The Hazards of Playing Three Different Musical Instruments

The title says it all.

1. The Keyboard with Strings and Hammers

Well this one... is Schmetterling's first instrument.

Hazards :
All sorts of hand and wrist sprains.
Prone to little bits breaking off which results in a need for a $50 replacement.
Expensive lessons which burn a hole in your pocket.
The psychological trauma of having to see a (male) teacher with fluffy purple bedroom slippers every week.



2. The Bunch of Reeds

Schmetterling's second and favoritest instrument. :)
Causes severe shortness of breath and giddyness due to lack of oxygen to the brain.
Like the first, causes all sorts of hand and wrist sprains.
Also results in a very sore tongue indeed.
Also rather loud, thus Schmetterling is somewhat deaf now.


3. The Six-Stringed Block of Wood

Just recently picked up.

Results in blisters and calluses. ( I grieve for my soft smooth skin )
Also causes some damage to nails. Therefore Schmetterling does not paint her nails.
Lessons burn hole in pocket.









Crap entry. But bored.

10 Signs You Should Quit Your Job.....ASAP

1. The people around you actually talk to themselves.
Seriously! And it is only rational to assume that since they are going mad, you are going mad too.

2. You start to have nightmares about printers printing endless documents.
A result of sitting too next to the printer which everybody uses and being constantly exposed to its unending clacks and drones.

3. Your fingers are magically attracted to the Ctrl, Shift and arrow keys.
As a result of too much Microsoft Excel.

4. You can type Excel formulas faster than whole English sentences.
Again, a result of too much Excel.

5. Your liver is dying from processing too much caffeine.
Because company coffee is heavily subsidised and it's the only thing that keeps you awake. Not to mention that your heartbeat probably sounds like a blender.

6. You are on the brink of getting a Deep Vein Thrombosis.
Because you sit still longer than a mother hen hatching eggs.

7. Your lunch consists of a single cereal bar.
Because the canteen food is terrible and you can't afford two bars.

8. You can't subtract five-digit numbers without using a calculator.
Because the computer radiation has killed off too many of your brain cells. Also, doing meaningless, repetitive tasks is not a way to improve IQ.

9. You spend most of your time traveling back and forth from the watercooler or toilet.
Because work is so boring that walking seems like a rollercoaster ride.

10. You irritate a lot of your friends.
By your constant whining and sms-ing (to alleviate boredom).

Sick.

Diary-x crashed.

Schmetterling isn't in a much better state. Schmetterling is very sick.

Schmetterling is unable to float.

Schmetterling misses her old blog.

Schmetterling is typing nonsense.

Just bear with this for the current moment. In process of setting up blog. Zzzz.
