Yup, i'm truly living up to my reputation of being an Occasional Blogger. You see, so many things cross my/our minds; but there never seems to be enough time. Wait! There probably is, but it's just occupied by other things (re: FACEBOOK). But, I again promise to be a little more faithful to my blog.
I'm a stickler: I love to follow rules. After all, there's always a good reason why they were set up in the first place. I view rules as ways of harmonising things - otherwise, if we all decided to do what we want to do, what a mess that would create in an already chaotic world! So, why is it that others feel the need to NOT FOLLOW rules? For example, many work places have what are termed as Standard Operating Procedures. Over the past coupla years, i've had to encounter those that a) are ignorant of these SOPs; and are b) intent on not following such established SOPs. The result has been total frustration for me because when you ask them to justify why they won't follow the rules, they have absolutely no reasons for it!!!!
I'm a creature: Duh....of course. Hahaha. But, i'm a creature of habit. I have set routines for everything about my personal life that I don't like to break. Why? Because, when I break them, that totally confuses and frustrates me. I do things in a programmed manner - very difficult life to live in this rather haphazard and confused world we live in. I like to follow a routine when I wake up in the morning; I have a routine for how my work stars at my desk each day; I have a routine for how my Friday evening should go and my life is one big routine. The Security Test said not to stick to e.g. one route when going home as this could be potentially dangerous if you have people targetting you. And i'm like, yeah right! I hate my routine being interfered with. So, i'm not a good person when it comes to "impromptu" plans. I need to be given advanced warning about stuff - and, if you want me to be an active participant in whatever it is, it is best to keep this in mind.
So, what does that make me? Predictable? Difficult? Complicated, or what? Is it such a bad thing? I wish people took the time out to know me, my thinking and my likes; it really would make our relationship less complicated.
More later...I have lots of things to write about, but I also have to get the juices flowing again.
