At the same time I'm rather glad I don't have high responsibilities. Blame is not fired my way. Free time is precious. And I may not have as much money as I did two years ago, but I have more time to unwind and enjoy what time is currently existing.

Though am quite busy this weekend now that I see my schedule. I have made time for Doctor Who. Last week's episode got me back on track with the series.

And sleep. Sleep is beautiful.

My only fear of stepping up to approaching challenges is that I will spend the rest of my life sleeping. I've been getting exhausted more than is normal. Possibly because my diet involves more chocolate now. The sugar rush runs before my brain and belly edge towards 'Shut Down'.

So one must be careful with diet. Berries must be consulted more often. Especially if the oncoming challenges are accepted.

Should I be scared? If anything I should be trained. Training taking place in the present, so tasks can be handled in the future.

But if the future could take its time in getting here, that would be a superb advantage.

Easter Weekend

I suspect it will rain this Easter weekend. A shame. I often remember exceptionally sunny Easters. Even in my twenties a weekend at Easter could seem longer than the entire summer holiday from school or university.

But that's fine by me. This gives me an excuse to busy myself around the household. Maybe if I leave BBCRadio4 on I'll absorb the knowledge and well treated voices it plays out.

I gave up chocolate for Lent. You can imagine my joy at having it soon return to my diet this Sunday. This didn't stop me from turning to other sugared items. But it did help me to save money. Some people (like myself) buy chocolate as others could cigarettes.

Considering I have put on weight in the past year, the giving up of chocolate could serve me well. I've enjoyed my new found freedom without having the pressures of two jobs. One side of this is my active (and stress) levels have fallen. There are several garments in my walk-in wardrobe (spare bed-room) that no longer fit me. Buttons bulge. Shirts stretch. Although people have commented on how much better I'm looking with a fuller figure. One has to look on the brighter side.

But chocolate will be once again be in front of me. Perhaps I should borrow my parent's VHS copy (I still have a video player) of Chocolat. Or reread Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And binge the entire collection of chocolate I've been keeping in my cupboard for breakfast.

Make a real day of it.

I just hope you enjoy Easter as much as I think I will. I have films and reading and walks to catch up on. I'm even going to give Doctor Who another try. Because I remember the excitement I had during the Easter weekend, knowing that the TARDIS was to send us off on fun adventures with clueless aliens.

And one got the weekend off. This is unusual. Working in a cinema during holiday period whilst a large blockbuster film (The Fate of the Furious if you need to know) has been released generally means your weekend doesn't exist.

If I wasn't busy this evening I would go through The Passion of the Christ.

Or Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Whichever one I think will be more beneficial towards society.
