Sad existence

What I do all day? Stare at my computer screen

What I do most nights? Stare at my computer screen and TV screen

I wonder if there's such a thing as wearing out one's eyes because of over use. I mean how much is too much and how do I know when it's too much. Right now I can actually feel like I need to rest my eyes...but am I? 1 guess!!!

I guess you're also wondering why I'm posting so much this month, well its anyone's guess really. Sometimes I just feel like, other times I really couldn't be bothered.

PET PEEVE #1

What is it with people and their mobile phones ringing during functions, ok, I acknowledge that sometimes one genuinely forgets to turn off their phone before the meeting begins. But say for example you forgot to switch it off, why would you ignore it when it started to ring? Is the logic that it will magically switch itself off? Are you too embarrassed to dive for your bag and switch it off, and if so isn't it more embarrassing to actually let it ring and have all the people in the meeting shooting you dirty looks? Where am I coming from with this? Well, yesterday I went for a poetry evening after class at Alliance (me who doesn't get poetry, I hear you say...thought I should expose myself to more French...I only understood 3 words!!! So much for that). Anyway, in the middle of a performance this phone starts ringing, and as usual everyone loses concentration and starts looking around for the culprit, we all zone in to the general area from which it is ringing, but no one is diving for a bag in a bid to turn it off. So I immediately started thinking that maybe it wasn't hers or even maybe it was a phantom ring we all were imagining. But nooooo, shortly after it stops ringing by itself, the lady picks up her bag, takes out the phone and begins to examine the missed call details...or so I thought. At this point I was staring at her incredulously...but noooo, that was not all, kumbe she was actually dialling the person back and she actually had a conversation with this person!!! At this point we were all shooting daggers, but Miss Thing didn't give a hoot, she calmly finished her conversation (thankfully it was brief!) as if it was perfectly normal to have a phone conversation during a poetry reading. To say I was shocked is an understatement; no one had the guts/courage to impress upon her the importance of common courtesy. Anyway, I don't know why I was shocked, during one French class; this one guy receives his call and proceeds to have a conversation while le professeur was teaching, again total disregard and disrespect for the teacher and the rest of us!!!
