Nothingness and Such

I literally accomplished nothing today. Well, other than detangle two rolls of velcro and clear my desk. If you missed my last two entries, you only missed a velcro rant …mostly . . . mixed in with a bit of self-doubt and second-guessing. All of this nothingness leads me to a slight panic about my savings running out, and that of course leads to  more nothingness.

So, since I’ve done nothing worthy of writing about but feel compelled to write regardless, I shall begin with my explanation of the tags I use in my posts. I seriously just make up ridiculous tags. It started to see if they ever actually show up in the feed because all the tags in the feed are spam tags, so because it’s pointless, I just add the most ridiculous tags I can think of to add at the end of my post lol

In other news, I sometimes have to deal with a person who dismisses whatever I say with mindless cliches and just dismissive remarks. Like if I say something that I wondering about, overthinking and analyzing, and I mention it as kind of a conversation starter (I know this sounds ridiculous and I’m cringing myself) …and because I don’t do ‘small talk’  such as talk about the weather or the temperature in the room or whatever meaningless nonsense, and why I even attempt to talk to someone at all who has no interest in talking to me, I have no idea. Anyway, if I happen to say something that is more along the lines of a thought experiment or a ‘what if we did this’ in the business, or “what if this happens” or “were to happen”?  The only response I get is usually a dismissive cliche. Today the dismissive cliche was “We’ll never know.” And I said, “What do you mean we’ll never know? I’LL know. I’ll find out! I’m gonna know!” It was ridiculous and useless but it was my attempt to kind of break the ice.

Again, why I bother,  I have no idea. I’ve decided to remain silent around this other person and enjoy the silence. 🙂

Most days, I think that I accomplish very little.  Sometimes I’m right.  Sometimes I’m wrong.

@peripheral_visionary I’ve started keeping a “Ta Da!” planner just to write down what I actually do during the day. At the end of the day even if I feel like I haven’t accomplished much, I’ve usually done something. Except today. It was a nothingness day for real. 🙂
